Free club volleyball practice schedule template
Most volleyball practice templates plan one team's practice. This one schedules the club: every rented gym and court for the week, the net height on each court, a check that flags a coach booked on two courts at once, tournament dates, a team order and a picks log. Free to download, no sign-up, no email required.
Example: replace. The workbook opens with six placeholder teams, such as 12U Red, and an example week of courts and bookings, so you can see how the grid and the counts work. Type over them with your own.
What's in the template
| Sheet | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Instructions | The steps below, inside the file |
| Teams | Pick order, team, age group, net height, coach, coach email, practices allowed a week, and a practices-booked count from the grid |
| Courts | Each rented gym and court, night by night, with block times and the net height it's set for |
| Week grid | Every court, every night, in 2-hour blocks from 6:00 pm, with a drop-down of team names. Rename the courts to match your rentals. |
| Tournaments | Dates, events, which teams are away, and your practice rule for that weekend |
| Picks log | One row per pick or change, with who entered it and when |
The coach check
Club coaches often run two teams. When one coach is booked on two courts in the same block, the week grid turns that night's five courts for the block amber, and the block's start time too. It works from the coach names on the Teams sheet, so spell each coach's name the same way everywhere.
How to use it
- Fill in the Courts sheet with every gym you rent, the usable courts and the real end times.
- Block out tournaments and closures. Pick TOURNAMENT or CLOSED on the week grid before anyone sees it.
- List teams in pick order, with age group, net height, coach and practices allowed a week. Our guide on sharing club volleyball court time across age groups compares priority rules, and the volleyball court time calculator sizes each team's share.
- Publish the order before sign-up opens.
- Go down the order, one practice per round. Keep teams that use the same net height on the same court back to back where you can.
- Log every pick and change, then send the schedule to coaches and families.
When a spreadsheet stops working
A spreadsheet is the right tool for one organizer who enters every pick for the club. When coaches start picking for themselves, the published order becomes a suggestion, two people type into the same cell, and you become the one telling every coach it's their turn. Our general practice schedule template page covers the warning signs in more detail.
When you outgrow the sheet
The same sign-up, run in turn online
Ordallo runs this exact process for gym and court time. You set the team order; each team picks in turn from what is left; nothing double-booked, including a center court and the cross courts under it. Coaches get an email when their turn opens and pick from a phone with a personal link and an access code, no account needed. Each pick lands on the calendar, and every pick and change stays on the record.
Ordered turns, turn emails and calendar invites are paid features, coming with launch pricing.
