Points of attention:
- Block shields position 1 and 2. After the pass/defense cover -don't do nothing-.
- Make good choices in game distribution.
- Efficiency training: 20 balls 10 x service & 10x defense.
When everyone has had their turn in this way, we do the exercise in mirror image.

The exercise expands and proceeds successively in this way:
The exercise expands and proceeds successively in this way:
On one side of the field everyone plays straight and on the other side everyone plays diagonally so that the ball "goes around.
- Underarm passes within 3 meters and immediately pass overhead to the other side. Then run after the ball.
- Same, only now the ball is not passed on, but instead a setup is given.
- The 2nd person plays the ball overhand over the net.
- The one who gave the setup runs on and the one who played the ball over the net goes back to pass.
- Same, only now both persons are going to defend. The field runs to the double back line, 6 meters.
- The ball is passed in jump to the opposite side. This may be long and short and it is up to the two defenders to solve this.
- The one who jumps the ball goes after it.
- Idem, only now the attacker is calm and defensible. Everything else remains the same, so the attacker rotates after the ball.
The pairs, as they stand now, stay together.
- First a game is played on half-field straight.
- Then the winners and losers play against each other on half field diagonally. Back line is 6 meters.
- Games are played to 10 points.
