Volleyball Drills with Coverage
We introduce few ideas how to organize these important volleyball
practice drills about offense. This drill is one of the most
fun
volleyball drills because it focuses on building teamwork.
These volleyball drills are more advanced drills; therefore we
have given it a four star rating out of five, meaning that players need
to have high level of skills being able to execute this drill. However,
like mentioned in advanced volleyball drills opening page; offering
little help for the players, coach is able to modify these drills to
fit any team’s skill level.

Drill Variation 1
Here are few ideas for the volleyball drills to practice the coverage.
The purpose of this drill is to swing the ball to the block to cover it
up. If you don’t fully understand why it would make sense, click here
to get more information about this widely use strategy.
- Drill could be run either zone 4 (outside
hitter,
wing hitter) or zones 2 or 1 (right side hitter or 10 feet right side).
- A setter, hitter and 1-2 players for the
coverage is needed.
- Coach can use some blocking equipment to block
the hitter.
That makes the swinger constantly hit the ball to the blocking
equipment, which they supposed to be practice in this drill.
- Or other way is to put 2-3 players up
blocking by
standing in
a box just keeping their hands in correct position up in the air (we
prefer this live block if there are enough players to make it happen).
- Suggestion: DO NOT make those players
jump to the
block, it
will not be working often enough and it will mess up the purpose of
this drill, which is to practice covering only.
- As
any drill in practice, try to keep this efficient and
organize the same drill going both sides of the net (It will be little
crowded there because the setter will be by the blockers on the boxes,
but it will work out.). If possible use more than one court.
- In the beginning to get the drill more
efficient and get lots
of repetitions to the players you can have only max 3-4 players
(setter, hitter, max 1-2 players to cover) on each group and keep
hitting from the same position.
- Please
notice the
purpose of this drill is to learn the coverage techniques, learn
important strategy and get lot of repetitions to the players – the
purpose is not to serve as a game-like drill, yet.
- Don’t let the hitter get too exhausted, 5-8
swings combined
with approaches are enough to get him/her tired. The hitter should be
changed often.

Drill Variation 2
Please notice this variation is even little bit harder than the first
one.
- When players are ready for a game-like drill,
one
variation would be to do this drill on the left and right side at the
same time.
- In this variation
the setter
has an
opportunity to set the ball either side (outside hitter or right side
hitter, or actually any other position). In that case more blockers on
the boxes are needed and possibly more people on the coverage.
- This second variation is little easier for the
hitters but
requires a lot of movement from the defensive players.
