Volleyball drills

• Make two teams.
• One player of the pair lies on one half, the other on the other half.
• The ball lies under the net, exactly in the middle, in between.
• At the signal of the coach, both players stand up, run to the back line of the field where they are lying.
• Then they run to the ball and pick it up.
• The one who picks up the ball (first), wins a point.

PART A: N3/4: 10 minutes.

• Passes: Row bit at the back of the field. Everyone has a ball, trainer at the net.
• Player throws the ball to the trainer.
• Trainer throws the ball back to the player. WITH A CURVE!
• Player passes the ball to the trainer.
• Trainer throws the ball over the net to the other side.
• Player retrieves the ball and joins the back of the line.

Attention! Meanwhile pay attention to:

• Foot position; one foot in front, not too far apart.
• Play with your legs, not with your arms.
• The ball may not cross the net, so arm position; do not make an angle that is too big.

PART A: N5: 10 minutes.

• Pass exercise.

PART B: N3/4/5: 10 minutes.

• Serve on own level.

• 2 players with backs to each other with ball
• A stands on backline runs to net gets high ball thrown to bra over net.
• Walk backwards around the pawn on the backline and forward again to play the high ball over the net.
• Side pass to side to other half 2 balls.

• You play a normal game, but you add something extra.
• Each team gets one mission to accomplish, if successful the team gets five or three extra points.
• Next, the team picks a new mission.
  • Examples for CMV-teams are playing 3x overhead, making a point in the corner of the court, etc.
  • Examples for youth teams and senior teams are 3x playing with one arm, scoring via the block, etc.

A varied warm-up where 6 benches standing next to each other with each +/-2-3m between them form the basis. See videos for exercises. It is a varied selection of exercises: running, running, jumping and strength exercises with and without a ball. Depending on the target group, you can choose the exercises.

1. 2 players start at the same time. One slaloms around the benches by starting on the right, the other by starting on the left.

• Forward in a run
• Give high-fives every time they cross each other.
• Every time they cross each other jump and hit each other's hands.
• Backwards

2. Same as 1, only it's not a slalom, but you meet in the middle every time.

• Lean on one knee and join hands. Then back again and walk around the bench.

3. 2 players remain simultaneously. Grab bench with two hands. Do legs over the bench three times. Then move to next bench and so on.

4. Same as 3, but they cross each other. Every bench one changes from left to right.

5. You jump as 3, once over the bench. Sit with your back against the bench. Grasp the bench with your arms. Legs stretched. Do 1 push up.

6. Same as 5, but you cross each other. Each bench is alternated between left and right.

Grasp the bench with your hands and your body stretched out. You make 1 push up. And jumps once over the bench.

8. Same as 7, but you cross each other. Each bank switches from left to right.

9. Combination of 6 and 8. Start at the first bench with a push forward, the next bench backward and so on until the last bench. In between they cross.

10. One jumps leg by leg over the benches in a running pace.

11. Same as 10, but they cross each other. Each bench is crossed from left to right.

12. One jumps on the bench. Then from 1 jump spread legs around the bench. You look at each other. Bench up-down-up and through.

13. Same as 12, but they cross each other. Every bench one changes from left to right.

14. Pairs. One player lifts up the bench at the right side. The other player crawls under the bench and grabs the next bench on the left. Now the other player goes under the bench, etc.

Foursomes. In fact the same as 14, only now the bench is grabbed by 2 players on both sides. Then 2 players go under it and hold up the next bench, etc.

• 1 half of the field; 2 or 3 players form a wall in the middle at 7 metres;
  • 4 persons will defend;
  • others take care of balls.
• Starting position of the defenders is mid back line (1 person).
• Trainer throws ball into the field from position 3 (in front of the net). 1st defender dives / passes ball to 2/3
• Immediately after that the next ball is thrown to the next defender.
• High tempo; players should at least try to touch the ball, better is defending & passing to 2/3

• 2 rows of players
  • 1 row on the left back
  • 1 row at the right back
• create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand behind
• trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
• 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orI (let's agree)
• he passes it to the net and the other one catches it.
• 

• Set up basket at height
• Attacking run (short-long-attack) and pay attention to arms waving
• make an offensive jump and try to hit the short with the striking hand.

• Attention:
  • good posture
  • good height
  • arms well up

• Two rows of pawns, about 3 meters between rows, one pawn every 1.5m.
• Total 8 per row. Players divide into 2 groups and 2 rows,
• 1 line at each row of pawns (possibly 2 extra lines if the group is big).

1. Run along the right side of the row, backwards over the left. 3x
2. Lift your knees to the front, calmly run back 2x
3. Heels/buttons out, calmly back, 2x
4. Skater's stride out, slowly back 2x
5. Sideways out, sideways back, keeping face the same direction 2x
6. Cross pass inwards and backwards, keeping face in the same direction 2x
7. 2 pawns in front, 1 back at high speed 2x
8. Sprint from pawn to pawn, circle each pawn in short strides.

Group together, 1 row at the right-hand side of the pawns.

1. Move sideways between the pawns, touching each pawn 2x

• 6 times to the net (forward and backward)
• 2x back and forth knee lifts (left leg up, left arm up etc)
• Heels/Buttocks straight up 2x times
• 2x back and forth sitting low in defensive position
• 2x cross pass back and forth.
• stand on 3 metre line and then go back and forth to the net sideways 5 times
• 5x blocking
• 5x attack
• tap all lines from backline and dive back

Divide the children into 2 groups; 1 counter and 1 person who does the exercise.

• 4 hoops lie in a square.
  • The distance between the hoops is 5 metres.
  • In each hoop there is a ball.
  • The player starts in a corner with a ball in his hands.
• Swap as many balls in a row as possible, putting the ball in the hoop.
  • The player has to look in the same direction.
• Each player has one turn.
• Count the number of ball changes in 45 seconds.

Instructions for the counters

• The balls have to be placed in the hoop.
  • If the ball rolls out, the player must go back and put it back in!
• All four hoops must be completed in order.
  • The player is not allowed to run back and forth between 2 hoops and swap balls!

Objective;

• The teams on the mats must conquer 4 pawns together without being tapped in x number of minutes

Equipment;

• Pairs on the 3 mats (can be extended to 2 pairs)
• 2 cops between the mats and pawns
• 9 Pawns about a field length of the mats.

Explanation of the game;

• The pair on the mat must conquer a pawn, hand in hand or otherwise connected to each other.
• The taggers will try to tag one of the two.
• If one of them gets caught, they have to go back to their mat and try again.
• The first to four cones wins. The team with the fewest pawns is the winner.
• Set a time limit for a number of minutes to keep the game going.
