Volleyball drills

• Five players at the net with a ball...
• 2 on pos, 2 --- 1 on pos. 3 --- 2 on pos.4
• Rest without the ball on position 5
• Pos. 2 hits the first defender on pos. 5, who runs in for a defensive ball on pos. 6 and with a shuffle to pos.
• 1 to defend a batted ball from pos. 4.
• Pos 2 and 4 take turns hitting.
• Defenders continue to defend.

• In today's exercise, the following techniques will be used: serving, attacking, passing and distributing.
• However, the emphasis is on the pass and the distribution.
• The players have to watch, think well and react adequately during this exercise.

The diagram looks more complicated than the exercise is. The exercise goes as follows (I keep the numbering of the red numbers):

• 1 player 3 serves
• 2a one of the two playmakers runs to the position at the right front (the playmakers take turns)
• 2b one of the two passers (in this case player 2) passes the ball to the right front side
• 2c player 3 (who has just served) runs to the backline of the other half of the game
• 3 the server gives a setup to the player who did NOT pass. A setup to the centre if player 2 has passed and a setup to the outside if player 1 has passed.
• 4+5 the player who did not pass attacks (in this case player 1)
• 6a the attacker retrieves his own batted ball and joins the back of the line of serves.
• 6b the attacker's place is taken by the first player in the row behind the court.

As soon as the ball is struck the next service is executed.

You go in the running pass to the net and back to the back line.

• To the net you swing your left arm forward and back to the baseline your left arm back.
• Now you do the same as step 1 but with your right arm.
• Now you go heel-toe, this means that your heels have to touch your buttocks, you do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands behind against your buttocks. You do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands against the back of your buttocks.
• Now you are going to lift your knee, this is when you lift your knees to 90 degrees, the height of your hips. You do this with a straight back (chest out), towards the net and back to the baseline.
• You are now going to do the sideways pass, this means that you look with your body to one side and move sideways. You do this in the same way as the shuffle. If you go from the net back to the baseline you turn around again.
• Finally you do the cross pass, this means that you look with your body to one side and cross your legs, your arms move with you from left to right.

• You stand about 3 meters from a wall, you do the attack run. (attack pass) Short-long- close pass (brake pass).
• If you get too close to the wall with the brake pass, you have to look at how big your 2 previous passes were.
• With the brake pass/ close pass you make sure your striking hand touches the wall (don't put too much force on it)
• You take your arms with you, so with the short arms to the front, with long arms to the back, with the brake pass bring your arms up.
• Pay attention:
  • Make sure you don't end up too close to the wall.
  • Or that you hit the wall with your face.
  • Also keep an eye on your technique and how your feet end up.

• Split the group into pairs.
• The pairs will work through a number of stations, where different tasks have to be performed.
• Station 1: A slalom through several poles, with an underhand pass at the end of the slalom.
• Move as fast as possible between the poles.
• Station 2: One player lies down on the backline, while the other stands at the net with the ball.
• Player at the net hits the ball.
• Player in the backfield then stands up, and defends a hit ball at 7 meters, or a prik ball at the 3 meter.
• Station 3: Player stands in front of a trampoline, behind player 1 stands a second player with 2 tennis balls.
• One tennis ball is thrown into the trampoline, player 1 catches it before it hits the ground.
• The second tennisball is thrown quickly after it.
• Station 4: Simple, good block jumps, paying attention to the technique.
• Station 5: Reflex training: player stands with arms outstretched, a ball in each hand.
• Player 2 faces the other player, and reacts to the release of one of the balls.
• Do not make the distance between players too great to begin with.
• Each station has a working time of 1 minute.

• 1 player with ball at the net, 2 without ball on the 3 meter line.
• Nets player plays ball BH halfway the field and no.1 shuffles backwards and plays back BH.
• Then no.2. etc.
• Change 3 times after that
• 1 player at the net and 2 on the backline.
• The net player passes to the net player on the 3 metre line. no.1 comes running and passes to the net player and then no.2.

• 1 catcher at the net each side
• 2 passers either side
• 2 or 3 server both ends
• Per group (server-passer-catcher) take turns serving.
• Pass to SV/catcher Ball to OTHER server.

• A serves to B, C and D.
• B, C and D play the ball in 3x over net.

• The coach serves to the 3 passers in the backfield.
• They pass the ball to the receiver (A).
• The passer becomes receiver, receiver puts the ball back in the box and joins the waiting line (B).

• 2 teams.
• Stand next to each other on all fours (rounded back).
• One player crawls under the others with the ball in front of him, at the end he rolls the ball back and stands on his own back.
• Then the next player etc. From sideline to sideline

• 2 opposite each other on the back line of both fields, 1 ball on the middle line.
• On signal of the trainer, sprint to the net, who has the ball first.
• This exercise can also be done with a dive first and then sprinting to the ball.
