  • There is one scapegoat and one victim.
  • The other players stand in groups of two, spread over the room.
  • The groups of two stand behind each other, with their faces in the same direction.
  • The scapegoat tries to tap the victim.
  • The victim may join a group of two at the back, but then the first one in line becomes the new ticker and the old ticker becomes the new victim.
  • If the scapegoat can tap the victim, the roles are also reversed.

Purpose of exercise:
To teach the body that you should never give up.

Exercise Explanation:

  • In volleyball, we are so conditioned that after the ball hits the ground, everyone stops playing.
  • Because of this, you sometimes get players to lower their heads before the ball hits the ground.
  • Through this very fun game form, you teach your body to just keep going after the bounce.
  • You will see that your body gets used to never giving up.


  • You are playing a game.
  • When the ball hits the ground, you go after it, while you, as coach, count how many times it hits the ground before the ball is finally played up.
  • Suppose Team A has got the ball up after 6 bounces, then they have to pass, set-up and attack 6 times.
  • Points are awarded when the ball no longer bounces but rolls and when the ball has bounced a total of 20 times.
  • So trainer, you will have to count!
  • Two teams one throws the ball up to the other
  • who picks it up underhand does one time for himself abovehand
  • and then a quiet smash hit so that the other picks it up underhand
  • and does the same.
  • This exercise is done in pairs, standing about 4 meters apart.
  • One player rolls the ball to the other.
  • The latter must stop the ball with two hands behind his/her back.
  • In this way, the player can only stop the ball in a low forward position: shoulders in front of the knee, knee in front of the feet.
  • Make sure you understand that the exercise is for learning to adopt a low posture when passing / defending.
  • Physically, this exercise is very taxing on the legs, so don't do it for 5 minutes, but play three series of 10 balls.
