  • on both sides of the net.
    • Players play a game in which the ball has to be played at once over the net
    • If you have played the ball, you skip sideways towards the cone, touch it, and join the back of the line.
      • if the group is larger than three, it can be expanded with block and then backwards  to the cone)
    • If you can get the ball on the ground in the opponent's field close to the side line (trainers decide whether it is close enough), the opponents have to walk around their opponent's field.
  • Divide the group in two
  • We use two halve fields per group.
  • Everybody gets a peg on his knee protector.
  • The idea is to collect as many pegs as possible by taking them from someone else.
  • The exercise is intended to sit low, which on the front feet, improve feet work, and get warm.
  • A first there is one tagger
  • The tagger has to tag as much children as possible.
  • As soon as someone is tagged, he becomes a crab.
  • The crab has to move on hands and feet with the belly upwards.
  • As soon as a crab has tagged a walker, the crab is free again.
  • After some time, someone else is appointed as tagger.
