Level:
- For 1st year D players, it is recommended that the trainer take the role of player Red in the beginning.

- Focused pass giving and receiving.
- Center player focus on accepting, handling ball and passing on.
Points of focus:
- In the forehand
- High stop
- Speed ball -width of field serve.
Extension exercise: middle player runs in and asks for the ball, accepts and turns around, passes the ball runs back quickly and offers again.
- One ball per pair.
- Pairs are instructed to pass through as many gates as possible in 2 minutes.
- A gate is completed when you pass the ball three times.
Goal:
- Taking out over the side
- Build up over the flank
- Get to the back line and then pass to goal
Points of attention:
- Playing the ball into the forehand.
- Moving behind the ball.
- Player plays the ball hard through push 1 ==> 2 runs directly after her/his pass
- Flattens the ball hard over long distance 2 ==> 3
- Drives the ball to the back line and passes to 4
- Takes to round at pace on goal
- A plays the ball to B
- B plays the ball to C
- C plays the ball to D
- D dribbles into the circle and finishes on goal
- B starts running around the pawn triangle
- At the middle pawn it gets the ball
- And then plays the ball back to A
- B runs further in
- It receives the ball in the backhand
- In the exercise from the other side, you are played into your forehand
- When B has taken the ball, he plays it to C
- C has run past the pawns in the meantime
- C takes the ball and runs past the pawns back to the dead ball line
- Passes the ball in front of the goal to B.
- B then rounds the ball into the goal
You can do this exercise on both sides of the pitch so that you can pass faster in succession.
- A starts with a ball and drives into the circle and rounds off
- B plays when A has rounded a ball to V1
- From here the 2 versus 2 starts
- When A and B conquer the ball, they can score in one of the goals on the side
- We always play 2 against 2
- Group 1 plays against group 2
- Group 3 stands ready with a ball, if the ball is out, or scored, group 3 may start, Group 1 then enters that box to defend
- Group 1 against group 3
- Group 4 is ready with a ball, ball out, or scored, group 4 starts with the ball and writes group 3 to defend
- Group 3 against group 4
- And so on
- A plays the ball to B
- B plays the ball to C who has run up to the green pawns
- C runs along the pawn line and passes the ball to A who has run through to the circle
- A then finishes on goal
You can perform this exercise on both sides.
- One ball per pair.
- Pairs are instructed to pass through as many gates as possible in 2 minutes.
- A gate is completed when you pass the ball three times.
