Volleyball drills

PURPOSE

Improve fitness and strength + warm up

ORGANIZATION

To crack a code by carrying out various tasks

IMPLEMENTATION

You can play this game with any 4 exercises you can think of.

1. Divide the group into two or three. These are the teams that will do the assignments.
2. The trainer makes a code of ten digits e.g. (24 32 14 21 33)
3. The players will do the exercises in a particular order. For example; they think the first digit is 3, so they will do exercises 3. When they have done them, they will go to the trainer and he will say whether the number is right or wrong. If the number is right, they try to guess the next number. If the number is wrong they have to do another exercise, for example exercise four, to guess the correct number.

Set 1;
Exercise 1: Push-ups 5 timesExercise
2: Sprint the distance between the back line and the middle line three timesExercise
3: Spiderman from the net to the back line and backExercise
4: Ten sit ups

Set 2
;Exercise 1: WheelbarrowExercise
2: TiggerExercise
3: Hand walkExercise
4: 15 count slice

The pair that cracks the code first wins.

The players are divided into equal teams and lined up on the serving area of the same half of the game, with each team having a passer and a catcher on the opposite side.

• The first player of a team serves.
• After passing and catching, catcher throws the ball to the next server (or becomes a server himself).
• Catch joins server, passer becomes catcher
• etc

• If emphasis is on service: wrong serve means again.
• If emphasis is on passing: wrong pass means stay put (again).

If the teams are small, it is nice to have everyone serve two or three times.

• Minimum of 6 players
• As many balls as there are teams

• 6 times to the net (forward and backward)
• 2x back and forth knee lifts (left leg up, left arm up etc)

• Players get 5 points.
• Each service into the net subtracts one point.
• Each service on the mat scores 1 point.
• Each service on the ball pyramid (3 balls against each other and one on top) adds 3 points.
• The first player to reach 10 points wins. If you have 0 points you are out and you have to pass on balls.
• It is important to concentrate on the service and take your time.

VARIATION

• Put two a players between the back mat, they may pass all balls that come next to the mat.
• Pass these balls into the hands of the Trainer. (Passers get one point and the server one point deduction.
• Who is first to reach the 10, the passers or the servers!

• Here they have to play over the net in 3 plays, also within the 3 meters.
• When you have hit a ball, tap the back line.
