Because the balloons move more slowly and feel softer, they are ideal for practice.

First 1 child with 1 balloon:

• Keep the balloon in the air.
• Punch up as low as possible.
• Hit as hard as possible.
• Hit over the net, child underneath, and continue on the other side.
• etc etc.

Then 2 teams with 1 balloon:

• Basically the same tasks as with 1 child, but now they have to take turns hitting the balloon.
• So the children have to work together and see how they can make it easier for each other.

1 balloon each:

• Now you can also practice the service and pass.
• The balloon is not as hard as a ball and the children have time to stand up properly before the balloon comes down again.

This exercise is best done with several trainers (e.g. trainer + assistant trainer) and space in the gym.

• Equipment: balls, 3 rings (or pawns/mats)
• Format: divide field in 3 areas
• This exercise is divided into increasing levels of difficulty so that each player can perform the exercise at their own level. This way the exercise remains fun and challenging for everyone.

Two teams with one ball and stand on the side line. Player 1 moves to the other side of the line, while checking. There you roll the ball back to player 2.

Trainers throw the ball to over the net and player tests the ball for himself. Catch the ball and bring it to the trainer and then join the back of the line.

If this goes well then try to key 2x, catch ball and via bra throw ball over the net. Then you dive under the net and get the ball and bring it to the trainer.

The same, but now try to test and catch the ball yourself. So after the bounce, test.

Team formation and emphasize turning after each ball Look at the opponent and know where you are going so you can dream! Serve, catch and throw over the net. Also have them throw into the holes and not into the opponent's hands. So watch and move!!!

Serving

Emphasis on flat tight hand, stretched arm and right leg in front. Give instructions for this during the training! Only these 3

Two teams with one ball and serve to each other calmly. The other team scores the ball for themselves.

3 pawns diagonally in the field. The children all have 1 ball and serve to the^1st pawn closest to the net. If you get it right twice, you may go to the next pawn. Get the ball yourself! You are standing near the pawns so you can give them the right accents.

Trainer stands in front of the net and player in the back of the field. They throw the ball back to the trainer via oh technique and then touch the middle line and go under the net. There is a bench there which they walk over and then along the field back to the line.

Idem, only now they pass the ball back to the trainer. Pay attention to the outstretched arms and that they hit the ball low. Keep your knees and buttocks back. If they stand up straight, they hit the ball too high and it will hang or go over their head.

2 teams play via overhead throw technique ball over the net. Catch the ball also overhead and stay like this for 2 counts. The person who threw the ball, taps the middle line quickly and gets ready again.

Now one person throws the ball via an overhand motion and the other immediately returns it. The one who plays overhand back, taps the center line.

Player with bucket above his court stands on the middle position. Trainer throws the ball and the player catches the ball and throws the ball directly into the bucket. Trainer stands next to player with bucket. Make sure it's a flowing movement!

Player throws up the ball for himself via underhand, technical throwing motion. Player has 1 leg in front, arms extended, slightly to the side of the body and throws up and catches.

Now player throws ball up the same way and then keys it and then catches.

2 rows. Players stand at the back of the field with ball. Trainers stand at the net. Player throws via underhand throw to trainer. Trainer fends off and then throws the ball to the same player. Player tests the ball directly back to the trainer and tries to get to the trainer faster than the ball.

Idem, only now the player doesn't hit back directly but hits for himself twice and catches the ball and joins the back of the line again.

On the backline there are 3 rows, each player has a ball, carry out the assignment:

Task 1: Roll the ball for yourself and if the fall is over a be[aalde line (which the trainer decides) then you may start to stop your ball.

Task 2: Throw the ball forward and catch it overhand. Really above your head with hands in a bowl. Move from A to B.

Task 3: The same, but now backwards.
