drawing Striking + defending
  • The trainer throws the ball over to 1 of the 3 players and the passer runs around the cone to the mat and tries to catch the ball on the mat and put it in the basket.
  • The 2 reserves do ladder exercises and then one of the reserves takes the place of the reception player and the reception player becomes a passer and the passer becomes a reserve.
  • While the one player does the reception, the other two move to their home positions and get ready to attack.
drawing course
  • You start in the middle.
  • You walk to the first hat, then back to the middle again.
  • You do this with every hat.

Per player 1 ball:

  • throw up the ball for yourself and stop it through reception (bend your knees well)
  • same exercise but now play OH first
  • same exercise but play BH
  • combination, play OH, control BH and catch in reception
  • Side A
  • Coach hits ball to 3 defenders standing at the net.
  • The 3 defenders play the ball over to team line-up.
  • Continue to play the point
  • Then serve side A to B
  • Then B to A
  • 3x freeball to side A

The field is divided in 4 equal fields

  • per field 2 players
  • ball is thrown OH over the net
  • the other players do a correct OH ball recovery by playing it to the basket, the player who is not on the ball runs to the basket and takes the bra.
  • the easy version ends here


You can make this exercise more difficult by playing in one time.
