A and b stand at the net and c stands opposite a. A throws ball to c and c keys diagonally to b, etc etc ....

  • In pairs with 1 ball. Player at the net throws the ball to the player in the back and he passes it back. If the pass is good you can continue to play overhead but be strict! 20 balls then change.
  • The same, only now you get short/long bales thrown at you. So the back player has to move forwards/backwards.

Trainer throws ball over net/or calmly strikes a. A tests to b who stands on playmaker spot. B plays ball into the basket. Accent is on the passer.

Player stands at the net with bucket above his head, may move a little but do not bend over. Trainer stands on the backline with a row of players with the ball next to him. Trainer throws ball randomly in the field and player puts ball in bucket. Make it more and more difficult.
