Ball War

  • Divide the group in 2
  • Give everyone a ball
  • At the signal of the trainer you roll your ball to the other side
  • Then you have to roll the balls back to your side
  • At the end of the game you have to make sure that there are as few balls on your side as possible


The emphasis here is on sitting low, which is useful for pass triangulation

Two groups - 1 catcher at position 3 - trainer at other side with cart to pass ball to

  • 1 hurdle at position 1 on backline
  • 1 hurdle at position 5 on backline
  • 2 hurdles in front of each other - one at the same height as hurdles 1 and 5, one hurdle 1m behind


Jumping over hurdle for player - quickly backwards diagonally and jump over two hurdles

  • Come from position 5 - ball arrives at position 5
  • Come from position 1 - ball arrives at position 1


Reception play to catcher - reception player becomes catcher - catcher puts ball in cart - catcher becomes booking

OBJECTIVE:

  • Trainer knocks to start on ball = sign that player may start jumping
  • Don't knock anymore = next player starts when previous player is over 2nd hurdle
  • Ball must land perfectly on position 3
  • Presence of many players = high tempo of the exercise

This exercise is incorporated into each workout and the numbers are gradually increased

  • Sit-Ups
  • Crunches
  • Leg Raises
  • Plank
  • Play a game of volley tennis against each other.
  • At lower levels the ball is allowed to bounce once, at higher levels it can be played in one go.
  • As soon as you lose a point you have to run circles around the court.
  • Until 2 remain, these play a final.
drawing Volley tennis
  • 4 Swedish benches are placed in a square.
  • A maximum of balls are placed in the square.
  • 2 or 3 players stand in the square and try to throw as many balls as possible out of the square during one minute.
  • The other players of the team run after the balls and throw them back into the square.
  • After one minute the team checks how many balls are still in the square.

Divide group into two/three teams.
