Beginner Drills – Introducing Drills for Beginning Volleyball Players
On this page we introduce some unusual volleyball beginner drills – we
call them “juggling”. Juggling is beneficial especially for the
beginning volleyball players since purpose of them is to improve ball
control and hand-eye coordination.
Volleyball
Beginner Drills - Juggling
You can perform these volleyball drills in the beginning of the
practice as warm ups. Or these drills can be done in the back yard,
basement, or even in the living room.
Have you ever paid attention to
kids bouncing basketball on the streets while walking to play hoops?
If
you take a walk to practice or to play volleyball on the beach, you can
perform some of these juggling drills while walking. You can juggle on
the way there – just watch out bicycles and other pedestrians.

Player’s Oath
This oath doesn’t include spoken words – when you are able to do it you
can call yourself a volleyball player :- )
- Player keeps setting “two ball” (about 1 meter
or 3-4 feet set) above his/her head.
- While setting the ball, player keeps bending
knees and getting lower and lower. Player puts her/himself on the
sitting position from which s/he progresses further down until s/he
lays down on his/her back (while setting the ball).
- When lying on the back the volleyball player’s
oath is half way done - next the player needs to raise her/himself up
again (while setting the ball constantly). The player performs sit up
and pulls her/himself to sitting
position. From sitting position s/he pushes up to the standing
position. That last part is the most difficult one.
Volleyball Beginner Drills – Juggling by Setting
Example 1
Player performs
- “two ball”-set
- One-hand set with right hand
- “two ball”-set
- One-hand set with left hand
- “two ball”-set
- And keeps repeating the cycle
Notice: You can add degree of difficulty by
- adding jump sets into the mix
- clapping the hands behind your back
- touching the ground between the sets
- performing 180/360/480 degree turn between
each hit
- replacing one-hand set by one-hand poke (hit
the ball with knuckles)
- while walking to the beach or gym to play
volleyball (watch your bicycles and other pedestrians)
If one-hand set feels difficult - you can set regular
two hand sets above your head and
perform previous extra moves.
Example 2
- Player performs
- “Two ball” or another set and rotates
180/360/480 degrees between each set
Example 3
- Player goes next to net, standing sideways on
the net.
- Sets the ball over the net to another side
- Moves under the net under the ball to set the
ball back over the net
- Moves under the net under the ball to set the
ball to another side again

straight above your face as many time as you can.
Example 5

Example 7

on the ground. Set the ball to the wall. Set the bouncing ball above
your face. Set the ball to the wall. Keep repeating the cycle.
Example 8
Same than before, but without the set over your face.

wall. “Crunch” your upper body up by your abs – your lower
back stays on the ground. Hold your position and keep repeating sets to
the wall.
Example 9
Go to the corner of two walls. Sit down facing the corner. Set the ball
to the wall. Set the bouncing ball to another wall. And again back to
