Volleyball drills

• Play overhead and underhand along the net.
• chase your ball (min. 5 persons around the run)

• game set-up without the outfield striker.
  • (3 man defence, 1 playmaker, centre and slide player).
• Ball is served from opposite field, team defends and playmaker with every ball on middle or slide (possibly on bad pass 3 meter line).

• all players are equally matched.
• 2x normal forward field up and down.
• 2x forward to net, backward shuffle.
• 4x sideways pass.
• 2x cross pass
• 3x run to net, block, turn around and dive back into the run.

These exercises are done in pairs.

• Exercise 1:
  • Person 1 stands with a ball at the net, person 2 starts at the 3-meter line. Person 1 hits the ball and person 2 has to run backwards and play the ball to person 1 again. 10x per person.
• Exercise 2:
  • Person 1 stands on the 3-meter line with a ball. Person 2 is going to block at the net and then turn around to play the short ball of person 1. 10x per person.

• Across and back (2x)
• Sideways to the other side and back (1x)
• Cross pass to the other side and back (1)
• Lift your knees across and back (1x)
• Heels to the other side and back (1x)
• Arm swing forwards, backwards (1x)
• Frog jump to the other side and back (1x)
• Crossing to the other side and back (1x)
• Sideways hop across to the other side and back (1x)

• 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.

• 2 teams,
  • 1 with ball at the net,
  • 1 without ball on the backline flat on belly.
• player at the net bounces the ball, player two catches/OH to the net player.
  • after that change positions

• 2 teams(6,8,10 or 12 players)
• 1 person in the field.
• Other players stand behind the back line in the waiting room.
• T puts ball in play in field A or B.
• You may only play the ball underarm.
• After playing the ball, step out and someone in the waiting room takes your place.
• If you make a mistake, the opponent gets a point.

- 1 defender starts behind the back line
- C plays high ball in the field
- 1 comes in and plays overhead to S
- S set-up to where attacker is standing
- attack straight ahead, attacker gets the ball
- 1 becomes attacker and 2 defender
VARIATION 1: Harder hit ball, with fixed libero in defence.
VARIATION 2: IDEM to 1, but with block after your attack.

3 rounds

• first round = throwing (freeball)
• second round = technical hit (hit freeball) --> short ball can already be a dived ball
• third round = hard hit --> short ball almost impossible to catch

GOAL

Speed, Conditioning, Shuffling, Standing and Passing Exercise

ORGANIZATION

4 players at the net, 2 in the middle of the field. In mirror image 2 in the middle and again 4 on the back line.

EXERCISE

• The two passers move sideways to the centre, touching each other's hand. Pass the ball, kidney after kidney sideways to the outside line and pass again.
• Whoever reaches the 10 first wins.
• It is not about the pass but about the attitude and standing still during the pass.
