Long Short
Goal of the exercise:
- Quickly handle two balls being saved.
- Play 2 balls in quick succession and then move 1 position.
Explanation of the exercise:
- Passer learns to pass diagonally backwards a deep ball and immediately afterwards a short ball (this is how the passer learns to make large angles).
- Playmaker must look for the next ball immediately after the first set-up.
- Attacker, after landing, must go backwards as quickly as possible to make another attack.
- Trainer can indicate where the balls should be hit, determine the pace of set-ups or that passer should do attack coverage immediately after first pass to then pass the second ball.
