• Passer stands against the back line in starting position pass
• Player at the net throws the ball alternately short and deep.
• P moves forwards and backwards and passes to S
• S catches the pass
• Change after 10 balls

Then in threes:

• Passer stands in the starting position in the backfield and moves sideways opposite player 1 and 2
• Players 1 and 2 take turns passing the ball to P who returns it under arms
• Players 1 and 2 catch the pass
• after 10 times turning around

Sprawl trainingExplain the
sprawl. (gliding low over your forearm to catch the ball)

Start on your knees and make yourself long while sliding over your forearms.
If that goes well, let the group stand and do the same exercise while sitting low. This can still be a barrier for some players to continue You have to coach these players to get this technique right.
In the end they all go.

Then in groups of three hit the ball to practice.

• 1 hits (throws) the ball
• 1 does the sprawl
• 1 player catches the ball.

If this goes well you let the player on the 3mtr line start doing a split step backwards and do the sprawl forwards.

Note it is wise to have socks or long sleeves on with this exercise.

Make 3 or 4 teams (depends on the amount of players).
1 player on 7mtr line and 2 at the net.

• Left front plays the ball overhand to player 2 (7mtr).
• Player 2 plays the ball underarm to player 3 (net)
• Player 3 plays the ball overhand again to player 1.

If the exercise is running player 1 can hit the ball overhand (quietly).

• A serves to B.
• B passes the ball to the playmaker, who then plays a high ball into the backfield.
• B defends this ball back to the playmaker, who then gives a setup for B.
• B attacks this setup.
• 
  

After the attack, A takes B's place and B becomes a reserve. The playmaker stays.

The attackers use the left half of the court with one playmaker. The middle attackers and diagonal attackers use the right half with another playmaker.

Extension:

• After the service, A takes a second ball.
• After B's attack A throws this ball into the field.
• B plays this ball to the playmaker, the playmaker gives a setup.
• B attacks again.

• Row of attackers on the outside without the ball
• Trainer throws ball to SV
• No 1 attack on outside, paying close attention to the run up and one must use 2 arms to come up. Attacker gets the ball and puts it in the ballcar.
• Calm pace at first and later at a higher pace. But both arms must be raised!
