Volleyball drills

Warming up with ball

Moving sideways

Warm up for the school.

One scapegoat is appointed, this scapegoat must try to catch the other players within the yellow lines.

• Has the ticker ticked 3 players? Next ticker!
• The whole volleyball field is the playing field.
• In the middle of the field the net hangs about 40 cm above the ground (do not tighten the bottom line for safety reasons).
• The players and tickers can dive under the net to get to the other side of the court.

• There are three mats each in a corner of the field (half a hall is sufficient).
• There are two tickers. The rest stand on one of the mats.
• The taggers try to tag the other players.
• The players try to run from mat to mat as often as possible. Each time they succeed in doing so, they get 1 point.
• If a player is tagged, the counter goes to 0 and he has to knock over a pawn.
• If 5 pawns are knocked down, the ticker is changed. This can also be done after 1-2 minutes instead of knocking over pawns.
• Which player got the most points?

Variation:

• Instead of changing pawns after 5 pawns, you can also change the time. For example, after 1-2 minutes you can change the catchers.
• Instead of every mat being 1 point, you can also practise counting: every mat is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 points. Of course depending on the age.
• You can also adjust the number of tickers (more or less).

Apart from technique, communication is important in volleyball. And both aspects also apply to this exercise. And reacting adequately to situations that go differently than normal. In this kind of exercise you can see very well how different players are.

• We start with 5 minutes of serving for everyone.
• Then this exercise begins

• 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 the ball to serve on the other side.
  • Player 1 serves the ball (and then immediately runs to where player 2 is already standing)
  • A player passes the ball. Another player gives a setup. And the third player plays the ball over the net. All three players must play the ball, either a pass, or a setup, or an attack.
  • Once the ball is over the net, the players turn: 2 goes into the court (where 3 was first) 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.

Playing in pairs fanatically.

Block defend with dive

• 1 blocks first at the centre and then at the left front.

• after the block, turns around and defends back the attack of 3.

• then defends (in dive) short ball from 5

• 2 is next

• Turn over: 1 to short ball, 3 to blocking, 5 to attack

The warm-up

• The students stand in the field in a semi-circle.
• The pupils throw the ball to each other.
• The ball is always thrown to a different person, so not to the same person as who gave it to him/her.
• When a boy has dropped the ball on the ground, all boys have to run a circle.
• When the girls have thrown the ball on the ground then all girls have to run a circle.
  
  
• As a variation, you can throw in more balls so that the game goes faster and they have to run more often.

You can also give the students numbers 1, 2,. When someone from 1 drops the ball, group 1 runs a circle. When someone from group 2 drops the ball group 2 runs.

Playing in pairs fanatically.

Block defend with dive

• 1 blocks first at the centre and then at the left front.

• after the block, turns around and defends back the attack of 3.

• then defends (in dive) short ball from 5

• 2 is next

• Turn over:

  • 1 to short ball

  • 3 to blocking

  • 5 to attack

I play the ball in from the opposite field, 2 players come running in, pass the other catches, and the next 2.

• Trainer plays high ball in the back
• ! gives high ball to 2
• 2 gives set up to 1
• 1 hits diagonally
• 3 and 4 etc.

• All children stand in a defined field.
• Two taggers stand outside the field with one ball.
• The taggers must try to catch the children in the field with the ball.
• => if tapped: join the catcher

1 sv stands on sv place in the field with the trainer and the other sv stands rv on the field with the rest of the players.

Accent is set up, block on outside and play smart.

If big team does a good attack then they get a point. If the ball falls on the ground or doesn't come over the net the other two players get two points. When BH is over the net each player gets 1 point. Coach throws the ball over the net 6 times (so you can get 12 points). After that change positions.

Coach plays high ball in the back.
