Positions:
- Trainer at mid forward, to throw to, but do keep space to net so player can pass behind.
- 1 Player without ball on Setter spot = 1st catcher.
- Player is the passer who will pass 10 good balls
- Other players with ball next to trainer for passing and catching
- The exercise runs best with about 5-6 players.
Organization:
- Passer is given balls successively thrown at:
- P1, P6, P5, P4, P2 regardless of whether the ball is good => through to next position.
- Then balls at random position, trainer determines difficulty, until there have been 5 good passes.
- After 5th good pass => Player quickly to P6, ready on front feet.
- Last pass comes from P6 , on a 'beaten' ball.
- Continue until there is a 6th good pass.
Other player:
- Always give ball to trainer and straight to setter spot to catch off.
- Ball not good, quickly retrieve and join the line.
- All players have a ball.
- Divide the group into two - maximum 4 to 5 players per group.
- Near the net is the ball pit.
Exercise per group:
- Play up overhead in front of yourself and keep playing.
- Slowly move towards the net, keep playing up.
- Overhand: Play up high, quickly get under the ball, stand still and then play.
- At the net: => play the ball IN the ball pit. The distance does not matter.
- Ball on the ground => start again from the back line.
Same exercise can be done with underhand play up to the net + play IN the ball box.
For the better players there can be a third round:
- Ball bin on the back line of the other field, players must now pass the net. Play over it, themselves under it. Underhand or overhead no longer matters, as long as the back line is crossed.
