then change and then 5 against 5

Coach throws in the ball:

first pass (un-call) and catch

then pass and set-up catch

then pass, set-up and play over the net

then pass, set-up and smash

In pairs:

throwing in (throw over 2 arms, 1 arm left and right, bounce idem, hit)

Overlap, 40X

  • relay measurement. so which group finishes first?

    2. through the hoop
    3. slalom through poles
    4. 3x push-ups
    5. 10x jump with 2 legs on the bench
    6. touch the next one
    7. ATTENTION: to smuggle is to start over with the part (not the whole course of course)
  • 2 rows of players
    • 1 row on the left back
    • 1 row at the right back
  • 1 SV
  • create with 3 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand.
  • trainer stands at the other side of the net and throws the ball somewhere in the field.
  • 1 of the 2 front rows calls LOS orI (agree on this) and plays the ball to SV
  • This one calls new SV
  • SV takes ball and puts ball in ball pit
  • SV joins one of the rows


Then a row of attackers on the outside and a regular SV joins them

Pass to SV, who gives a set-up to the outside, attacker retrieves ball.
