  • for ball so who gets the ball the fastest
• Everyone stands through their knees towards each other.

• 4 gives setup on 1 and 1 plays BH to 2. 2 defends to 3,
• 3 sets up 2 and 2 plays BH to 1,
• 1 defends on 4 and it starts all over again.

• After 3 and 4 have given 5 setups they are exchanged,
• The challenge is to do this while keeping the ball in play.
• If this goes well the team will attack technically instead of playing BH.

• Speed ladder is from the back line towards the net, in the middle of the field.
• Players move every round with a different movement pattern for the footwork through the speed ladder towards the net, then a block at position 3, move to position 2 or 4 (alternate) and a block again there.
• Then immediately step out to the defensive position on the 3-m line (with the cross move, immediately adopt a low stance and weight on the front feet).
• After the defensive position two options: either shuffle backwards towards the baseline or make a diving roll towards the baseline.
• Depending on the team and fitness level, increase the number of rounds the players have to make.

• 3 teams,
  • 2 with ball at the net,
  • 1 without ball at the backline flat on belly.
• Net player 1 hits ball, defender stands up and defends attack at about 6 meters,
  • Afterwards short ball on 3 meter by net player 2.
• Repeat 2 series of 20 balls (so 10x attack and 10x short).

• 10 x attack and score
  • this may be done in any way, hard/smart

• As soon as the ball is struck, the blocking player moves from position 3 and joins the blocking player at position 2, after which the thrown or struck ball is blocked
• The player who threw the ball becomes a reserve, the reserve takes over position 3, the blocking player at position 3 takes over position 2, the player at position 2 goes to get the ball and becomes a reserve at the throw/strike
