    • the first player throws the ball
    • and it is caught by A and thrown back.
  • 2nd player throws a short ball,
    • A walks forward and catches the ball and throws it back.

  • Passing.
  • The team is divided into groups of 6.
  • 4 children serve, 2 children catch.
    • The children stand up one by one (start short, as it gets better we stand up further and further).
    • On the other side of the net are 2 children who must catch the ball. They have to call out if they want to catch it.
    • We do this 5 times, then we pass. (Children who catch the ball will serve, 2 of the serving children will catch the ball.
  • When we get it right, we'll take it a step further.
    • The child that does not catch the ball walks to the net (place will be indicated) and stands crosswise to the net.
    • Child who caught the ball throws it in a curve to the child who stands at the net and this child catches the ball overhand and rolls the ball back to the server.
    • This is done 5 times and then the ball is passed to the other players.
  • When we get it right, we'll take it one step further.
    • Same as last exercise but this time the one who goes to the net doesn't roll the ball back but throws it overhand to player 2.
    • who in the meantime also walked to the net (place will be indicated).
    • He catches the ball and rolls it to the server.
    • This is done 5 times, after that the ball is passed to the other players.
  • When we get it right, we'll take it one step further,
    • Then the ball is not rolled back, but played overhand over the net.



  • Two pairs are made.
  • The players face each other. Player with ball has his back against the net, player without belly is in the middle of the square.
  • Player with ball knocks on the ball, at this moment the player at the back stands up quickly because the ball is thrown into the field and must be caught overhand or underhand.
  • The ball is thrown back to the player at the net in an arc underhand/overhand and starts over.
  • We do this 5 times each.
  • In the middle of the field a large square is made with 4 benches. Here 2 players stand.
  • All balls are distributed in the hall and the other players are waiting for the trainer.
  • When the trainer says start, the players must try to get as many balls as possible into the square.
  • The 2 players who are in the square throw the balls back out again.
  • After 1 minute the trainer checks how many balls are still in the square.
  • ATTENTION:
    • You may only throw 1 ball at a time in or out of the square!
  • Storage -> reception -> pass to 4 (diagonal) alternating with 2 (street) -> defence with 2
  • Variant: attack on 4 (street) alternating with 2 (diagonal) 7
  • Receptionists always turn around
  • After 2 good actions turn around
