Volleyball Practice Drills
Volleyball practice drills give athletes a chance to practice the skills the coach teaches during regular practice. These drills should become a staple part of every practice and should teach athletes how to incorporate the new skills they learn into a competition setting.
Types of Volleyball Practice Drills
Coaches should strive to include volleyball practice drills that focus on different aspects of the game of volleyball. Drill sets can include footwork, passing, hitting, jumping, and blocking, for example. This is just an example to show that drills should be categorized broadly, allowing coaches to pick and choose which specific drills within a category will be most useful during a particular practice.
Three and Shoot
This footwork drill forces athletes to make use of their steps by only allowing an attacker three steps to get set up for a hit. The drill starts with two players just inside the lines on the same side of the court. The Tosser puts the ball in motion by throwing it up and toward the center. The Attacker has three steps to get in place to hit the ball. There should be someone on the other side to catch the balls as the Attacker hits them.
This drill can be done in a sequence, with different Attackers coming in when the Tosser starts the drill. Eventually, the Tosser can be changed out to become an Attacker.
Popcorn Pass
Athletes should have a partner for this fun volleyball drill and stand about 10 feet apart. The point of this drill is to teach athletes to let go of the ball as soon as they touch it instead of absorbing it into their hands and killing the momentum. Athletes should act like the ball is a hot kernel of corn ready to pop.
Just as popcorn explodes spontaneously, athletes should focus on exploding the ball from their hands as soon as they receive it. Athletes can choose different types of passing for this drill, depending on their needs.
Spike Fake
Athletes should line up on the 10-foot line and prepare for a spike when the coach blows the whistle. Athletes will take two or three steps forward and go through the motions of the spike as if they were in a competition. At the beginning of this drill, athletes should be faking a spike—they will not actually have a ball in their hands. As the athletes progress and their form becomes more advanced, athletes can have a partner that sets them up for the spike.
Jump Spot
Coaches should determine the desired height of each athlete’s vertical jump and denote that on a wall. Each athlete stands in front of their goal and pushes off, jumping with both feet. As soon as they hit the ground, they should take off again, until they miss the target three times in a row. This drill is extremely taxing on athletes and should be used in moderation.
Cement Block
To teach athletes to bring their arms down after blocking without hitting the net, they should stand in front of a wall with a target marked. They should jump up, touch the target on the wall, and land, still in the blocking position. If athletes treat the net like the cement wall in their drill, they will keep their elbows from hitting it.
This drill can be combined with the Jump Spot drill to practice both the vertical jump and proper blocking technique.
