• take steps from the 3 meter line and throw the tennis ball with attack technique.
• exercise can be made more difficult with volleyball
  • try to own throw + stroke
  • pass + stroke

Part 1:

• At the position where the attacker would normally pass the ball over, a basket is placed.
• by means of a high key the ball is played into the basket
• make it more difficult by adding an extra pass BH or OH

Part 2:

• instead of the basket the attacker makes the move but does not hit!
• catching the ball overhead with the striking hand behind the ball

Part 3:

• pass and strike

Exercise on stroke

• per 2 players one hoop and one tennisball
• try to play the tennis ball into the hoop with an overhand throw, pay attention to the wrist movement
• the difficulty can be determined by increasing the distance to the hoop.
• afterwards with a volleyball
• next step throw and hit yourself

Basic exercise:

• Trainer throws ball, player catches ball and puts it in the cart.
• After this the player goes to the ladder. Here he goes through it and joins the next row.

Differentiation/Extension:

• Throwing the ball in a difficult way (left and right, front and back).
• Playing underhand and catching for themselves.
• Two players stand ready next to each other and have to call loose.
• A setupper comes on and has to catch the underhand ball.
• An attacker arrives and has to play the ball from the setupper over the net.

You go in the running pass to the net and back to the back line.

• To the net you swing your left arm forward and back to the baseline your left arm back.
• Now you do the same as step 1 but with your right arm.
• Now you go heel-toe, this means that your heels have to touch your buttocks, you do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands behind against your buttocks. You do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands against the back of your buttocks.
• Now you are going to lift your knee, this is when you lift your knees to 90 degrees, the height of your hips. You do this with a straight back (chest out), towards the net and back to the baseline.
• You are now going to do the sideways pass, this means that you look with your body to one side and move sideways. You do this in the same way as the shuffle. If you go from the net back to the baseline you turn around again.
• Finally you do the cross pass, this means that you look with your body to one side and cross your legs, your arms move with you from left to right.

• You stand about 3 meters from a wall, you do the attack run. (attack pass) Short-long- close pass (brake pass).
• If you get too close to the wall with the brake pass, you have to look at how big your 2 previous passes were.
• With the brake pass/ close pass you make sure your striking hand touches the wall (don't put too much force on it)
• You take your arms with you, so with the short arms to the front, with long arms to the back, with the brake pass bring your arms up.
• Pay attention:
  • Make sure you don't end up too close to the wall.
  • Or that you hit the wall with your face.
  • Also keep an eye on your technique and how your feet end up.
