Circulation warm-up

- By doing this you actively bring the function of the heart, lungs, nervous system and muscular system to a higher level than the resting level.
Stretching

- B1 plays on point of play, runs on and receives the ball in the run and finishes with a running shot.
- R1 blocks the ball. (jumping and forearms against each other)
- Two or three people on the left side of the pitch (can also be another position) and have to shoot.
- The rest of the players collect balls and one of them plays the balls.
- Shooting from the left side in succession.
- The player who scores ten times first has won.

- Divide group into equal attackers/defenders. (e.g. 5-5)
- Defenders defend forwards and pay attention to their (correct) position (correct leg in front - bent legs - grab opponent by the upper arms - stand as close to opponent as possible). Obstruct the shot/run direction - force attacker outside - communicate - help close teammates
- Attackers must - determine where the spaces are - press forward and show initiative (by passing (tipping/shooting), running free (with/without the ball), playing give-and-go's. Changing/acquiring a position)
The exercise can be made easier or more difficult by: (foul play - make space in attack bigger/smaller - adjust number of players)
