T strikes ball to libero, 2 attackers start at the net.
Pass, set-up and attack on position 3 or 4.
Blocking:
- Outside, inside hand on ball, center joins in.
- Centre blocks with emphasis on shielding position 1/2.
- Then service (float) to position 1.
Variant:
- Attack on positions 2 and 3 and service to position 5.

2 players facing each other in the middle.
Dominant side has ball.
Both block and the non-dominant side taps the ball with two hands.
After landing, dominant side chooses a side and moves sideways to the antenna and jumps again with ball which is tapped over the net by the non-dominant side.
Then 1 blocked player, 2 players with balls behind them, 1 attacker on the opposite side. Ball is thrown over the blockers to the attacker.
Blocker watches arm of attacker and blocks ball to position 6.
Extend to 2-block with slide and centre, including movement.

Objective:
- To prevent miscommunication in the field by keeping appointments.
Part:
- Pass setup with 4 passers.
- Left hand rule everything that comes right in front and left of you is yours.
- In addition, the outside passers have the short balls that fall in the middle of the field.
- Trainer stands at the other side of the net and starts throwing balls at conflicting places.
- If this goes well, the trainer will hit the balls.
- On the place of the defender there is a catcher who will be relieved after 3 minutes.
Part 2:
- There is a five-man line-up.
- So a playmaker, a center, a slide and 2 passers/runners.
- The playmaker comes from the right back.
- On the other side are 3 blockers and 1 defender.
- The coach serves to the fivesome.
- The playmaker of the fivesome is only allowed to pass to the attackers who are calling for the ball.(Goal: everyone asks for the ball)
- The rally is played out.

Ball in storage
Pass to duo

This exercise is about the movement of the middle block and cooperation with the outside blocker.
- The ball is introduced through service or throw in (by the trainer or team-mate).
- Service is towards the passer.
- Passer brings the ball to the distributor.
- The distributor sets up the attack.
- After 10 attacks the game is continued.
- Players prefer to play on their own position.
Important for the exercise:
- The playmaker communicates with his attackers about the desired attacking position and speed (especially the alternation between rise and short of the middle attacker).
- Mid block jumps with a rising attack (not full).
- If the ball goes outside, he lands on his left foot and moves outside to set up a two-man block (connecting).
- If the ball is played over middle, the outside blocker steps out to make a pass if the ball falls short or is hit.

Organization:
- Trainer throws to playmaker on p2/4 on field A.
- Every 5 setups the players are changed.
- On p4 an attacker stands at the net.
- On court B there is a blocker on p2 and a defender on p5.
Execution:
- Trainer claps on the ball and throws to.
- The attacker walks back from the net at the moment of hit and attacks the setup on p4.
- She then runs back again and attacks a 2nd ball at p3.
- The block on field B moves with her to p3.
Running directions:
- Attacker becomes block.
- Block becomes defense.
- Defense retrieves the balls and becomes attacker.

Organization:
- Players on p2 and p4.
- Other players in 2 rows on 3m line p3.
Execution:
- The first two players walk to the net and block together on p3.
- Then they sidestep or walk to p2 and p4 and block together with the player who is already there.
- The original player on p2 and p4 make a roll/dive and join the other row.
