• Player T.A. from the net:
  • 3 teams on the back line on the belly
• Player gives slap on ball, 3 players stand up and trainer attacks one of the trio defends, nr. 2 setup and nr. 3 attacks
  • then next 3 team
• Andre side are 3 blockers.
• Slide through per 3 team

Goal: ball lane recognition, take position in time.

• Ball path: A throws to B, B passes to C.
• Direction of play: A, B, C
• B moves (before the ball has passed the net) to the right position (90%) and is active instead of re-active.
• B assumes the correct position when the ball passes the net.
• B adjusts in the remaining time to the correct position (10%).
• Possibly build up:
  • First B catches the ball with bent arms.
  • after that B passes the ball underarms.

Attacking at position 4, blocking at pos 2 on the other side (if there are enough players also blocking at pos 3), defending at pos 1 and 6. After defending, the ball is caught by the blocker.

• 1 sv
• Defenders remain standing
• Attacker becomes a blocker on pos. 2, if also a blocker on pos. 3, the blocker stays standing.
• After 5 minutes the defenders (and blockers) change.
• Attack at pos. 2 and 3, blocking at pos. 3 and 4 (if 1 blocker stands where the attack is going on), defence at pos. 5 and 6.

• Trainer stands on the other side of the net.
• At the centre back there is a row of passers in front of the net and a catcher.
• The trainer throws the ball to the first of the passers.
• The passer passes the ball to the catcher, the catcher tries to throw the ball through the basket, picks up his/her ball and puts it in the cart and joins the back of the line.
• The passer becomes receiver.

Learning the pancake roll in 5 exercises:

1. dry practise, step-by-step (repeat 5 times) (
below describes a roll to the right; swap right/left for a roll to the left) - start position
underhand pass (sit low)
- step out one leg (right) to the side and bend the knee very deeply -
slide
(
right) hand over the ground diagonally right to the front (pancake)
- sink through until the right hip is on the ground -
swing
the legs
over the hips to the other side - during the swing
bend
the
stretched (left) leg and stretch the bent (right) leg - by the speed of the swing turn through
so that you come back in the underhand pass position

2. Get used to it (is also good to use as a warming-up exercise) -
start on the sideline facing the net -
roll to the other sideline
in three times
-
roll
back to the
first sideline
in three times
(or walk back if you want to learn the roll in one direction first)

3. gaining experience (repeat 5 times) -
pairs with 1 ball - thrower with
ball near the net, defender at 6 or 7 meter
- throw the ball, so that it lands on the ground 2 meters next to and 1 meter in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll (the roll is first more important than hitting the ball)

4. get accuracy -
trio or quartet with 2 or 3 balls (1 defender, the rest is throwing) - the throwers
stand on LV, MV and possibly on RV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the MV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll as well
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender again - the defender tries to hit
this ball with a pancake roll as well - after 5 times the
players rotate through on position

5. roll in both directions -
trio with 2 balls (2 throwers, 1 defender) - the throwers
stand on LV and MV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the MV throws the ball so that it hits the ground on the right side, 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll to the right
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground on the left side at 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll to the left - after 5 times the players
turn around
in
position

• Two teams either side of the field one team.
• Comes into the field with a man plays the ball over the not and then goes out of the field.
• Next one enters the field and on and on

• A serves at B
• B plays into C
• C sets up and B plays over the net
• Run after own ball

• Make threes
• Each trio one ball.
• Player in the middle runs an 8. Every time this player comes 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.

This exercise is fun to do and gives a lot of fun and competition! Relays in general already create competition.

What this exercise also wants to mimic is the stress factor that a serve brings.

• The players are divided into equal teams and lined up on the serving area of the same court.
• The first player of a team serves and retrieves his ball.
• After the next player is tapped, this one serves, and so on.

It is important for a player to serve quickly, but it must also be flawless, otherwise the ball must be retrieved and served again!

If the teams are small, it is fun to let everyone serve two or three times.

Necessary:

• A minimum of 6 players
• As many balls as there are teams

2 teams.

• Throw the ball quickly and tactically over the net with the aim of hitting the ground within the lines before a defender can grab it.
• If you succeed in doing so, you earn 1 point.
• You have to throw the ball immediately after catching it, holding the ball is not allowed.
• Extension 1: After each action turn 1 position clockwise.
• Extension 2: After each throwing action, walk to the net and touch it before you can go back.
• Game to e.g. 5 points or best of 3/5/7 or certain fixed time.

• 4 at the back line and 4 at the net with the ball.
• You pass on the left after the action you dive to the back line.
• And then turn right.
