Volleyball drills for technique warming-up

3 rounds

• first round = throwing (freeball)
• second round = technical hit (hit freeball) --> short ball can already be a dived ball
• third round = hard hit --> short ball almost impossible to catch

• Make threes
• Each trio one ball.
• Player in the middle runs an 8 each time. Each time this player gets in the middle, a ball is thrown:
  • A throws (or plays overhand) the ball to B (in the middle).
  • B plays the ball back to A underhand and then runs around A until he is in the middle again.
  • A meanwhile passes the ball overhead to C.
  • C plays the ball overhand back to B.
  • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
  • Etc.
• After 2-3 minutes, the player in the middle changes.

Variation:

• To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
• To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.

• 2 rows:
• first players ready to play ball (no ball in hands)
• Other players with ball
• 2nd player throws the ball into the field and player 1:
  • Runs towards the ball, 1x OH and then catch
  • Runs towards the ball, 1x BH and then catch
  • Runs for the ball, 1x OH, 1x BH and then catch
• Connect with ball in the back of the line
• High tempo and adapt to the player.

• Three players on the back line.
• At about one meter from the sidelines you put a pylon.
• The other players stand around the field to pick up the balls.
• The trainer at the net throws the balls into the field at a high speed.
• It is up to the players to pass the balls back to the trainer, or at least to hit the ball.
• Then the players join in again at the back, and so they keep running and looking at the ball.
• The remaining players stand around the field to collect the balls played away and pass them back to the trainer.
• Expansion:
• Pawns further apart, throwing faster, hitting.

• 2 teams(6,8,10 or 12 players)
• 1 person in the field.
• Other players stand behind the back line in the waiting room.
• T puts ball in play in field A or B.
• You may only play the ball underarm.
• After playing the ball step out and someone in the waiting room takes your place.
• If you make a mistake, make sure you have the ball safe and go and cheer on your teammates.
• If everyone on a team has played away then you have a point.

You form groups of 4.

• You divide the group in 2 and you put them opposite each other at the net.
• They spar with each other after each action the player walks to the back line and taps the line.
• Tapping the line you can exchange with a dive, height jump ...

• 2 opposite each other, bend their knees in the sitting position and come up and kick forward with the left and right leg alternately.
