Volleyball drills

  • 3 players at the net with a ball.
  • The rest of the players start at the first post.
  • The first ball is thrown short, second ball long and third ball short.
  • The player passes the ball back and moves sideways to the next one.


Important that players move on the front feet and get ready to pass the ball.

Nice to start the training with. Players with ball throw the ball over the net at the passer. Everyone runs after the ball.

  • Ball handler becomes passer
  • Passer becomes receiver
  • Offender starts throwing
  • If there are more players, have them block on the other side of the net.
  • Trainer brings the ball from the backfield into the centre.
  • The middle player of the trio must set it up directly to one of the other players.
  • Call who you are serving.
  • In this way, the 'non-attacker' can go directly under the net to defend the ball.
  • Once at the other side, a perfect attack is built up and a new trio is ready to defend this attack and turn it into a counter-attack.
  • If you win the rally, the trio counts its point, but the next round starts from the beginning.

--> A pos 4- A -->
attack zone 4-5- V/L -->
defense in zone X


  • extension :
  • MB at post
