warm-up-with-focus-on-block-initiation

These exercises are done in pairs.

  • Exercise 1:
    • Person 1 stands with a ball at the net, person 2 starts at the 3-meter line. Person 1 hits the ball and person 2 has to run backwards and play the ball to person 1 again. 10x per person.
  • Exercise 2:
    • Person 1 stands on the 3-meter line with a ball. Person 2 is going to block at the net and then turn around to play the short ball of person 1. 10x per person.

walking-in-threes-2

  • Make threes
  • Each trio one ball.
  • Player in the middle runs an 8 each time. Each time this player gets in the middle, a ball is thrown:
    • A throws (or plays overhand) the ball to B (in the middle).
    • B plays the ball back to A underhand and then runs around A until he is in the middle again.
    • A meanwhile passes the ball overhead to C.
    • C plays the ball overhand back to B.
    • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
    • Etc.
  • After 2-3 minutes, the player in the middle changes.


Variation:

  • To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
  • To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.
  • 2 teams,
    • 1 with ball at the net,
    • 1 without ball on the backline flat on belly.
  • player at the net bounces the ball, player two catches/OH to the net player.
    • after that change positions
  • Two teams one ball
  • 1st players ready to stop the ball
  • 2nd players ready to roll the ball
  • When the ball is rolling, player one has to stop it with:
    • Stops ball with right hand 5x
    • Stops the ball with the left hand 5x
    • Stops ball with foot 5x
    • Runs around and sits for the ball and lets ball roll between the legs 5x
    • Runs around it and lies down in front of the ball and holds the ball still with arms extended 5x
