Learning the pancake roll in 5 exercises:

1. dry practise, step-by-step (repeat 5 times) (
below describes a roll to the right; swap right/left for a roll to the left) - start position
underhand pass (sit low)
- step out one leg (right) to the side and bend the knee very deeply -
slide
(
right) hand over the ground diagonally right to the front (pancake)
- sink through until the right hip is on the ground -
swing
the legs
over the hips to the other side - during the swing
bend
the
stretched (left) leg and stretch the bent (right) leg - by the speed of the swing turn through
so that you come back in the underhand pass position

2. Get used to it (is also good to use as a warming-up exercise) -
start on the sideline facing the net -
roll to the other sideline
in three times
-
roll
back to the
first sideline
in three times
(or walk back if you want to learn the roll in one direction first)

3. gaining experience (repeat 5 times) -
pairs with 1 ball - thrower with
ball near the net, defender at 6 or 7 meter
- throw the ball, so that it lands on the ground 2 meters next to and 1 meter in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll (the roll is first more important than hitting the ball)

4. get accuracy -
trio or quartet with 2 or 3 balls (1 defender, the rest is throwing) - the throwers
stand on LV, MV and possibly on RV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the MV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll as well
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender again - the defender tries to hit
this ball with a pancake roll as well - after 5 times the
players rotate through on position

5. roll in both directions -
trio with 2 balls (2 throwers, 1 defender) - the throwers
stand on LV and MV, the defender stands on the sideline (LA)
- the MV throws the ball so that it hits the ground on the right side, 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender
- the defender tries to hit the ball with a pancake roll to the right
- as soon as the defender has finished the roll, the LV throws the ball so that it lands on the ground on the left side at 2 metres next to and 1 metre in front of the defender - the
defender tries to hit this ball with a pancake roll to the left - after 5 times the players
turn around
in
position

• A serves at B
• B plays into C
• C sets up and B plays over the net
• Run after own ball

• Make threes
• Each trio one ball.
• Player in the middle runs an 8. Every time this player comes in the middle a ball is thrown:
  • A throws (or plays overhand) the ball to B (in the middle).
  • B plays the ball back to A underhand and then runs around A until he is in the middle again.
  • A meanwhile passes the ball overhead to C.
  • C plays the ball overhand back to B.
  • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
  • Etc.
• After 2-3 minutes, the player in the middle changes.

Variation:

• To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
• To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.

2 teams.

• Throw the ball quickly and tactically over the net with the aim of hitting the ground within the lines before a defender can grab it.
• If you succeed in doing so, you earn 1 point.
• You have to throw the ball immediately after catching it, holding the ball is not allowed.
• Extension 1: After each action turn 1 position clockwise.
• Extension 2: After each throwing action, walk to the net and touch it before you can go back.
• Game to e.g. 5 points or best of 3/5/7 or certain fixed time.

• Make 2 teams of about 5 children.
• Each team stands on one side of the field.
• Place 5 balls on both 3meter lines.
• When the trainer calls "GO!" everyone starts throwing the balls to the other side.
