5. Extend to playing BH + attacking (still coming from a row, but now with 1 game already in the field)



  • Make up pairs.
  • Stand opposite each other, not too far apart.
  • Pass the ball overhead to each other.
  • While continuing to pass to each other, increase the distance between them by taking a step backwards.
  • Continue to pass the ball to each other at the correct distance
  • When you have reached a large distance, reduce the distance again
  • Make up pairs.
  • Stand opposite each other, not too far apart.
  • Pass the ball overhead to each other.
  • While continuing to pass to each other, increase the distance between them by taking a step backwards.
  • Continue to pass the ball to each other at the correct distance
  • When you have reached a large distance, reduce the distance again
  • Make up pairs.
  • Stand opposite each other, not too far apart.
  • Pass the ball overhead to each other.
  • While continuing to pass to each other, increase the distance between them by taking a step backwards.

  • Passers on position 5 and 6
  • Attacker on the left front side
  • sv at position 2-3
  • Trainer throws ball to passers
  • Passer gives pass to SV at position 2/3
  • SV passes ball BH to left front player
  • There is a two man block
  • Catcher on the opposite side
  • on the other field there are 5 hoops
    • 1 in all corners of the field and 1 in the middle of the field
  • player runs in and tries to play ball into the hoop
  • if successful, SV and playerhave apoint.
  • If the ball is blocked, the blockers have a point.
  • After 10 attacks change


After 10 minutes we make it more difficult:

A block is added, the outside player closes the block diagonally (left hand at attacker's arm).

The blocker also gets points (touching the ball = 1, killing block = 2).

The children head the ball over so they can see that the ball must be in the right place on the head otherwise it will go the wrong way. This also applies to the hands.


  • trainer or player throws in at the centre (possibly a ribbon to mark the net)
  • player walks in from the right and gives set-up in the basket
  • fetch own ball and give it to the trainer/ put it in the ball pit.
  • Do the exercise from the left as well. Then SETUP BACKwards.
