What are some good individual volleyball drills that can be done every day to help improve skills?

Answer 1

exercises for serving: life weights u need good upper body strength for anything in volleyball

through the ball with one hand over the net starting at the ten footline and move a step backward every time u make it\

exercises 4 setting

u need to have strong legs i now tht sounds weird because u use ur hands to set but to get power to set 2's u need ur legs

so i would suggest doingleglifts or stepups

exercises for hitting

weights u need strong arms

a good way to get ur approach down is to through ur own ball wen u hit becaus etiming is one of the hardest parts

bumping

try bumping the ball against the walland with a partner try to get to 100 or through the abcs

coachs also look for spirit a team a team needs motiviation to help winn the game

so

cheer on ur team mates even wen they mess up

hope i helped =D

Answer 2

You can purchase a cheap practice volleyball which is excellent for outdoor

practice.  Cheap because the outside skin has to be able to stand up to

the wear and tear of using it against outside walls, like brick or concrete.

Never use an expensive indoor volleyball for practice outside against hard

surfaces.

For the single player - what you can practice is - to throw up the volleyball,

like it is for a 'set' and to go ahead and spike it - against a wall, so that

the angle and height you hit it, is like it is on a volleyball court.

A beginner is not confident about their spiking and timing - and so a lot of

practice against a wall, will drill you into doing excellent spikes naturally.

Use a bent elbow, which straightens for your spike - adding the curling of

your wrist upon contact with the volleyball, this is for adding spin.

You can see the spin working, when you do a spike serve (just hold the volleyball

above your head, and then spike/hit like your normal spike.  You do not need to

throw the volleyball up - for a spike serve) at the top of the net, and you

should then see that the volleyball will roll over the net, showing that your

spinning is working.

The spin helps to bring the volleyball down, so that it will always land

in court, and also go over any blockers or even the net, if it is in the way.

You can practice the 'set' technique by yourself - by setting against a wall -

this can be inside or outside, just straight up - above your head.  This is

so to practice the fingering technique that is used.

You cannot practice digs (also called bumps) by yourself.  You really need

someone - either to throw the volleyball to you, and you bump it back to them,

and they can catch it - or just someone to dig with..

If you can practice with another volleyball player - that would be great.

You can then dig, set and spike at each other. The more players you have

practising the more fun it is.  Your ball handling skills will increase in

no time with regular practice - you will feel at ease when you can dig, set

and spike at each other - you don't need a net.  You'll soon develop your own

techniques for those balls which need to be saved - that falls between players.

The more practice you have - the more confident you will be.  Over any holiday

period, if you can practice with fellow volleyball players - you should find

that your skills can grow and grow.

Note - the air pressure you should have for any volleyball - is for it to be 'soft'.  This means being able to press your thumbs easily say - 1/8th of inch into the volleyball.  I find too often that teams have their volleyball rock hard - this is wrong.  The ball should take the full impact and not your body or your bones.  Accidents happen in volleyball - so you cannot ensure you will 100% proper contact with the volleyball in the correct places on your body or your hands.  Meaning when you get a knuckle or bone contact - if your volleyball is rock hard - guess what happens?

Answer 3

Spiking

To work on your spikes, try to like hang a sock or something from like a tree you cant reach yet.  Then just keep trying to spike that and once ur able to move it up a branch.  This really works.  

Setting

Take your volleyball and just set it in the air over and over.

Bumping,

Try bumping with like a balloon or something really soft, then go to the volleyball and make sure u hit it high in the air!

Answer 4

you can

*set against the wall

* see how many bumps you can get in a row

*stretch out you're arm muscles.

hopefully that helps a little.

Answer 5

Serving, Setting, Bumping, and Spiking!! :)

Answer 6

When you don't have a lot to practice with, you work on your control.

Pass and set against a wall. Mix up the types of both.

Passing- close to wall, high, normal distance, and side to side

Setting- same as passing

---------------                  --------------------              -----------------

Then you want to work on hitting accuracy. To do this you practice downballing against the ground in front of the wall so the ball bounces back to you.

This is fairly simple, but don't be fooled, it is very beneficial. Hand contact is what you are working on. Hitting with good topspin and accuracy. Very very important for hitters.

So basically, work variety passing/setting, and work hand contact/ accuracy for hitting. Also you can practice your float serve contact against the wall.
