Warm up
Organisation of Divided Court Game 1
1/3 of a badminton court with dividing line;

conditioned game - ball delivered below the knees with 2 hands;
- ball allowed to bounce once on each side of the divided court.
Conduct rules:
fair play;
keeping an accurate score.
not allowed to move with the ball
Procedural rules:
end line for service;
ball in or out;
method of scoring;
sideout
Tactical solution :
With the ball
to send the object across the line so that it is difficult to return.

Without the ball
to cover own court area to deny space to the opposition.

Readiness position
Volleyball is a sport which requires quick

reactions and rapid, controlled
movements over relatively short
distances. It can be described as a
readiness-state sport. This state of
readiness is required both physically and
mentally.
A sense of readiness can be portrayed
by a correct body shape.
Key characteristics:
Feet shoulder-width apart.
Knees bent and inside the line of the toes.
Weight forward with the knees loaded
Spine straight.
Hands in front of the body, ready to move.
This relaxed, ready posture is the best position from which to
move quickly and efficiently in any direction forwards, backwards
or sideways.
This readiness state is similar to that seen in many sports; a basketball defender,
a goalkeeper in football, a slip catcher in cricket are a few examples.

Beating the Ball
Rebound sports such as volleyball require very precise positioning by the student, in order for the ball to be
brought under control. Inexperienced players cannot compensate for poor positioning through superior strength or
adaptation of technique. Therefore, players need to arrive at the position where they play the ball in a balanced
and controlled state before the ball arrives. It is not sufficient for a player to arrive at the same time as the ball. The
aim should be, when possible, to beat the ball.
Ideally, players want to time their movements so that they arrive at an interception point a fraction before the ball,
in order to be able to gather themselves and prepare physically and mentally for the ball contact.
Practices for Beating the Ball
1. Chase It
Aim: To develop the ability to time movements in
relation to ball speed.
Rules: In pairs, one feeder one worker. A rolls the
ball, B chases the ball and accelerates past it
to stop it by sitting on it, facing A.
Teaching Points: Ready to go, quick off the mark, beat the ball.

to cover own court area to deny space to the opposition and be comfortably placed to play the object.
Strategical solution:
With the ball
self- feed the ball to the net and higher than the net so the ball can be delivered in a downward direction from a point higher than
the net.
Without the ball
defend at the net or off the net
Fundamentals of the Game

Controlling Space
Control of space by students, both as individuals and as members of a team is vital in the
game of volleyball. For this reason players need to have an understanding of controlling
their own space either in defence attack before they can operate effectively in a team
context.
The basic principles of controlling space are:
Base Position
The best place for a player to start from in order to defend his/her court is towards the
back and in the middle because:
i) it is easier to move forwards to play the ball than to move backwards, and
ii) taking a balanced middle position gives equal chance to defend to the left or to the right. The idea of a defensive
base position is thus established.
Read the Attack

It is important to watch the attacker and to move to get in line with the direction he/she is facing, as this is the
direction in which they are most likely to attack.
A reads the attacker
lor2, and moves
in anticipation of attack.
Direction of
attacker and the attack.
Return to Base
After playing the ball the student finishes the movement cycle by going back to his/her base defensive position;
therefore the cycle is as follows:
1 Base
2 Move to play the ball
3 Finish the cycle by returning to base
Attack from the
Net
It is better to
net because this
going and hence
attack the opponents court from a position close to the

gives them less time to anticipate where the ball is
to defend their court.
Teaching Spiking
Unless the balance of the player is correctly controlled, nothing else matters;
then until the posture is correctly assembled, nothing else is relevant; then until
the player understands how to correctly assemble the touch point, no
progression can occur; then until an understanding on how to assess ball flight
has been reached, the correct positioning of the touch point cannot take place.
These are fundamentals and should be tackled in that order. Once some
understanding and stability has occurred in the player, the teacher can move on
to:
- the technique of the approach footwork
- the rhythm between footwork and jump
- the mechanics of the arm swing
- the quality of the hand contact
Teaching Progression
Step One - Establish an understanding of ball flight.
Students have to respond to the peak of the ball flight by moving into position and making a physical action e.g.
clapping, touching the floor with their hands etc. at the peak point. They should learn to understand to use flight to
the peak to adjust positioning, flight at the peak to re-assemble balance, flight from the peak to deliver an action.
Step Two - Positioning and assembling touch point.

Reading the ball flight has to be linked to positioning the hips correctly. In the early stages, this is best done with a
ball which is fed by a partner who stands facing the student who is working.
Once the notion of aiming with the hips has been established, the students should be encouraged to use the left
side of the body to assemble the touch point.
Step Three - posture and swing

The key elements of controlling the hips and the position of the head should be introduced in a very simple form.
Asking the students to spike a ball onto the floor while standing can be used. The student should start with the ball
in his hand, breathe out to stabilise the position of the shoulders and the head, then swing their hand to hit the ball
off the ground without tossing it, or leaning forward during or after the swing.
