Volleyball need to get good quick?

Question

Hi um i need some drills i can do to get better at volleyball. Like dont just tell me what they are tell me what to do

Answer 1

Set baby sets against the wall, maybe a foot away from the wall, as quickly as you can for as long as you can, this helps with setting.

Clap your hands together above your head not directly over your head but so your shoulder (when it's up) brushes the side of your head, extending your arms as much as you can. Where your hands touch is where you should hit and serve from.

To pass well you need a completely flat surface on your arms try to get some one to push on your arms so that they're as flat as possible with out hurting to badly.

Hitting's easy all you have to do is practice your approach. Left foot, right foot, left (jump off your left foot here), jump like your going to hit the ball and say bam or boom and hit the air.

Now pepper. Pass to the wall it should bounce back. Set to the wall and hit to the wall then do it again and try not to let the ball hit the ground at all.

Also volleyball camps, or club volleyball can increase your skills immensely.

Answer 2

Setting - Set against a wall or to a friend.  If you have neither avalible try 4 arm passing it upward then setting it up and passing it to your self over and over again.  

Spikeing - Practice your approach just drill it into your head. Do it over and over again and again.  While your doing your approach take a tennis ball and flick your wrist with it like you were acctually going to spike it.  

Serving- Serve to a wall.  Start 5-10 feet away and just hit drill that ball into the wall.  Then once you get good at the distance take a few steps back and just repeat that.  

Do 100 tosses a day like you were actually going to serve it so when it lands it lands right in front of your front foot.  (If you serve right hand it would be in front of your left foot or the other way around)  It helps so you can know how high or low you need to toss it when your really serving.

4 arm passing -  Bump it to a wall and just hit it back a forth.  If you have someone to help you make it so they through it to you short or long.  It'll help you learn to shuffle quickly.

Hope I helped! =]

Here are some tips, because for drills you need to have good form, form and strength are the most important things in volleyball!!!

TIPS FOR PLAYING SMART VOLLEYBALL

When Passing a ball remember:

Better high than low

Better in than out (of the court)

Better off than on (the net)

Better in front than behind (the player)

Every ball is always "MINE", NOT "Yours"

We NEVER give up a point on a free ball

We ALWAYS keep the ball on our side and aim to pass, set and spike the ball over

ALWAYS pass the ball high enough and with a good arch to give a teammate an opportunity to play it

Use fast feet and slow arms

In defense, READ the hitter's body and arm position and move before the ball is hit

When passing a free ball, have one foot in front of the other, bend your knees and follow through the ball to your target

on Defense, take a pre-hop, get very low with a wide stance, step towards the ball

ATTITUDE

Focus on what you want or want to do, not what you don't want.

Always be positive and supportive and create a positive PICTURE

Never walk on a volleyball court (move quickly all the time)

NEVER let a ball drop without going for it, no matter where it is

PASSING  

Start in ready position ( knees bent, weight over inside toes, low with a wide stance, head up, arms in front of body with bent elbows

Move to the ball don't reach with your arms

Lock your elbows by extending downwards from your wrist

keeping your thumbs together and even

Contact the ball on the top of your forearms, 2-3 inches above your wrist

Follow through with straight arms towards your target

Always pass the ball with a nice high arch to your target

SPIKING

The first two steps of your approach help you adjust and position yourself for your take off

The last two steps for your take off transfer your forward movement to upward

This forward momentum is transferred by planting your heel and then pushing off your toes.

Use both arms to help with your jump; Raise your non-hitting arm high in the air and keep it up until you start your hit

DEFENSE

Don't play hard hit serves or spikes with your fingers

Position yourself on the court so that you never have to back up and that any ball at shoulder level is OUT

The pancake or sprawl defensive technique is a last resort.  Most of the time you can get to the ball by just taking an extra step.

SERVING

Take your time when serving and PICTURE exactly what you want to happen with your serve.

Start with left foot in front and right foot back

Lift and release the ball in front of your hitting shoulder (12 inches above the hand that released the ball)

Contact the ball with a strong hand at the highest point possible with the base of your hand (arm should be extended and locked)

CONDITIONING

To avoid injuries, warm up for 10-15 minutes

Stretch before and after practice

Work on speed and agility (line touches and sprints)

Strengthen your core area as well as your arms and shoulders

Develop power in your legs (jumping and weight training)

NUTRITION

A healthy body,  is a healthy mind, is a healthy player

Drink a lot of water (minimum is 1/2 your body weight in ounces)

Sodas are detrimental to good health and athletic performance

Don't diet!  Fad diets don't work long term.

Eat within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of a workout or tournament

Eat 4 to 6 small meals during the day

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (french fries don't count)

Carbohydrates are good for you if not processed or over refined.

Stay away from sugar

Never miss breakfast, it really is the most important meal of the day.

Don't eat within two hours of bedtime and no sugar, it prevents your growth hormones from releasing

Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night to allow your body to repair.

The hours before midnight are the most important hours of sleep, so get to bed early

For drills, practice hitting a volleyball against the wall, or play with friends.

=D Good luck!!!
