Side a: formationSide
b: someone position 6 - position 5 and position 1

OBJECTIVE
: Side a gets every ball against and tries to score from this situation
.

  • First ball: serve side b
  • Second ball: freeball coming from side b (side b builds up and tries to pass "difficult" freeball)
  • Third ball: attack position 6
  • Third ball: attack position 1


  • Side a is not allowed to place the ball in the 3m line at side b, everything behind the 3.
  • But side b is allowed to attack in the 3m line.
  • Let's see how easy it goes.


Per 3 - working in rows - 1 ball

  • 1 person on 3 meter line with ball - serve
  • 1 person at the net - catch the ball
  • 1 person on 3 meter line without ball - reception


OBJECTIVE:

  • Hit 10 balls per person - float
    • First ball: serve from 3 meters to reception at 3 meters
    • Second ball: pass from 5 meter to reception at 5 meter
    • Third ball: pass from backline to reception at 5 meter

A team of servers and a team of passers

The passers work as follows:

  • 3 passers, 1 playmaker, 2 passers in the waiting room
  • Passers make a pass formation and pass the ball to the 2/3 position
  • Playmaker catches ball and rolls it to the players
  • The passer goes to the 2/3 position to catch the ball
  • The catcher tries to play the ball 2x for himself
  • The MA, if not passing, takes the position of the passer (LA or RA), if the MA is passing then RA/LA remain standing
  • The person in the waiting room takes the position of the MA


The server throws the ball up, catches it with one hand and throws it over the ball (DUS NOT SERVING).
