Volleyball drills

• This exercise is designed to improve the touch of the young players in a playful and competitive way.
• Make teams of 2 and they will stand on opposite sides of the net.
• The first person starts to key the other when the ball arrives at the other, they should scoop the ball out of the air twice and key it back.
• We do this in competition form to 10 points, the person who first has 10 points has won.

• 2 players with the ball at one side of the net on the 3 meter line, throw the ball in turn
• 1 player on the opposite side on the 3 meter line, this player makes the action
  • walks to the net and plays the ball oh high to the player from whom the ball came
  • runs backwards to the 3 metre line
  • sessions of 10 movements and change

• per 3, 1 ball
• 2 cones per trio on the width of the volleyball field.
• player a runs in throws the ball high, player b runs in catches underhand and throws the ball high again, player c runs in and catches the ball underhand
• adjust to bra, reception or combinations of

• Player A starts from a sitting position on a chair, slightly bent over.
• Player B throws the ball low.
• This is played back to A from the chair so shoulders are already forward and low.
• After the first ball turn around and sit on the chair just behind it, idem with player C who also throws a ball low.

• 4 Swedish benches are placed in a square.
• A maximum of balls are placed in the square.
• 2 or 3 players stand in the square and try to throw as many balls as possible out of the square during one minute.
• The other players of the team run after the balls and throw them back into the square.
• After one minute the team checks how many balls are still in the square.

This is always fun to do, especially the smaller kids like it.

• You have a monkey= This person is appointed by the trainer. This person must try to steal the coconut without getting caught.
• You have a coconut= This is basically just the volleyball, or another ball.
• You have a monkey hunter= This person is also assigned by the trainer, but the monkey hunter is ''undercover'', so he is just a palm tree but if the monkey has the ball in his hand, he may tap the monkey.
• And finally you have the Palm Trees= These are all the other players who are not the monkey or the monkey hunter.

You put all the players in a circle on one side of the field, in the middle of this circle you put the ''coconut''.

The trainer chooses the monkey in the presence of the whole team. The monkey then moves towards a wall or stands somewhere with its eyes and ears closed, facing the other way so it cannot see the team. You then say "The monkey hunter is....." (you point out the child, do not say the name of the child). If everyone knows who the monkey hunter is you say that the monkey can come back. The space between the palm trees where the monkey goes in the beginning, he must go back again.

For example, if the monkey goes between John and Peter in the direction of the coconut, it cannot go back between Hans and John.

If the monkey takes the coconut outside the circle without being tapped, the monkey wins.

If the monkey is tapped before it leaves the circle with the coconut, the monkey hunter has won.

• The blue balls are the "palm trees" players.
• The red dot is the ''monkey hunter''. The monkey does not know who the monkey hunter is. The monkey hunter is trying to tap the monkey.
• The white ball is the ''monkey''. He is trying to get the coconut without being tapped.
• The yellow ball is the coconut.

Divide the players into 2 teams. Each team stands on one side of the net.

• On each side of the net there are a number of balls (depending on the size of the group you can add or subtract balls).
• The idea is that the players, once the starting signal is given, throw as many balls as possible to the other side.
• The team that has the most balls on its side of the net at the end of the game has lost.
• Each player may only play one ball at a time to the other side!

Variations for playing over/under the net:

• Roll with 2 arms
• Roll with 1 arm
• Overhead throw with 2 arms
• Overhead throw with stroke arm
• Overhand throw with non batting arm
• Bounce with 2 arms in front of the net so that the ball flies over the net after the bounce
• Bounce under the net (2 arms, later 1 arm, batting arm)

Because the balloons move more slowly and feel softer, they are ideal for practice.

First 1 child with 1 balloon:

• Keep the balloon in the air.
• Punch up as low as possible.
• Hit as hard as possible.
• Hit over the net, child underneath, and continue on the other side.
• etc etc.

Then 2 teams with 1 balloon:

• Basically the same tasks as with 1 child, but now they have to take turns hitting the balloon.
• So the children have to work together and see how they can make it easier for each other.

1 balloon each:

• Now you can also practice the service and pass.
• The balloon is not as hard as a ball and the children have time to stand up properly before the balloon comes down again.

Dribble:

• first good hand
• other hand
• in turn
• take high
• take low
• walk dribble
• go under your leg

• 4 in attack with playmaker.
• Other side, 1 on reserve out of the field (right at position 1,2) and 3 in the pass and a dropout.
• The rest with ball on position 2 at the side of the attackers.
• These throw the ball to attacker who then pass the ball to SV and get a setup back.
• Attacking 3 defenders who pass to the offender.
• Reserve enters the field and the passers rotate.
• Last passer becomes receiver and receiver goes to line with ball.

• Running back line net 3x

• The front player runs from the moment the ball is rolled.
  • variation by means of another way of standing or holding for the front player.
