Volleyball
Drills Advanced - Scale from 5 to 1
Many of these advanced drills
require very skilled players. The skill-level
of beginner volleyball players may not be high enough for these drills.
Scale: 5 stars - complex drill, 1 star - easy drill
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.

Drills Advanced - Volleyball Coach and Adjusting the Drills
Adjust the Drill - to Fit for the Level of the
Players
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 in this section, the coach should take the ball feeding
duties
and act as a hitter, if the skill levels
of the spikers are not at the required level.
Prepare for the Adjustments
The goal is to make the drill run smoothly, if it doesn’t happen,
the coach
needs to be able to modify the drill quickly to meet the purpose of it.

Drills Advanced - 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. As mentioned already, if the
drill is not working well, the coach needs to make a quick change to
make it work.
A fun way to teach the game for the beginning volleyball
players is to play mini-games. However, these fun
volleyball drills are suitable for players of all ages. Who
wouldn't like to play games?

Mini Games
As one
example many
junior or mini volleyball coaches in the leading volleyball nations use
1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, or 3
vs. 3 games with
an extremely small court for the beginnning volleyball players.
Volleyball Games - Mini-Games for Skills
Development
The court has
to be small. It makes the rallies longer and players get as
many contacts as possible. The main purpose of these drills is the
skill
development, but there is also another aspect there.
Volleyball Games - Mini-Games and Learning to
Play Against the Opponent
There is hardly any tactics
involved in the
mini-games yet, but players learn to play against the opponent, i.e.
when practicing hitting, it is important that players are hitting
against a block - only that will prepare hitters to face the block in
the match.
Example
of 1 on 1 Mini-Game - Volleyball Passing Tennis
- Each team has one player only.
- Each team has only one contact to deliver the
ball to the other side.
- The court could as small as 10 by 10 feet (3 by
3 meters) - it depends on the skill level. It is important to
keep the court so small the ball keeps flying. Players
shouldn't be able to win a rally very easily.
- The players should focus on the
- footwork (no crossing over, players shuffle)
and
- contacting the ball with various techniques -
not only in front of the
hips, but on the sides also. If the court is made a little bit longer,
it gives the coach a good opportunity to work on the three point serve
receive (the other knee on the ground).
Volleyball
Drills Advanced - Run Game-like Drills
As soon as the basic skills have been introduced and the players skills
allow, the coach should run the drills in the game context.
These mini-games are an excellent way to start game-like drills.

Coach: Remember "Why?"
When
players skill level grow and they are involved in more complex
drills, it is very important to explain them why
the 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 when running drills.
Good - Explaining Volleyball Tactics and
Teaching
"Why"
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.
Bad - No Goals, No Targets in Volleyball Drills - i.e Swings at the Net
without a
Block
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 the players don't learn anything about the
tactics.
Volleyball
Drills Advanced - How to Form a Volleyball Tactic for the Team?
When the coach prepares a team for the game, s/he uses two methods to
form the tactic. Or the combination of the two methods.
A tactic is often
build against the opponent – the coach has
been trying to figure out which way is the best to
beat the opponent.
The other method is to build the tactic on the strengths and weaknesses
of the own team.
