HOME Volleyball Drills 2 Warm Up

Volleyball: Cones Cross

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

Set up as shown with 5 cones on the court, with one in the middle. The player starts at the centre cone and needs to run to each cone via the centre cone.

COACHING POINTS

As a lot of movement in volleyball defence is lateral, which means players may perform a lot of shuffling during a game.

Running this way you develop agility, speed and orientation.

Circle Passing:

Players get into groups of 5 or more and form a circle, initially working with one ball per group.

The aim of this drill is for players to pass the ball around the circle using bump passes, trying to reach 20 passes without dropping the ball.

2 Warm Up

Dig Up Many Balls:

One player stands on one side of the court, with three on the other who have a few balls each.

They throw balls to difference parts of the court for the player to run and dig.

8 Block Drills

Balance and power:

In pairs with one ball, both players face each other in the squat position.

The players then have to push the ball at head height with two hands. Heels should not stay in contact with the floor.

On the coach's signal the players should start to push harder and jump in squat position with the aim of making their opponent lose balance.

The one to stay balanced three times wins

2 Warm Up

Bump, set, bump, set!:

Working in pairs, one player sets the ball to the their partner who moves to meet the ball using good footwork to bump the ball back to their partner who catches the ball.

Ensure the player bumping the ball lets the ball bounce on their wrists and only makes minor adjustments to give direction to the ball (back to the setter).
