• Servers take turns serving:
• Servers start serving, defenders --> pass to SV (pass MUST be good)

• Defenders (3 in the field and 3 waiting) --> after each pass the player with the waiting room switches
• TR is on the 2/3 position and he decides to whom the point goes.
• A good serve is a point BUT if the defenders pass this serve better the point goes to the passers

• Learning to pass to playmaker (position 2) with movement towards the ball.

• Player A moves sideways to position 6.
• Player B plays the ball back to position 6.
• Player A plays the ball (preferably) BH to the korf basket at position 2.
• Player B catches the ball and joins the line at position 1.
• Player C moves into position player B.

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

• In the middle of the field a large square is made with 4 benches. Here 2 players stand.
• All balls are distributed in the hall and the other players are waiting for the trainer.
• When the trainer says start, the players must try to get as many balls as possible into the square.
• The 2 players who are in the square throw the balls back out again.
• After 1 minute the trainer checks how many balls are still in the square.
• ATTENTION:
  • You may only throw 1 ball at a time in or out of the square!

Servicepass training for 4 to 12 persons4
persons:
2 servers at the servicepoint.
1 passer1
receiver
(dynamic) same as static but dancer plays ball on receiver. Passer plays to off-setter. (server becomes reserve, reserve becomes passer, passer becomes receiver etc.)

6 persons.
2 servers3
passers1
receiver
(static) see four persons
(dynamic) server serves the ball and runs after his/her ball.
Passer passes the ball to the receiver. The player on the right becomes the server and the server
moves in on the left. Catcher becomes server. If this does not work out 1 passer becomes reserve.

Extend with fixed sv and extra player on pos 4, who will attack. Passer becomes attacker, when pass is wrong the passer goes away.

Extend with blocking.

Aim: Players Setup from 1st time + targeted attack. 

• T plays ball high over the net in the attack zone. 
• Sv enters from pos.1 and sets up for -or backwards. 
• A attacks on the mat/goal. 

Expand : Block, middle attack, ... 

Stand opposite each other in pairs:

• 1 person has 2 tennis balls, the other 2 volleyballs.
• The person with the volleyballs throws one ball high to the other person, to 1 of his 2 hands.
•  That person has to throw the tennis ball in that hand low back to the other person
• Always the same person who performs the first action

Stand opposite to each other in pairs:

• 1 person has a tennis ball, the other a volleyball
• Volleyball is replayed in 2 contact, high or low
• The tennis ball is then replayed in 1 contact, low if the volleyball comes high, high if the volleyball comes low

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Variation on previous exercise
• If the volleyball is played high, it must be replayed directly in 1 contact (tennis ball is played low at the same time).
•  If the volleyball is played low, it will be replayed in 2 contacts

Per 2 opposite each other:

• Play ball as long as possible towards each other with only the arms.

• There are 2 lines with persons on the end line and 2 attackers on the 3m line at both sides. 
• The player right back walks to the middle of the field and gets a ball thrown by the player left back. 
• The player gives a set up to the attacker on the 3m line. 
• This attacker tries to attack the ball over the net to the best of his abilities. 
• This exercise stimulates a not-perfect set up given from the back field. 
• The goal is that the attacker is still able to play the ball over the net with some pressure.
