- Do not want to score, but keep the ball in play, play "on" the person and make long rallies.
- Hit the 3rd ball as much as possible. Play overhand to keep the rally going.
- Starting position:
- 2 players in the court, 1 on the back line "waiting room" on both sides.
- Ball is brought in from 2-3 meters with toss and attacking stroke=> back 5-7 meter position.
- Passer becomes attacker. so after pass immediately to 3 meters and then attack.

- Trainer makes choice in which part of the field to serve: left or right, short or deep.
Game:
- Serving from two sides.
- Chasing your ball and moving pawn.
- Rejoin your own team.
Pawn movement:
- If the server serves in the right part => the pawn moves to where the ball hit the ground. You make the goal area smaller.
- If the server does not serve in the correct part => then the pawn moves 1 meter towards the center of the field. Target area bigger.
- Exercise on time => for example 5 minutes.
- Team that has the smallest goal area after 5 min wins!
Then again with other part of the field.
- Conditioning with ball at high intensity
- Everyone does each exercise once
- If there are 7 people, 1 group has a rest

Short description picture:
- 1b plays ball to SV.
- Who gives Set up to 1a.
- 1a enters field to defend later.
- 1a calmly attacks to 2a/b who defend.
- The player not defending runs to the net.
- SV gives Setup to 2 who in turn calmly attacks 1.
- Then again. 1b goes under the net to help defend.
Variation:
- With 4 players the matching 2 to the next attack is matching 1.
- Quiet attack alternate with prod balls.
- Groups of 3 people of approximately equal height.
- The thrower pays attention to the correct steps:
- Short, Long, Connect, Take arms with jump.
- Attacker asks for higher/lower ball to get the timing right.
- Defender determines start of exercise.
Setting:
- One ball per 3-team.
- 2 Blockers face each other at the net.
- Setter next to 1 of the blockers.
Rotation:
- Defender determines start, countdown = 3-2-1 block => try => hands touch each other above the net.
- Defender => shuffle backwards to about 5-6 meter position -speed !
- Attacker => fast to the 3 meters ready for attack.
- Throw up => almost straight up on indication of height attacker.
- Attacker => straight up calm stroke.
- Defender => Pass up and catch.
- Thrower to other side of the net.
- Same principle but mirrored.
- 5x attack per person so 10x toss up.
- Mutual exchange, 3x total, everyone is the thrower once.
Practice attack run a few times with a few runs beforehand.
Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.
Then do this exercise in pairs:
Attention => short long short, slant run, take your arms into the jump, try to get as high as possible.
