Our Volleyball Schemes of Work and Lesson Plans (KS3 & KS4) include:

  • To be able to use different parts of the body to contact and keep the ball in the air. Students should be able to perform a basic set and dig technique and be able to apply these to small-sided competitive games and use them to begin an attack.
  • Rallies should be started with a basic underarm serve and students should understand rules regarding the scoring of points, rotation of court positions and catching/volleying the ball.
  • The students are to be constantly asked and tested on their knowledge and understanding of how to outwit opponents; evaluate performances; analyse strengths and weaknesses; whilst developing, adapting and refining skills, strategies and tactics to produce high levels of performance and high-quality techniques.
  • Students should know by name the different areas and lines on the court
  • To be able to use the volley and the dig more effectively in small-sided games and start to outwit opponents when attacking.
  • They should be able to use the overarm serve to begin rallies and understand the rules governing the serve and contact of the net. Students should be able to use the spike to return the ball into the opponent’s court and be able to block weak spiking attempts.
  • Students should understand the usual series of 3 shots and should be able to umpire a small-sided competitive game.
  • Also, the students are to be constantly asked and tested on their knowledge and understanding of how to outwit opponents; evaluate performances; analyse strengths and weaknesses; whilst developing, adapting and refining skills, strategies and tactics to produce high levels of performance and high-quality techniques.
  • To perform more advanced digging and setting techniques such as the roll and the reverse set and all students should be able to apply these to 6v6 competitive matches.
  • Students should be able to perform more advanced spiking techniques such as the off-speed and on/off handspikes and should be able to use these with greater accuracy, aiming to land the ball in ‘weak’ areas of the opponent’s court.
  • Throughout the phases students are constantly asked how to outwit opponents; evaluate performances; analyse strengths and weaknesses; whilst developing, adapting and refining skills, strategies and tactics to produce high levels of performance and high-quality techniques. 
  • Multiple blocks should also be evident by the end of the scheme and students should understand that multiple blocks are a more effective method of denying the opposing attacking player space, compared to a single block.
  • Students should know and be able to use the W+1 formation in competitive situations.
  • To be able to add topspin to overhead serves, serving with more power and accuracy than previously. Students should be able to perform more advanced defensive techniques, such as the sprawl and also use more advanced setting techniques to turn inaccurate passes into good attacking opportunities for the back as well as frontcourt players.
  • Students should understand the rules governing attacks from the backcourt and should be able to spike legally and accurately from behind the attack line.
  • The HELP position should be evident in games and students should be covering attacking teammates, anticipating a block from the opposing defence. Teams will change from transition to attack formations during rallies and students will umpire all games. 
  • Also, throughout the phases students are constantly asked how to outwit opponents; evaluate performances; analyse strengths and weaknesses; whilst developing, adapting and refining skills, strategies and tactics to produce high levels of performance and high-quality techniques.
