Some variations on the well known butterfly...:

• Service-pass-catch on SU-position, running after the ball.
• As everyone is chasing his/her ball, each player has a different task, but if desired, a player can have a fixed position.
• Variation 1:
  • The SU plays a set-up to position 4, where an attacker stands to play a (placed) attack on the receiver.
  • The rotation then becomes: Service -passer -upper - attacker - off-side - service etc.
• Variation 2:
  • the fixed SU plays a ball to a receiver 'somewhere' in the field, who makes himself known by calling 'here'.
  • The SU learns to react on sound, the receiver learns to communicate his position.
• Variation 3:
  • The fixed SU plays the pass backwards to position 2, where the receiver, after an attacking movement, catches the ball and starts serving.
  • In the diagram is variation 1

• Playmakers switch between themselves.
• Targeted attacking defender.
• Defender catches ball.
• Runs around pawn.

• Divide the group into 3 groups
• 1st group on 1 side of the net on the back line
• 2nd group other side at position 1-5-6
• 3rd group waiting room

• 1st group serves 3x on the same group
• 2nd group defends, must be in threes, these balls and attacks. All positions are allowed.
• 3rd group waiting room

• 1st group --> to the waiting room
• 2nd group --> serve
• 3rd group --> defend/attack

• Side one saves, defend on other side and try to score point against blockers with outs.
• Other 2 who do not have to save, can come in to defend in backfield.
• Have passers alternate as 'chameleons'.
