Volleyball drills

  • All players have a ball.
  • Divide the group into two - maximum 4 to 5 players per group.
  • Near the net is the ball pit.
Exercise per group:

  • Play up overhead in front of yourself and keep playing.
  • Slowly move towards the net, keep playing up.
  • Overhand: Play up high, quickly get under the ball, stand still and then play.
  • At the net: => play the ball IN the ball pit. The distance does not matter.
  • Ball on the ground => start again from the back line.
Same exercise can be done with underhand play up to the net + play IN the ball box.

For the better players there can be a third round:

  • Ball bin on the back line of the other field, players must now pass the net. Play over it, themselves under it. Underhand or overhead no longer matters, as long as the back line is crossed.
Organization:
  • Make triplets with 1 ball.
  • Playmaker to the right of the ball
Execution:
  • Play ball to playmaker
  • The dealer passes the ball overhand to the other player.
  • This passes the ball overhand or underhand back to the playmaker and receives another setup.
  • It is then played to the 1st player, who passes again to the playmaker who has meanwhile run to the opposite side.
drawing overhand for playmakers
Practice on defense, technical attack and drop balls.

  • Practice defensive techniques.
  • Improve technical attack techniques.
  • Practice with drop balls.
  • 1 side with block.
drawing Attacking exercise with 1-man block
  • The attacker puts a block.
  • The thrower hits over this.
  • The libero or passer passes the ball to the server.
  • The server passes the ball to the attacker who just blocked.
  • The thrower puts a block and the attacker hits straight through to the defender, who defends for himself.
  • Passing: passer becomes attacker -> attacker becomes backup defender -> defender becomes backup thrower -> thrower becomes backup passer.
drawing Attack variation
  • 2 servers
  • 1 passer
  • 1 catcher

  • Thick mat obstructs passer's view, requiring passer to focus on ball trajectory.
  • Passer passes to catcher who rolls on to serveers.
  • Roll through after 10 balls
drawing Fitting without sight
  • 3 players in the middle play overhand for themselves.
  • 2 players outside also play overhand for themselves.
  • The outside players run around it.
  • And pass in between.
drawing Carousel
  • Two balls at once
  • Players at position 5 and 1 on two sides of the field, also 2 playmakers.
  • Ball from position 5 to server to position 1, to position 5 other side and so on.
  • Players run after their ball, except for the playmakers.
drawing Input and playmaker
Storage practice with reaction.
drawing Storage
  • 2 agility exercises
  • 2 reaction exercises
  • 1.5 minutes per round
drawing Circuit
  • Divide group into triplets.
  • Form of play is 2 against 2 on a half court.
  • Goal: move and communicate in backfield.
    • Do not want to score, but keep the ball in play, play "on" the person and make long rallies.
    • Hit the 3rd ball as much as possible. Play overhand to keep the rally going.
  • Starting position:
    • 2 players in the court, 1 on the back line "waiting room" on both sides.
  • Ball is brought in from 2-3 meters with toss and attacking stroke=> back 5-7 meter position.
  • Passer becomes attacker. so after pass immediately to 3 meters and then attack.
  • After attack immediately out and to waiting room.
  • Non-passer goes forward immediately and becomes Setter then back to 5-7m position.
  • "Waiting room" supplies new passer.
drawing Two-Two - Moving
  • Divide the group into two teams.
  • Everyone has a ball.
  • 2 Pawns in the center of each court as a starting position.
  • Trainer makes choice in which part of the field to serve: left or right, short or deep.
Game:
  • Serving from two sides.
  • Chasing your ball and moving pawn.
  • Rejoin your own team.
Pawn movement:
  • If the server serves in the right part => the pawn moves to where the ball hit the ground. You make the goal area smaller.
  • If the server does not serve in the correct part => then the pawn moves 1 meter towards the center of the field. Target area bigger.
  • Exercise on time => for example 5 minutes.
  • Team that has the smallest goal area after 5 min wins!
Then again with other part of the field.

drawing Serve focused - game 2
  • Conditioning with ball at high intensity
  • Everyone does each exercise once
  • If there are 7 people, 1 group has a rest
