- Divide group into triplets.
- Form of play is 2 against 2 on a half court.
- Goal: move and communicate in backfield.
- Do not want to score, but keep the ball in play, play "on" the person and make long rallies.
- Hit the 3rd ball as much as possible. Play overhand to keep the rally going.
- Starting position:
- 2 players in the court, 1 on the back line "waiting room" on both sides.
- Ball is brought in from 2-3 meters with toss and attacking stroke=> back 5-7 meter position.
- Passer becomes attacker. so after pass immediately to 3 meters and then attack.
- After attack immediately out and to waiting room.
- Non-passer goes forward immediately and becomes Setter then back to 5-7m position.
- "Waiting room" supplies new passer.
- Trainer brings the ball into play towards the passer by throwing/striking.
- Of the two passers, the one who claims the ball will play the ball to 1 of the 2 SVs.
- SV gives long setup towards attack.
- Attacker hits ball straight through and retrieves ball, ball in ball box, joins passers.
PASS -> SV
SV -> ATTACK
ATTACK -> PASS
SV -> ATTACK

- Groups of 3 people of approximately equal height.
- The thrower pays attention to the correct steps:
- Short, Long, Connect, Take arms with jump.
- Attacker asks for higher/lower ball to get the timing right.
- Defender determines start of exercise.
Setting:
- One ball per 3-team.
- 2 Blockers face each other at the net.
- Setter next to 1 of the blockers.
Rotation:
- Defender determines start, countdown = 3-2-1 block => try => hands touch each other above the net.
- Defender => shuffle backwards to about 5-6 meter position -speed !
- Attacker => fast to the 3 meters ready for attack.
- Throw up => almost straight up on indication of height attacker.
- Attacker => straight up calm stroke.
- Defender => Pass up and catch.
- Thrower to other side of the net.
- Same principle but mirrored.
- 5x attack per person so 10x toss up.
- Mutual exchange, 3x total, everyone is the thrower once.
Practice attack run a few times with a few runs beforehand.
Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.
Then do this exercise in pairs:
