slalom-11

  • A slalom exercise
  • watch how the hands are holding the stick
  • where they have the ball
  • And if they use the stick properly when they run through the exercise!
  • If it goes well, you can make a game of it and see if they master this. The team that has been through all the exercises first has won.
  • Two players stand behind each other. Around them 4 pawns in an angle: 3 next to them/2 behind them
  • The ball is passed to the player in front.
  • She runs around the pawn in front, turns left and plays the second player between the pawns.

  • This repeats itself, then the first player finishes on goal.
  • Players divided into two groups on one side of the field.
  • Two rows of cones next to each other.
  • Players pass the ball back and forth while walking past the cones.
  • Variations
    • Individuals keep ball high along a row of cones, both groups independent of each other.

Goal

  • To practise running through the ball in motion (accepting in the run).


Set up

  • 2 players stand in a line (e.g. sideline)
  • and 1 player stands 10-20 metres away.
  • The first player of the team runs a few metres and then passes the ball to the second player.
  • and passes the ball to the person standing alone.
  • He starts running roughly at the time of the pass.
  • This way, he runs through the ball at the moment he takes over.
  • The person who passed then moves to the 1-ling position
  • The exercise can be made more difficult by lengthening the distance between passes In addition, a passing move can be made before the pass.

Purpose

  • Practicing different techniques. (Also useful to observe how things are going during the 1st training).


Set up

  • All players line up on the baseline (or another line) and do a certain
  • and do a certain exercise until the 23m line (or another line).
  • This can be only floating, or floating + at whistle a drag or lift, etc.
  • Important is that it is not about the fastest, but the best!
  • You can make it easier or more difficult by making a difference in the exercise.

Purpose
: To get warm through a combination of passing, running, and picking up in the run and from standstill.

Format
:This exercise is also known from volleyball. The pawns are not exactly in a triangle. It is possible, depending on the number of players, to set up a multiple of the exercise.

  1. The player at A passes the ball straight to the player at B.
  2. The player at B plays the ball to the player at C and runs towards point A.
  3. The player at C receives the ball at point D and passes it to point A.
  4. For the changeover, A runs to B, B via D to C and C to A.


float

Variations:

  • Variations can be made in terms of stroke. (hit, push, flats)
  • The distances can be made larger or smaller to adjust the level of difficulty.
  • Pawns can be placed to play in between. This is to increase the purity. When you make the cones smaller, the degree of difficulty increases.
  • To play the ball from C to D there can be bounced.
  • To play the ball from D to A you can play bounce.
  • You can also place point C on the other side so that you reverse backhand and forehand.
  • When you place point C at 90 degrees from point B, you can do the same exercise, only then you will hit point D from a different angle.
  • When you set up different situations, you can rotate the exercise. Situation A is the standard, in situation B the exercise is mirrored, in situation C the exercise is set up so that point B and C are at 90 degrees from each other and situation D is a mirror of situation C.


Points of attention:

  • As a trainer you can take a good look at the different techniques of your players.
  • Sit low at the take-off.
  • When playing the ball from C to D, the ball may not shoot too far in the direction of A. The intention is that the player coming from B should take the ball at right angles.
  • Play the ball on the forehand where possible.
  • Stand ready to receive the ball. (low to the ground, stick on the ground)

2 attackers and 1 defender.

  • Attacker plays the ball to the other attacker
  • The defender puts pressure
  • The attackers try to score
  • If they succeed, the game starts again.
