Volleyball drills

  • Row in front of trainer behind three-meter line, trainer at net.
  • Player keys the ball, trainer plays/throws it back.
  • Then player passes OH to trainer.
  • Trainer passes to 2nd player keys the ball over the net.
  • Player retrieves ball and joins other group.
drawing Construction for beginners
  • Divide players into 2 teams over both halves of the field. 1 player waits at the pawn.
  • Trainer throws the ball in. Teams play the ball over the net to each other.
  • Each player who has played the ball taps the pawn, waits and then takes the place of the one currently leaving the field.
  • After playing over the net each time, pass on.
Extension: throw in the same way as you caught the ball.

drawing Chaos for Beginners
  • Player with ball carrier plays 1 ball per duo over net.
  • Duo tries to defend and make point.
drawing Per duo defend ball and score.
  • 3 servers on one side of the net.
  • 2 rows of the remaining players.
  • From both rows 1 into the court. So a total of 2.
  • Servers take turns serving.
  • 2 players in the court pass the ball to the other player, who set the ball, 3rd ball over it.
drawing Playing 3rd
  • Trainer rolls balls to a corner of the field.
  • Player runs as fast as possible to the ball and touches it.
  • Moment of touching, is start rolling next ball to the other corner.
  • If a player is late, he must try to still touch the ball with a dive.
drawing Run away
2 groups:
6 offensive players
4 defensive players


  • Trainer starts with a throw-on at position 6
  • Player at position 6 passes the ball to SV -3-.
  • SV plays ball to position 4 for attack.

  • 4- puts a block and defends the ball. If the ball is defended the rally continues.
  • Note a blocker and someone in the backfield. After single ball routing.
  • Emphasis is on attack. Smash.
  • Rotating players.
6 vs. 4 free play.
4-talstarts service themselves.
Rotate.
  • One always serves with a command and then runs after the ball.
  • Players move from A to B, B to C and C to D, then start over again.
  • Serving on the mat is 2 points, serving near the mat 1 point and serving incorrectly 1 point off.
At the end, who has the most points?
drawing Serving with assignments
  • The base team of six gets successively from the small team a serve, an attack -trainer plays rally ball the small team- and a free ball.
  • The trainer plays rally ball on the small team and they play the ball back in one go.
The base team gets 3 attempts to score 3 balls in a row.
  • If this succeeds, they rotate one spot.
  • If this fails, the players from the small team switch with players from the base team.
The goal is to complete all rotations in the time the exercise is run.
  • Service is made from position 5 on a pair; p/l & libero.
  • After service, this person goes to defend at position 5.
  • Side-out must be scored by attackers at position 3, 4 or 6.
  • After the side-out, the coach hits balls from position 4 into the diagonal, which are defended by players at position 4, 5 and 6.
  • From the defense again the attack must be scored. Rally is played out, after which everything starts again.
Points of attention:
  • Block shields position 1 and 2. After the pass/defense cover -don't do nothing-.
  • Make good choices in game distribution.
  • Efficiency training: 20 balls 10 x service & 10x defense.
When everyone has had their turn in this way, we do the exercise in mirror image.
  • Serve from position 1, block at position 3 and 4. Shield position 4 and 5.
  • Defending at position 1, 2, 5 and 6.
  • Attacking at position 1, 3 and 6.
Field is divided into 4 squares and in each square there is a pair; one behind the other.

The exercise expands and proceeds successively in this way:

On one side of the field everyone plays straight and on the other side everyone plays diagonally so that the ball "goes around.
  • Underarm passes within 3 meters and immediately pass overhead to the other side. Then run after the ball.
  • Same, only now the ball is not passed on, but instead a setup is given.
    • The 2nd person plays the ball overhand over the net.
    • The one who gave the setup runs on and the one who played the ball over the net goes back to pass.
  • Same, only now both persons are going to defend. The field runs to the double back line, 6 meters.
    • The ball is passed in jump to the opposite side. This may be long and short and it is up to the two defenders to solve this.
    • The one who jumps the ball goes after it.
  • Idem, only now the attacker is calm and defensible. Everything else remains the same, so the attacker rotates after the ball.
The pairs, as they stand now, stay together.
  • First a game is played on half-field straight.
  • Then the winners and losers play against each other on half field diagonally. Back line is 6 meters.
  • Games are played to 10 points.
At positions 2 and 4 are blockers, who close up the straight.
The middle players take turns "working".
  • Blocking at position 3 on the ball.
  • Blocking on 4 on thrown ball, making space and attacking run on 3.
  • Blocking on thrown ball on 3 and finally blocking on position 2 on hit ball.
The outside sides rotate through.
  • After blocking, dive to the 3-meter line and join the strike.
  • The one who struck goes to block, and so on.
  • When the one who attacked steps in to attack, the outside blocker joins in.
After the middle players have all been 3 times, the outside players switch positions and another series of 3 follows.
Various strength exercises:

  • 20 seconds of planks straight.
  • 20 seconds of planks left.
  • 20 seconds planks right.
  • Recline: tap left shoulder, tap right shoulder, slap behind back and again. 5 x.
  • 10 squat jumps.
Repeat all exercises 3x.
