As talked about in the last posting, using volleyball drills
to warm up for games is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get
your team ready to play the game. If done correctly your team will
already be in the zone for the moves they are about to make for a full
game. Here are some more advanced warm-up volleyball drills to complete
your arsenal for your team.
A
good set of volleyball drills to get your team moving and ready to set
the ball is to divide the team into 2. Have each line stand on opposite
sides of the court. Toss the ball to one side and have the player at the
beginning of the line set the ball to the first player in the other
line, then rotate to the back of the line. The other player then sets
the ball back to the first line, creating a continuous chain of sets
back and forth. This volleyball drill will help your players work on
their setting skills as well as their accuracy.
Using a variation of the volleyball drills discussed before, have the team line up on opposite sides of the court in two lines. For this drill, you will need someone standing in between the lines, but back just a bit to catch the ball. Toss the ball in the air in front of the first player in one of the lines. The first player in both lines will run up about 3 to 4 steps to get in position. The player who receives the toss will dig the ball to the other player, in order to set up the set. The setter should then set the ball back to whoever you have designated to catch the ball. Both players then go to the end of the opposite line from where they started. Volleyball drills such as this will help your team work on speed as well as accuracy.
Remember when looking at using volleyball drills to use as a warm up to include those that will loosen up the muscles and make the players comfortable with the motions they will be using in the game. A great way to combine all of these factors is to line the team up behind the service line. Toss a ball up from the opposite side of the net. The first player in line must run from the back row, jump up to block the ball, and land without touching the net, or allowing the ball to hit the ground. This is one of the advanced volleyball drills, but will definitely put all of the patterns necessary for a good block into play.
The purpose of using volleyball drills to warm up is to allow the players to get their muscles into the rhythm of movement necessary for a full game. They are also to help loosen up your players in order to keep them from cramping up in games from stretched muscles. Using a good set of volleyball drills as a way to warm your team up will result in a team that is ready to play the game, even before they take to the court. They will also help build the confidence needed to play a game against any opponent, since the game ultimately becomes nothing more than a continuation of the warm ups they just completed.
