A game of 1 against 1 on a six meter long field
- Basisoefening:
- Player A tries to score a point against player B

- The ball being played is, from now on, a hard overarm contact.
- Variation 2:
- The second contact is a soccer contact (head, knee, shoulder, breast, foot).
- Variation 3:
- Build up has to be done in 3 times.
- Ball 1 = Underhand
- Ball 2 = overarm
- Ball 3 = Attack or tip
- Build up has to be done in 3 times.
