See picture. Take turns throwing the ball. After throwing the ball touch the back line and go back to the same spot.

Throwing good? Then all underhand. Later all above hands.

To practice jumping make 2 pairs.
It's not about the run up but purely about the jump.

1 of the 2 sits on the ground with the feet straight ahead and the arms spread.
The other jumps for example over the right arm after that over the legs and then again over left arm. (5 rounds and then switch)




  • All 1 ball and first try to play overhead on 1 spot, then
  • All 1 ball and hit the ground against the wall.
  • Hit the ball so your wrist is over the ball.
  • Remember to get out and both arms in the air.
  • Walk slowly to the other side of the hall.
  • One player indicates with a "Yes" that the other players have to do an assignment.
  • On the way back another player gives the assignments.
    The assignments can be made up by the players themselves. Until everyone has been.
  • Squats with arm swing, bend the knees (weight backwards as if you are sitting on a chair) swing the arms downwards and as soon as you come up with the arms again, the body comes up to the toes.
  • Handwalk. Put your hand flat on the ground and walk as far as you can with your hands in front of you, walk back with your hands under the shoulder, press up and walk with your feet to the hands
  • Loose twist and stretch + penalty bench
  • 3 teams of 3
  • on each half 1 team stands
  • the other team is in reserve
  • in case of a point, the team that won stays in place, the other team changes.
  • 2x running
  • 2x sideways
  • 2x cross pass
  • 2x heels buttocks
  • 2x knee lifts
  • 10/15 count abs/arm muscles
  • 15 sit-ups
  • 5/10 push-ups

Play the ball underarm.

  • Accent on foot position (wide and 1 leg before and after the pass)
  • Arms straight and still when passing - right leg before and after the pass - step out on the left for the follow-up action
  • Also use the knees


Two teams in the length of the field.
Pass the ball at the net 10 times at 6 mtr and the player at 6 mtr passes the ball back.
Coach each other when things are not going well and indicate whether the ball is good or not.



Make 3 or 4 teams (depends on the amount of players).
1 player on 7mtr line and 2 at the net.

  • Player 1 plays the ball overhand to player 2 (7mtr).
  • Player 2 plays the ball underarms to player 3 (net)
  • Player 3 plays the ball overhand again to player 1.

If the exercise is running player 1 can hit the ball overhand (quietly).
