Volleyball drills

  • Team set-up
  • Coach serves ball.
  • Team defends, sets up and attacks.
  • Then the trainer throws another ball into the field.
  • Players must be ready quickly

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.


pass-and-playThe 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 1 has passed and a setup to the outside if player 2 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 place where the attacker stood is taken by the first player in the row behind the court.

As soon as the ball is hit the next service is played.


Requirements

  • A minimum of 9 players;
  • pair of balls;


service-estafette-17This exercise is fun to do and gives a lot of fun and competition! Relays in general already create competition.

What this exercise also wants to mimic is the stress factor that a serve brings.


The players are divided into equal teams and lined up on the serving area of the same court. The first player of a team serves and retrieves his ball. After the next player is tapped, this one serves, and so on.


It is important for a player to serve quickly, but it must also be flawless, otherwise the ball must be retrieved and served again!


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


pass-circuit-2Round 1: Normal passing to each other.

attack-on-positions-3-and-4


Team A serves the ball to 1 of the players of team B.

Team B passes and attacks using a 3 meter attack.

If there is no attack, 2 hands must be played over the net in the direction of the shoulders. This is to keep the rally going.
