- Players with hoop on field A on 7m-line
- Players hold the hoop with 2 hands
Execution:
- Trainer throws the ball in an arc over the net
- Player comes in and puts the hoop on the spot where the ball is going to fall
- Same as 1, but catches the ball with 2 hands at navel height
- Same as 2, but now plays the ball underhand.
- Red players start from the middle (fists against each other).
- Walk/shuffle towards the sideline and pass the ball back to blue.
- Then return to starting position (match element who is first to be ready again).
- Fists together again and then the same round.
- 4/5 rounds then
- Blue -> red.
- Red -> blue.
- 1 player at position 2.
- 1 player on position 3.
- Coach or player on position 4.
- Rest of the players in a line behind the back line at position 1.
- Player at position 2 throws a deep ball.
- Player passes back.
- Player at position 3 throws a short ball inside the three meter line.
- Player passes back ball.
- Player/coach at position 4 hits or throws a deep ball.
- Player passes it back and joins the back of the row again.
- Don't forget to pass regularly!
- 1 server, on the other side of the field 3 passers, with behind them again 3 passers who are ready.
- The server taps the ball, the passers run to the middle line, run backwards and the server serves.
- Play 3 times, everyone on the field.
- Change positions.
- Then with back to server, taps the ball, passers run into the field after which the server serves.
- Trainer throws-serves ball to passer.
- A passes ball to midfield position.
- B stands at the basket and catches the ball and brings it to the trainer and then joins the back of the line.
- A becomes B.
- There is one passer in the field at position [6].
- The trainer or a playmaker stands with the balls at the net at position [3].
- The ball is introduced by hitting or pricking and there is a variation in short/long and hard/soft.
- The passer keeps the ball from the ground (prio 1) and provides the pass to [2/3] (prio 2) where the ball is caught by a team mate.
- This exercise can be played in two variants.
- A. [suitable for large teams]
- After the pass, a new player is rotated into the field and the passer joins the back of the line.
- High tempo!
- The team can be split in two, so that one team always picks up the balls from the other team.
- B. [suitable for small teams]
- The passer remains standing.
- He quickly takes up his position again after the pass and processes a new ball (10 in total).
- The other players spread out to collect the balls.
- After 10 passes the passer takes off and the ball is passed.
- High tempo!
- Explanation:
- 2 teams of 3 players
- Per team 3 volleyballs (different balls so you can tell the difference, 2 'baby' and 1 'normal' ball)
- The team must play the 'normal' ball over the net in 3 times and meanwhile the 'babies' are thrown over.
- Each player may only touch the 'normal' ball once!
- (When a player has played the 'regular' ball, he gets a 'baby' thrown to him)
- Starting positions:
- Mid-back has no ball. Mid-back has no ball (he passes the ball to the distributor).
- Distributor gives a set-up on the outside.
- 3rd player plays the ball over the net. (At first do not attack, only if it goes well!)
- The goal is to play the ball in threes. This requires the commitment of every player.
- So line up three players.
- They solve a thrown ball (by the trainer), by playing in threes.
- The first ball is passed to the upper-position.
- The 2nd player, who has the job of upper-player, runs to the upper-place.
- The 3rd player then prepares for the attack.
- At first keep the ball on one side of the net, by not actually hitting the 3rd ball, but catching it.
- Then 3 other players move in to do the same.
- On the other side of the net, the same is practiced with the other half of the team.
- After a while, when the ball is regularly played in threes, the ball is actually played to the other side.
- The team on the other side then plays the ball back in threes.
- And so on; play over as long as possible.
- No scoring, it's about playing in threes.
- Organisation: Make three teams with one ball.
- Execution:
- 2 players stand opposite each other at approx. 5m.
- The third player is "distributor" and stands to the right of the passer.
- Player 1 plays brace to 2nd player and he passes the ball to the right, where the Sv is standing.
- This gives player 2 a setup, which is attacked on player 1.
- Meanwhile, Sv runs to the right side of player 1 to receive the pass there.
- Ball at the net, player on the back line.
- Short ball, 3 metres.
- Shuffle back.
- Long ball 7 meters.
- 6 short balls.
- 5 long balls.
- Last short ball is pancake.
- Important:
- First walk (arms loose and not extended), then stretch and pass.
- Stand still when passing but continue the exercise.
- Throwing (2 players at the same time)
- Move from the left- and right-back to the middle 3-meter and pass; 8 balls 7.

- Per trio two players at the net with a ball.
- Player A hits the ball (overhand) for a pass before the backline.
