• 2 teams
• overhead transfer
• first time for yourself up then to your teammate

• the system is:
  • if 2 or 3 plays the first ball, 4 runs to the front of the team to set up a setup
  • when 1 or 4 plays the first ball, 3 runs to the midfield to give a setup
• put the team on the right positions
• coach hits the ball and throws/serves the ball over the net to the team
  • the first ball is claimed by a player (call LOS / I agree on that)
  • As soon as the ball is played by the trainer, it is clear to 3 and 4 whether it must go to the front.
  • So the player has to be in the position of the centre as soon as possible.
• if all goes well play on and set uppen ball along the net and 2nd ball over play
  • if necessary put a hoop where the ball has to go in.
• if it does not go well stop and
  • explain who should have called it loose etc
  • Did the playmaker walk on time. etc
• after every good ball turn
• if there are enough players available (> 4), use someone to get the ball at the trainer's side and put it in the box
• PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO:
  • playmaker right leg in front
• body first in direction of 1 where the ball comes from
• then the body turns through energy from the left foot along the net
• eventually the knees point over the feet in the direction of play

• Row 1 players ready to stop ball
• Row 2 players behind trainer with ball
  • Front pushes trainer ball in hand and joins row 1
• Trainer rolls ball and player from row 1:
  • Stops ball with right hand
  • Stops ball with left hand
  • Stops ball with foot
  • Runs around and sits in front of the ball, rolling the ball between the legs
  • Runs around it and lies down in front of the ball, holding it still with outstretched arms
• High tempo!

• Divide the group in 4 and divide them equally over position 1,2,3 and 4.
• There they make rows
• Trainer throws ball to 1 (possibly hit ball as sign)
  • 2 runs to the middle (because the ball comes from 1)
• 1 plays to midfielder
  • after playing the ball 1 walks to row 2
• 2 plays the ball along the net
  • when the ball is played, 2 goes to line at 3
• at the moment that 2 touches the ball 3 runs to the net
• 3 plays the ball quietly over the net to 4
  • after play 3 connects with row 1
• 4 gives the ball to the trainer
• after a couple of rounds replace 4.
• PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO:
  • playmaker right leg in front
  • body first in direction of 1 where the ball comes from
  • then the body turns through energy from the left foot along the net
  • eventually the knees point over the feet in the direction of play
• If necessary the next player in line 2 can check if the playmaker has his right foot in front during play.
  • If yes: then this one calls "GOOD".
  • If not: call out "FOOT".
  • (only do this if the exercise runs smoothly on its own)

the two of us. 1 works, other has rest

1. going up and down bench with 2 legs at the same time
2. bench up and down, alternately left and right
3. Push-ups, remember that their backs are straight.
4. Absorbent muscle: arms crossed, legs up, shoulders up 20 cm
5. Stand between 2 lines and move LAOW and touch the side lines
6. Jump over buddy and after landing crawl through the legs of your buddy

• 4 (or 6) cones per team
• Have them put the cones in the right place in the field.
• Have them discuss when both teams have finished evaluating:
  • Why did they put it this way?
• At the end of the day, make sure the cones are positioned correctly and throw a ball at certain spots
  • Who is the ball for?
  • Make clear that (in principle) only that person takes the ball.
  • The rest is busy with the second ball.
• Catch the second ball and roll it to the trainer.
• This exercise is about insight and understanding.
• Performing well is more important than performing fast.

• do this exercise 10 minutes
• if player plays OH 100 times, player enters CLUB of 100
• make a list with all players and 10 columns (10, 20, 30 etc)
• 2 players with 1 ball (preferably 2 players with the same milestone)
• player 1 as many keys as possible, player 2 counts
• if ball goes wrong, change
• at the end put a check mark behind his possible new milestone (10, 20, 30 etc)

with push-ups wedo more or less the same:

• let everyone in 1 session as many times as possible GOOD presses
• remember to have a straight back and nose (almost) on the ground
• they count each other again
• at the end of the session fill in any new PR in the column push-ups

This exercise assumes that the players know where they must stand and which zone is for them. So explain this well in advance

• Players stand in the correct zone
• Trainer serves/ throws the ball
• After every service, turn around.
• Serve only when they think they are in the right position
  • Also serve if they are not positioned correctly and serve on the uncovered position.
• They have to correct each other where they should stand.
• Throw a ball into a difficult zone every now and then. Who was this ball for?
• It's about recognizing your own zone. Who takes which ball? Call loose when in doubt etc
• Make clear agreements in advance!
