Volleyball drills for technique warming-up

• Throw up the ball in front of you and catch it behind you
• Variations:
  • Throw up, step out with the right, left knee on the ground and catch just in front of you
  • And step out with the left, right knee on the ground and catch

pairs

• players stand opposite each other about 2-6 meter apart (players determine the distance)
• player 2 hits the ball to player 1
• player 1 passes the ball back
• player 2 gives a set up to player 1
• player 1 hits the ball
• player 2 passes the ball back
• player 1 gives set up
• etc

Aim: Players Setup from 1st time + targeted attack. 

• T plays ball high over the net in the attack zone. 
• Sv enters from pos.1 and sets up for -or backwards. 
• A attacks on the mat/goal. 

Expand : Block, middle attack, ... 

Goal : develop game insight for attack

• A1 plays the ball to SV. 
• Sv set-up to pos.4 where A attacks. 
• At the moment A attacks, A1 plays a second ball to SV. 
• B & B1 take care of the block. (B1 always starts from pos.3), L defense. 
• Second attack of A. place ball. L stands on a mat. Where L is not standing should be played to. 

We try to grow into a match form. Block gets points when attack can be stopped. Attack when scored or ball on the mat. Defender when defended. 

Stand opposite each other in pairs:

• 1 person has 2 tennis balls, the other 2 volleyballs.
• The person with the volleyballs throws one ball high to the other person, to 1 of his 2 hands.
•  That person has to throw the tennis ball in that hand low back to the other person
• Always the same person who performs the first action

Stand opposite to each other in pairs:

• 1 person has a tennis ball, the other a volleyball
• Volleyball is replayed in 2 contact, high or low
• The tennis ball is then replayed in 1 contact, low if the volleyball comes high, high if the volleyball comes low

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Variation on previous exercise
• If the volleyball is played high, it must be replayed directly in 1 contact (tennis ball is played low at the same time).
•  If the volleyball is played low, it will be replayed in 2 contacts

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Play ball as long as possible towards each other with only the arms.

Directions for post holders

1. Play up at least 3x per box: otherwise you cannot proceed to the next box
2. The turn is over, when:
   1. the ball drops on the ground
   2. the player has both feet outside the box (1 foot outside the box is allowed!).
   3. the ball is not played high enough above the head (pay close attention!)
3. Play at least 50 cm above the head.
4. Every new turn start in the first box.
5. The lines are part of the box (with regard to foot fouls outside the boxes).

Divide children in pairs; 1 counter and 1 performing the exercise

• 4 hoops are in a square. The distance between the hoops is 5 meters. In every hoop is a ball. The player starts in a corner with a ball.
• Change as many balls as possible, in which the ball has to be put in the hoop. The player has to look the same direction the entire time. 
• Every player has 1 turn.
• Count the number of ball changes in 45 seconds.

Directions for the counters

• The balls have to be put in the hoops. If the ball rolls out, the player has to go back to put the ball back in the hoop!
• All four hoops have to be processed in order. The player is not allowed to run between 2 hoops and change the balls!

Goal;

The teams on the mats have to conquer 4 cones without being tagged in x number of minutes

Requirements;

- Pairs on the 3 mats (to be expanded to 2 pairs)
- 2 taggers between mats and cones
- 9 cones around a field's length from the mats.

Game explanation;

The pair on the mat has conquer a mat hand in hand or otherwise connected.
The taggers are going to try to tag the pair.
If one of the pair is tagged, they have to go back to their mat and try again.
The first at the four cones has one. The team with the least cones are going to be the taggers.
Set a time limit for an x number of minutes to keep the flow in the game.

• The first makes a jump service (without ball), then runs diagonally to the net (position 4).
