Volleyball drills

Make 3 or 4 teams (depends on the amount of players).
1 player on 7mtr line and 2 at the net.

  • Left front plays the ball overhand to player 2 (7mtr).
  • Player 2 plays the ball underarm to player 3 (net)
  • Player 3 plays the ball overhand again to player 1.

If the exercise is running player 1 can hit the ball overhand (quietly).overhand-underhand-game-like

  • 3 times to the net (forward and backward)
  • 3 times to the net, behind 3 metres, to the net and sprint back
  • 2 x back and forth knee lifts (left leg up, left arm up etc)
  • Heels/Buttocks upper body straight 2x back and forth
  • 2x back and forth sitting low in defensive stance sideways
  • 3x standing fast footwork 9 meters, then sprint to 3 meters
  • 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.

The purpose of the core is that the players can play the ball overhead.

  • The players stand in pairs facing each other and play overhead.
  • Hands well above the head, from the legs, stretch the body and point to the ball
  • The players stand further and further apart.


  • Then we form two rows diagonally across the field and we play BH, chase your ball

  • Place a mat at random in each field.
  • On 2 sides stand a group to serve.
  • Serve on the mat.
  • Then run after your ball and join the line on the other side.
  • Who hit the mat the most?
  • Players should try to stand as close to the back line as possible, but if they can't they can move closer to the net.

Pay attention in the exercises:

  • Pass must come high so player can catch the ball 'overhand'.
  • Pass to the right, right foot forward
  • Pass to the left, left foot forward
  • Eyes" of the shoulders in the direction of play

The exercise:

  • 3 pairs with 1 ball.
  • 1 and 2 stand next to each other, not too close to the net.
  • 3 faces 1 in the back of the court.
  • 1 throws straight at 3 and 3 tests diagonally to 2.
  • 2 catches and then throws straight to 3 and 3 keys diagonally to 1.
  • So 3 moves around all the time.

  • 2 teams of 4 with a net in between.
  • Trainer brings in the ball and plays 3 times over.
  • If the ball lands on the ground, I play another ball. If that team has won, they go to the other side and stand on the ground.
  • After 10 / 15 points it's over (points determine themselves).
