Volleyball drills

The purpose of the exercise is twofold: the defender must learn to 'read' where the attacker is going to hit and the attacker must look where the defence is before hitting.

We work with two regular playmakers, on both sides of the field a row of attackers on the left-for position. And two defenders, who may choose where they position themselves on the field. A defender has to defend the attack 10 times, preferably a nice pass, but touching is enough. If the attacker hits the net or leaves the field, that also counts. And the attackers may only smash, no prick balls! After the attack, the attacker retrieves the ball and joins the other row. The attacker who defends the ball at the 10th time takes the place of the defender. The defender will then of course attack.

Necessary:

• 8 - 10 players
• enough balls

If there are less players, the exercise can also be done, but then on one side. The attacker retrieves the ball and joins the same line.

The blocker joins in, indicates where he is going to block and the mid-back goes to his place.

• It is only allowed to play overhand
• Before the ball goes over the net each player must have hit the ball once (so in total the ball is played 3 times).
• A goal can only be scored inside the 3-meter line. If the ball falls outside the field, or behind the 3-meter line, it is a point for the opponent.
• 
  

Nice exercise to learn to place the ball overhead within the 3-meter range and to play your teammates with precision overhead.

The one who makes a mistake is replaced by the reserve.

Three players line up to pass (numbers 3, 4 and 5). Player 2 stands ready at the side of the same court. The other players are ready with ball to serve on the other side.

• Player 1 serves the ball (and then runs straight to where player 2 is already standing).
• A player passes the ball to the server on position 2/3. The server gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net.
• When the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 enters the field (where 3 stood before) 3 goes to mid-back, 4 goes to the spot of 5 and 5 goes the serving spot of the other half.
• Then the next player can serve, on the drawing this is player 8. Etc.

• Passing over the net oh/bh.
• Walk under the net around the pawns.
• Perform defensive actions while walking.

• Start on back line
