• Player in the middle runs an 8 each time. Each time this player gets in the middle, a ball is thrown:

  • B passes the ball back to C underhand and then runs around C until he is in the middle again.
  • Etc.

Variation:

• To make it easier, player A and C can also have them throw instead of playing overhand. This can be an underhand throw/catch or an overhand throw/catch.
• To practice standing still while playing/catching, you can also let player B throw and catch underhand.

  • 1 with ball at the net,

• SV runs in at that point from RA, around the pawn (RV on ~3 meter line) to SV position (between MV and RV position)
• MA passes the ball to SV
• SV catches the ball above the head (all players turn 1 spot, or repeat exercise 5 times)
  
  
• Can be extended with setup to LF where
  • player 1 throws the ball from the net

  • simulates an attack and takes care of the setup.
• If necessary expand with an attack instead of catching.

• Player A serves the ball to player C.
