Here’s a 60-minute general volleyball practice plan for beginners:

  1. Warm-Up (10 minutes): Start with a light jog around the court to get the blood flowing. Then, do some dynamic stretching exercises to prepare the muscles for activity. These can include lunges, leg swings, arm circles, and high knees.
  2. Basic Volleyball Skills (20 minutes): Teach the players the basic volleyball skills such as passing, setting, and hitting. Break these skills down into simple steps and have the players practice them individually before putting them together in a team drill.
  3. Serving Practice (10 minutes): Serving is an essential skill in volleyball, and beginners often struggle with it. Have the players practice serving from the service line, focusing on accuracy rather than power.
  4. Scrimmage (20 minutes): Divide the team into two and have them play a scrimmage game. Encourage the players to apply the skills they learned earlier in the practice, but don’t be too strict with rules at this point. Let the players have fun and get a feel for the game.
  5. Cool-Down (5 minutes): Finish the practice with some static stretching exercises to help the players cool down and prevent injury.

Remember to keep the practice fun and engaging for the players. Encourage them to ask questions and provide feedback on their performance. With consistent practice and encouragement, your beginners will soon develop their volleyball skills and enjoy playing the game.
