drawing Ball pats 1 hand
  • Two teams on both sides.
  • After every well played ball, turn in three.
  • Pass obliquely if you don't have a complete team.

.

  • First ball: serve side b

  • 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.

  • Let's see how easy it goes.

Two rows on the 3m line, edge of the field.

  • 1 player overhead, 1 player underhand
  • In the lower hands 1x for yourself, pass in the upper hands
  • Mandatory 1x for yourself, controlled pass

play-within-3-meters

  • It is only allowed to play overhand
  • Before the ball goes over the net each player must have hit the ball once (so in total the ball is played 3 times).
  • A goal can only be scored inside the 3-meter line. If the ball falls outside the field, or behind the 3-meter line, it is a point for the opponent.

Nice exercise to learn to place the ball overhead within the 3-meter range and to play your teammates with precision overhead.

The one who makes a mistake is replaced by the reserve.
