Volleyball drills

Make two teams. These players face each other with a ball in the middle on the ground.
The trainer takes turns calling out something for the players to do. This can be :

  • Head (tap head)
  • Shoulders (tap the shoulders)
  • Knee (tap the knees)
  • Toe (tap toes)
  • Ball (grab the ball)


The pairs compete against each other, trying to get the ball as quickly as possible and win.

  • The players line up at position 5 with ball,
  • a set-upper at position 2/3,
  • one attacker at position 4.
  • 1 player stays out of the rotation for a while and sits on a chair in the middle at the other side of the court with 6 sheets (on them number 1 to 6).
  • The players are going to build up an attack,
    • position 5 throws the ball,
    • position 2/3 gives a set-up
    • and position 4 passes the ball over.
  • The player at the other side of the net, when the set-upper plays the ball, holds up one of the six leaves with number.
  • The attack must pay attention to this and play the ball on the spot indicated by the player on the chair.
  • The player behind the first attacker throws the ball to the distributor.
  • This player passes the ball on to the attacker at the net. (Free hit)
  • Extension:
    • 3 defenders at the other side of the field.
    • The attackers hit the defense.
    • They pass the ball to the defender's position.
      • If necessary, place a basket through which the ball must pass.


drawing Striking + defending
  • The trainer throws the ball over to 1 of the 3 players and the passer runs around the cone to the mat and tries to catch the ball on the mat and put it in the basket.
  • The 2 reserves do ladder exercises and then one of the reserves takes the place of the reception player and the reception player becomes a passer and the passer becomes a reserve.
  • While the one player does the reception, the other two move to their home positions and get ready to attack.
drawing course
  • You start in the middle.
  • You walk to the first hat, then back to the middle again.
  • You do this with every hat.
drawing Fitness and agility
  • Line up on the back line.
  • Trainer rolls the ball towards the middle line.
  • The player who gets the ball first has won.
drawing Get the ball
  • Person 1 is lying on the ground.
  • Person 2 is standing with his ankles next to the head of person 1.
  • Person 1 grabs the ankles of person 2.
  • Then person 1 lifts his legs up in an extended way and person 2 pushes them down again.
  • It is person 1's job not to let his legs touch the ground.

If necessary, expand with side abdominal muscles. Then push the legs to the side instead of straight ahead.

  • Player 1 throws the ball to player 3.
  • 3 passes back and then runs sideways to player 2.
  • Player 2 throws the ball to 3 and 3 passes back again.
