Warm up exercise in relay form

  • Divide the players into groups of 2 or 3 players and place them on the left side of the field.
  • Give each player a tennis ball.
  • At the start sign, the 1st player of each group starts running to the other, right, side with a ball.
  • Once there, they put the ball outside the line and run back as fast as they can so that player 2 of their group can start running with his/her ball.
  • When all the balls are on the right side and the last player has returned to his/her group, it is over.
  • The first one back to his/her group wins.
Walk movements practice zigzagging around pawns:
  • Walking
  • Forward
  • Backward
  • Sliding
drawing Warming up Walking movements
  • All balls at the center line.
  • Make 2-pairs.
  • On the sides of the center line at the edge of the field there will be 2 Pylons, in the middle near the balls there will also be a pylon.
  • You calmly roll/bounce the ball to the goal side. Throw the ball in such a way that the players can still catch it!
  • After you have thrown or rolled the ball, the players on the sides of the field must first slide across the center line toward you. From the post in the middle they may only start running towards the ball.

  • If you score, your team has a point; the first to 10 points wins!
  • If 1 person is left, have the person catch the balls and always pass them to you.

Each player is given a mat. The mats are about 12 to 16 meters apart.
  • On cue from the trainer, the defending side runs around its own mat, the attacking side sprints to the mat and tries to take the ball off the mat.
  • At the trainer's signal, the defending side does a backward head roll, the attacking side sprints to the mat and tries to grab the ball.
  • At the trainer's signal, the defensive side does 2 push-ups, the offensive side sprints to the mat and tries to grab the ball.
  • At the trainer's signal, the defensive side runs a lap backwards around the mat, the attacking side sprints to the mat and tries to grab the ball.
After each time, you switch between offense and defense. The defense uses the handball rules.
