Volleyball drills

  • alternately place hats left - right
  • players have to move sideways and forward move 
  • touch every hat
  • return backwards
  • first easily
  • and with relay race


  • fold a newspaper over the net
  • make the paper a little higher than the net, for example by using pegs on the newspaper, leaning on the net
  • players have a point if they hit the newspaper AND serve correctly
  • select by putting the better players on field 1, increasing to field 6
  • first cooperate: who reaches the first 7x in a row (do 2x)

  2. then catch-throw movement, 3x overarm, over the, touch end line
  3. 1-1-move-up-move-down-1


  • now move up-move down 
  • field 1 = winner, field 6 = loser
  • so winner changes with loser on lower field, loser changes with winner on higher field 
  • who is the first to have 3 points
  • without serving (being with catch-throw movements)

this exercise teaches the players to play 'smart'. Just over the net, or in the back in the corners 

explanation is for 6 players

  • line 1 of 3 players with ball behind trainer
  • rij 2 of 2 players to attack at left forward
  • player from line 1 pushes ball in hands trainer, and player immediately walks to reserve position sv
  • Trainer throws ball up to centre forward
  • Play SV from centre forward the ball overarm on right or left forward (as setup)
  • sv walks immediatelyafter playing the ball to the line of attackers
  • there are 5 hoops on the other field
    • 1 in all corners of the field and 1 in the middle of the field
  • player comes in play ball in hoop
  • if this works SV AND PLAYER a point
  • get own ball, join line servers
  • in this exercise it is important to immediately walk on after  the action
  • play-overarm-in-hoops
  • Is allowed 3x for yourself
  • No bonus points for 3x playing
  • serve normally
  • half field
  • antenna in middle of the net
  • end line at around 3 m
  • this exercise teaches them to:
    • play smart, short, etc
    • properly assess in and out
    • on responsibility!
  • Go forward immediately after serving, otherwise the ball will be on the ground right over the net
  • train forward to move backwards, and immediately position after playing! Emphasize this
  • Divide the group in two
  • We use two halve fields per group.
  • Everybody gets a peg on his knee protector.
  • The idea is to collect as many pegs as possible by taking them from someone else.
  • The exercise is intended to sit low, which on the front feet, improve feet work, and get warm.
  • Both players have a ball
  • Start the exercise easy, build up according to level
  • 1 of 2 is the boss (change after a while)
  • the boss decides how he throws the ball to the other
  • with a bounce, the follower throws a breast ball
  • the boss throws a breast ball, the follower throws a bounce
  • make more difficult:
  • boss throws ball in high arch, follower first throws his own ball up high, catches ball boss, then catches own ball
  • puts ball on the ground, follower puts ball on the ground, and both run to each others ball, and boss quickly decides something
  • the idea is to make it hard for each other
  • Player stands with bucket above head at the net
    • You can move a little, but not bend over!
    • Player with bucket remains for 1 round
  • Trainer is on the end line/or in the middle of the field with 2 lines players:
    • 3 players with ball (with trainer)
    • 3 without ball (on the end line)
    • Player with ball pushes ball in hands trainer
  • Trainer randomly throws ball in field and player dunks ball in bucket
    • in the bucket is a point
    • player takes his own ball and joins line with ball
    • walk back around
  • Make increasingly difficult!
