- 2 players with ball on the backline on field A.
- Trainer with balls at the right side of field A.
- Remaining players at position 5 on field A.
- Implementation:
- 1st player comes running at p4, blocks ball.
- On coming down the player on the back line p6 throws up the ball.
- Blocking player is going to play this ball up and then runs back.
- For a 2nd block to then defend the back line.
- Then trainer throws a ball on the 3m-line to be attacked on L.
- Pick up the ball and give it to the trainer.
- Solving points:
- Do not start too fanatically.
- Regularly change the players on the bench and on the back line.
- Organization:
- 2 players on p2 with balls.
- 2 players in the backfield.
- 2 (or more) players out of the field.
- Implementation:
- During 1 minute, the players on the p2 are going to keep the field players busy with attacks, tip balls, etc.
- Let 1 player on p2 work and as soon as a ball is not defended, the 2nd player takes over.
- The players off the field take care of ball safety.
- After 1 minute the players on p2 become defenders, defenders go out of the field and 2 new ones on p2.
- Organization:
- 3 passers including a PL and the Libero on field A.
- Playmaker on field A.

- Defenders on field B.
- Execution:
- Change service into pass in setup in attack on p4.
- Change after 3x attacks on p4.
- Expand:
- Add a block p3.
- Swap at 3x score.
- 1 player at the net on position 2/3
- 3 players in the backfield.
- The player at the net puts the defense to work and has the freedom to touch each ball at least once up to a maximum of three times.
- The defense makes sure that the ball reaches the player at the net in 1 or 2 times.
- Objective:
- Increase responsiveness.
- Place one player in the corner of the field.
- Have at least 4 players stand around him in a quarter circle.
- Each player has his own ball.
- Throw the ball in tempo (tight) on the knees of the player in the corner to pass back underhand.
- After passing, immediately throw the ball to the next player in the quarter circle.
- Player in the corner so consecutive balls in underhand pass back:
- Important to stay low.
- Expect the ball.
- Respond regardless.
- About 5 rounds and then replace the player in the corner.
- Two players stand behind each other.
- About half a meter apart, facing the same way.
- Another player stands 3 or 4 meters away from them and has a ball and throws it to upper hand.
- The one who throws throws randomly on player 1 and 2.
- Player 1 or 2 calls loose if he thinks the ball is for him and plays overhand back.
- About 20 balls in a row.
- Then the group of 3 changes position until everyone has been there.
- After that again, but now without talking.
- All on the 3 meter line facing the net.
- If necessary divide in two halves.
- In slow motion synchronise the attacking pass. (right-handed)
- The next steps are in an arc towards the net; by doing this all at once in synchrony, they oblige each other to run in an arc:
- Left small step; take arms to the front; start of forward force
- Right big step; arms all the way back; deep in knees; accelerationof forward force
- Left foot in front of the right (close step), with the foot parallel to the net; forward force is slowed down
- Throw both arms up and push off with 2 feet up; forward force is converted into upward force
- Right arm backwards like baseball/arrow pitcher; left arm points in direction of desired ball path; strike ball and land through knees approx. 0.5m in front of the net
- The first student picks up the second and they have to return to the starting point with the hoop around their waists.
- Nr 1 holds the wall with one hand.
- Nr 2 picks up nr 3 and holds on to nr 1.
- And so on.
- When everybody is picked up, a long chain is formed and everybody has to try to get through the hoop.
- Group on 5 and 6.
- 5 throws ball towards 3 and players on 6 set up from 3.
- Players on 5 attack on 4.
- 5 gets the ball and 6 passes to 5.
- Pay attention to high quality. Arms well up, straight up, high jumps.
