• 4 gives setup on 1 and 1 attacks on 2.
• 2 defends to 3,
• 3 gives setup on 2 and 2 attacks on 1,
• 1 defends on 4 and it starts all over again.
• After 3 and 4 have given 5 setups they switch,
• the challenge is to do this while keeping the ball in play.

• field is divided in 2 parts
• on side 1 are 1 playmaker, the libero and the middle attackers
• on side 2 are the other players
• there are on each side 1 attacker and 1 blocker and a server.
• depending on the number of players there is 1 passer or 2 passers.
• the purpose of this exercise is to get in agreement with the distributor which ball you want to play.
• With the middle players we will practice on the 'rise' balls and other variations such as the 'neck'.

Some variations on the well known butterfly...:

• Service-pass-catch on SU-position, running after the ball.
• As everyone is chasing his/her ball, each player has a different task, but if desired, a player can have a fixed position.
• Variation 1:
  • The SU plays a set-up to position 4, where an attacker stands to play a (placed) attack on the receiver.
  • The rotation then becomes: Service -passer -upper - attacker - off-side - service etc.
• Variation 2:
  • the fixed SU plays a ball to a receiver 'somewhere' in the field, who makes himself known by calling 'here'.
  • The SU learns to react on sound, the receiver learns to communicate his position.
• Variation 3:
  • The fixed SU plays the pass backwards to position 2, where the receiver, after an attacking movement, catches the ball and starts serving.
  • In the diagram is variation 1

• Playmakers switch between themselves.
• Targeted attacking defender.
• Defender catches ball.
• Runs around pawn.

• Players must handle ball and rally.

• defend

• A plays bot pass to B by playing it on mat and runs on to cone.
• B defends ball to A position cone and runs to position 2 to attack.
• A plays one control intermediate pass to himself and plays ball to C, who passes to attack to B.
• D is blocker!
