Volleyball drills

• Make threes
• Each trio one ball.
• Player in the middle runs an 8 each time. Each time this player gets in the middle, a ball is thrown:
  • A throws (or plays overhand) the ball to B (in the middle).
  • B plays the ball back to A underhand and then runs around A until he is in the middle again.
  • A meanwhile passes the ball overhead to C.
  • C plays the ball overhand back to B.
  • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
  • Etc.
• After 2-3 minutes, the player in the middle changes.

Variation:

• To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
• To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.

• Player 1 at position LF at the net, player 2 at MA to defend.
• Player 3 (= SV) on RA (use pawn to indicate RV position; SV has to start behind it).
  
  
• LF throws ball to MA with arc.
• SV runs in at that point from RA, around the pawn (RV on ~3 meter line) to SV position (between MV and RV position)
• MA passes the ball to SV
• SV catches the ball above the head (all players turn 1 spot, or repeat exercise 5 times)
  
  
• Can be extended with setup to LF where
  • player 1 throws the ball from the net
  • then goes to the 3 meter line (for the run to attack)
  • simulates an attack and takes care of the setup.
• If necessary expand with an attack instead of catching.

• Player A serves the ball to player C.
• Player C passes the ball to player B.
• Player B sets up the ball.
• Player D attacks.

Goal: try to attack/play 3rd ball on the mats (straight or diagonal).

After each ball move one place in your own group.

Extension: When there are enough players, one could also choose to place a block.

Extend with blocking.

• Three players on the back line.
• At about one meter from the sidelines you put a pylon.
• The other players stand around the field to pick up the balls.
• The trainer at the net throws the balls into the field at a high speed.
• It is up to the players to pass the balls back to the trainer, or at least to hit the ball.
• Then the players join in again at the back, and so they keep running and looking at the ball.
• The remaining players stand around the field to collect the balls played away and pass them back to the trainer.
