Volleyball training: Preseason thrid week

In this series of articles I try to describe some training techniques that I have used during my years as a trainer of base categories and this last year with the SM2 team of Calasancias Coruña.

These articles are not intended to give the keys to technical gestures or can provide the experience generated by a coach over time. It only tries to give ideas to generate exercises that can be useful for other teams and help them to improve their training.

Warm-up

Joint warm-ups and warm-up exercises are performed with a continuous run, paying attention to the ankles, knees, shoulders and neck. If you have elastic bands, it would also be good to do exercises to strengthen the hands on the shoulders.

Warm up with ball

Players are placed in trios or pairs to make pitches and then touch fingers and arms. In the case of trios it will be done with mobility exchanging positions as shown in the figure.

Technical exercise

This proposal of exercise is with the objective of having continuity and to carry out an exercise of compenetration and technique between all.

The players are arranged as marked in the figure, it begins with an attack in movement 1, then defense and placement to 4, feint and placement to 4 again for shot in the other diagonal, defense, feint and placement to enter from behind that returns to the initial position.

Defense by couples

Players are placed perpendicular to the net in pairs. The player of the net tries that those of the bottom of the field defend looking for the limits in the sides, movements of forward, backward, etc.

Triple block high placement

Players are placed with the libero on 5 and a front wing on each side, 4 and 2. Players enter from 1 and are placed together with the libero to defend a free. In case of defending the player who enters, the libero places a high ball at 2, if defending the free libero, the other player places 4. Then the player who entered replaces the one who attacked at 2 or 4.

In the other field there will be three players in blockade. As it is a predictable and high attack, we will try to reach the triple block in each action. For the other team the objective will be to recover the ball from a reject and rejugarlo.

Reception and K1

Controlled serve on receivers in zone 6 and 5 mainly. After the reception the setter tries first time or second time to the 4 not receiver or to the 6 not receiver.

Add K2

A complete set of equipment is mounted on the serve side. After the serve, an attempt is made to defend and mount a counterattack. An easy ball will also be thrown from the opposite side to do K2 from the serve side.
