Purpose of the exercise:
- To focus, communicate, master the task and persevere.
- At "A" and above, with fewer people on the field for more intensity.
Explanation of the exercise:
- 'Chaos Easy' starts as a warm-up, but ends as a true battle.
- The players are placed in the field (it doesn't matter where).
- The ball is caught and immediately thrown over the net (one play).
- As the player catches, he throws the ball.
- When a player has thrown the ball, he/she goes to a wall (back of the field or on the side) and taps it, then comes back into the field.
- The other players on the team have moved forward one spot.
- You notice how difficult it is to score.
- When someone throws the wrong ball (into the net or out), they have to sprint around the opponent's field.
Duration of the exercise:
- 5-10 minutes.

Divide the team into two groups and have them form two rows facing each other on the 3 meter line.
Have the players play over the net and then run around the net post to join the other group.

Place a speedfoot ladder on one side, parallel to the sideline, and have the players do an exercise through the ladder before joining the row.
It is possible to extend this with block jumps, attacking passes or strength exercises.
Important is that the ball should not fall on the ground, communication is important.
If necessary, add a sanction when the ball falls on the ground.
Alternate between underhand and overhand.

Purpose of exercise:
- Improve motor speed.
Explanation of the exercise:
- Make a square of benches and throw in all the balls you have.
- Place two players in the square and the rest around them.
- At the sign of the trainer the two players will try to throw all balls out of the square.
- The rest of the players have to throw all the balls back into the square.
- After 60 seconds the exercises are stopped and the two players count the number of balls in the square.
- The winner is the one who has the least number of balls in the square.
- Everyone takes their turn.
Duration of the exercise:
- 20-25 min.

responsiveness

The purpose of the exercise is to train the defender A in his reaction ability as well as to work together in handling the ball.
Important for this exercise:
- EVERYTHING is touche!
The ball that is played/tossed by the trainer (high and far; not hit!) is allowed to come well outside the lines, because the ball must be handled as if it jumped off the block.
A. stands with his back to the net and concentrates on the defenders B/C.
If the ball is played by T/Sv. then either B or C demands the ball ("LOS!") and moves to play the ball.
A. sprints after B/C and offers himself vocally ("HERE!").
B/C must be able to hear where A is before playing the ball.
B/C plays the ball high to A and A plays the ball well inside the 3-metre box. T./Sv. makes the catch.
If there are 8 or more players, this exercise can be done at both ends; if there are less than 8 players, it is played at one end and B/C rotate with players waiting outside the lines.
In that case, work at a high tempo so that nobody stands still for too long.
A. changes after 5 or 10 balls; every player takes the position A. twice.
NOTE: The exercise goes at a high tempo!
When A. has handled the ball, the next ball follows immediately.
It is up to the player turning in the ball to get in position in time!
Expansion:
- Place a basket on a spot of your choice within the 3-meter section.
- The second ball must touch the basket (top) or go through the basket.

Coach stands in the middle at the net.
Three players are standing in the field.
Trainer throws/plays the ball to the players.
It does not matter how they do it, but the ball must arrive at the trainer.
Trainer may not take more than one step to get the ball.
The ball can also be played to the trainer in two or three times.
When there are 7 or more players the same thing can be done at the other side, but then instead of a trainer there is a player at the net.
It is important to make sure that the ball is passed to the trainer.
If there are extra players, someone can stand in the queue.
If the ball falls to the ground, the substitute will take that spot. (In the case of a large difference in level of play the substitution can be made as well).
