Abstract
Volleyball is a game that is played on a rather small court, demanding a considerable speed level of the top players. The speed in volleyball becomes apparent mostly in the performance of the technical-tactical elements and specific movements aiming at attacking quickly and efficiently (especially in a combination and feint attacks) or at covering optimally the largest possible part of the court in defense actions (block or field defense).
By suggesting a number of exercises, the authors wish to draw attention to the development of the specific speed of volleyball players without the ball as well as to the specification and regularity of the technique of movements around the volleyball court (“backing off” the block to defense, defenders moving from Tempo 1 to Tempo 2 defense, “backing off” the net and run-up fora spike, etc.). A certain number of exercises suggest a different approach to the development of the specific speed in volleyball players (exercises stressing the “step hop” movements and “foot fire” exercises) and can by all means be considered a novelty in volleyball training. They are the result of empirical knowledge exclusively.
