6-team plays out the rally:

Trainer plays:

  1. free ball over the net.
    • At that point, everyone runs according to the arrangements.
    • Left and right forwards who are at the net, ready for the block, walk to the back, to help with the pass, and to be ready for the run-up attack pass.
  2. ball to SV in own half.
    • This divides the game to the left and right.
    • Opposing team (6 team) responds to the attack.
    • SV connects with li/re in front to block. li/re who does not need to block moves to the back.
