A short but intensive warming up to get the heart rate up and warm up properly.

A varied warm-up where 6 benches standing next to each other with each +/-2-3m between them form the basis. See videos for exercises. It is a varied selection of exercises: running, running, jumping and strength exercises with and without a ball. Depending on the target group, you can choose the exercises.

1. 2 players start at the same time. One slaloms around the benches by starting on the right, the other by starting on the left.

• Forward in a run
• Give high-fives every time they cross each other.
• Every time they cross each other jump and hit each other's hands.
• Backwards

2. Same as 1, only it's not a slalom, but you meet in the middle every time.

• Lean on one knee and join hands. Then back again and walk around the bench.

3. 2 players remain simultaneously. Grab bench with two hands. Do legs over the bench three times. Then move to next bench and so on.

4. Same as 3, but they cross each other. Every bench one changes from left to right.

5. You jump as 3, once over the bench. Sit with your back against the bench. Grasp the bench with your arms. Legs stretched. Do 1 push up.

6. Same as 5, but you cross each other. Each bench is alternated between left and right.

Grasp the bench with your hands and your body stretched out. You make 1 push up. And jumps once over the bench.

8. Same as 7, but you cross each other. Each bank switches from left to right.

9. Combination of 6 and 8. Start at the first bench with a push forward, the next bench backward and so on until the last bench. In between they cross.

10. One jumps leg by leg over the benches in a running pace.

11. Same as 10, but they cross each other. Each bench is crossed from left to right.

12. One jumps on the bench. Then from 1 jump spread legs around the bench. You look at each other. Bench up-down-up and through.

13. Same as 12, but they cross each other. Every bench one changes from left to right.

14. Pairs. One player lifts up the bench at the right side. The other player crawls under the bench and grabs the next bench on the left. Now the other player goes under the bench, etc.

Foursomes. In fact the same as 14, only now the bench is grabbed by 2 players on both sides. Then 2 players go under it and hold up the next bench, etc.

• The attack comes from the right
• The middle and diagonal blocks, the outside attacker comes to the middle, the upper comes to the front
• The trainer hits the ball, we go to our position and defend the ball from the trainer.
• To be extended by finishing the attack. Think of tactical hit or pricked balls. (central, position 1, position 5)

• 1 half of the field; 2 or 3 players form a wall in the middle at 7 metres;
  • 4 persons will defend;
  • others take care of balls.
• Starting position of the defenders is mid back line (1 person).
• Trainer throws ball into the field from position 3 (in front of the net). 1st defender dives / passes ball to 2/3
• Immediately after that the next ball is thrown to the next defender.
• High tempo; players should at least try to touch the ball, better is defending & passing to 2/3

• There are players on all positions in the field
• The trainer stands on position 4 on the opposite side (if necessary on a raised position)
• When the trainer throws up the ball, the players may move: set up a two-man block at position 2 and the others move to the defensive system
• Play out rally, build up attackEvents
  : place hoops or mats in the other field to play third ball to
  
• Turn over as in the game. The person at position 2 goes out to get the ball, the reserve turns in at position 1

In pairs

• 1 with ball on the 3m line
• 1 without ball at the other side at the net
• make a block jump at the net (pay attention to a straight landing)
• after landing, move backwards to the 3m line and pass the short ball
• player from the other side throws on (or serves) and then sprints under the net to catch the ball

• 2 rows of players
  • 1 row on the left back
  • 1 row at the right back
• create with 4 pawns a virtual line where they have to stand behind
• 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 (let's agree)
• he passes it to the net and the other one catches it.
•
