Advanced Volleyball Drills - Teaching Volleyball Strategies and Tactics


Learn deeper aspects of volleyball through advanced volleyball drills section. This section provides volleyball practice drills - and focuses on teaching volleyball strategies and volleyball tactics.

In this section the volleyball skills we have learned in basic volleyball drills will be used in complex game-like situations. Another goal is to develop tactical understanding of the game.

Volleyball Coach - Adjusting the drills

Many of these drills require very skilled players. The skill-level of beginner volleyball players may not be high enough.

To help to judge the difficulty of the drill we will scale them – we give 5 stars for the drills that are very complex and require years of training and 1 star if they are considered beginner drills. Naturally other stars have difficulty between those two examples.

Of course it is possible and recommended to adjust the drill to make it suitable for any team – for example with the offense-coverage drill we just posted here, coach can perform as the hitter if the skill levels of the spikers are not at the level needed.

Goal is to make the drill run smoothly, if it doesn’t happen, coach need to be able to modify the drill quickly to meet the purpose of it.

Volleyball Coach - Teaching Volleyball Strategies and Tactics

It is important for coaches to start teaching the game strategies and tactics from the very beginning alongside the skills development.

Planning tactical drills for beginning volleyball players requires lots of creativity from the coach because the player’s skill level may not be high enough for more complex drills.

1 on 1 Games as Beginner Volleyball Drills

As one example in Italy many junior or mini volleyball coaches use 1 vs. 1 (or 2 vs. 2) games with an extremely small court for beginner volleyball players. The court has to be small, therefore the rallies can be long and players get as many touches as possible. The main purpose of these drills is the skill development, but there is also another aspect there.

There is hardly any tactics involved in those games yet, but players learn to play against the opponent, which is the foundation of any tactics or strategy. Tactics or strategies are often build against opponents – trying to figure out which way is the best to beat the opposite team.

Volleyball Coach - Teaching Tactics - Remember "Why?"

When players skill level grow and they are involved in more complex drills, it is very important to explain them why coach asks them to perform certain things on the court – it will help players to gain tactical knowledge of the game. Coach should always be teaching volleyball strategies and tactics to the players.

For example when beginner volleyball players start practice hitting the ball over the net, they should be always taught which directions they should be hitting, where is the best spot for the tip etc. - and more importantly why are they learning those shots.

Just hitting the ball over the net without any suggested direction or without block or defenders is probably not the best way to get players succeed in the match in which they have to face the opponents. And certainly they don't learn anything about the tactics.

Fun Volleyball Drills - Building Teamwork

In the first drills of this section we talk about unnoticed offense strategy, which is an important part of offense in the top level teams. We also cover how to use those fun offense drills to build teamwork and unity.
