Setting:
- One ball per 3-team.

- 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.

Then do this exercise in pairs:
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:
- 1 person throws up
- 1 person does attack pass with timing => catch as high as possible with 2 hands.

- It is a 360 degree field, so through the hoop the ball may go in any direction.
- Always play the game 2 against 2.
- Vary the level of difficulty for the players. For example: catch 1x for C youth, do not smash, and so on.
