3. Lower your right leg and keep the heel of your right foot on the ground
4. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement with your other body half.
5. Repeat these movements a number of times.

1. Make a step backwards with your right foot from an upright position.
2. Turn your torso towards your left knee, while you reach up as far as possible with your right hand.
3. Turn back, get back up again, and repeat the same movement with the other side of your body.
4. Repeat these movements a number of times.

1. Take a large step forward with your right foot from an upright position
2. Put your left hand on the ground, at a shoulder's width distance beside your right foot, and divide your weight over your left hand and right foot.
3. Bend your right arm, and bring your right elbow to the ground between your left hand and your right foot.
4. Put your right hand next to your right foot. Do this on the outside, and not on the side here you previously had placed your elbow.
5. Raise your hips, stretch both legs, and have your right foot point upwards.
6. Return to the starting position and repeat the same movement with your left foot and right hand.

• Make trios
• Each trio has a ball.
• Player in the middle keeps running an 8. Every time this player comes in the middle, a ball is thrown:
  • A throws (or plays overarm) the ball to B (in the middle)
  • B throws the ball underhand back to A and then runs around A until he is back in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, A plays the ball to C
  • C returns the ball overarm to B.
  • B plays the ball underhand back to C and then runs around C until he is back in the middle.
  • Enz.
• after 2-3 minutes the player in the middle is changed. 

Variation: 

• To make it simpler, player A and C can throw instead of playing overarm. Could be underhand throwing/catching or overarm throwing/catching.
• To practice standing still when playing/throwing, player B can throw and catch underhand.  

Divide over 3m line. Throw ball in zig-zag pattern and follow. See picture.
Later, play underhand, only overarm. One side of the net underhand, other side overarm.

Make 2 or 3 lines on the end line.
Goal: service has to be correct!! 

• The first of each line serves the ball and picks it up again.
• The next can only serve when tapped.
• If the ball is served into the net, the ball has to be picked up and served again.

Which line has a 100% service score???

• The trainer puts the ball on the middle line.
• On the end line on both sides of the net is a line of players.
• At the trainer's signal, the run to the ball, who has it can keep it.

Which team collects the most balls

Service pass training for 4 to 12 persons
4 persons:
2 servers on the service spot .
1 passer
1 catcher
(static) Server serves, passer passes the ball to catcher, catcher catches the ball and rolls it back to the server.
(dynamic) same as static, but then the involved player walks after the ball. (server becomes passer, passer becomes catcher, etc.)

6 persons.
2 servers
3 passers
1 catcher
(Static) see four persons
(dynamic) server serves the ball and walks after his/her ball.
Passer passes the ball to catcher. The most right player becomes catcher
Server moves in from the left. Catcher becomes server. If this does not work, 1 passer becomes reserve.

• 5x push up (can also be done on knees)
• planking (straight back) 3x with 15 sec. rest in between.
• lie down on your back, cycle for 1 minute
• 10x entire stomach exercise 

• bring the ball into the game; S sets up to left forward
• 1 diagonal  attack
• all rotate one spot when ball is over the net
• defend diagonal attack on set-upper
• set up to left forward, attack diagonally; etc.

POINTS OF ATTENTION:  

• when rotating, quickly to starting position
• all provide attack defense
• right forward block put straight

line of attackers on the 3 meter line

-C plays rally ball on attacker 1

- blocker 4 goes to the net

- 1 passes to S and calls where he wants the set up

   (left, middle, or right)

- blocker follows attacker and blocks

- attacker gets ball, joins back of own line

- if the attackers score 10x, the attackers and

   blockers change

Pass and overarm exercise

• Player A and A1 have the ball. 
• This player throws the ball to player B/B1 
• Player B/B1 passes the ball back 'perfectly' 
• Player A/A1 then plays the ball in the basket. 
• Player A/A1 picks up the ball and joins the back of the line. You follow your ball  

The tempo is automatic and can be increased. Make it harder by letting player B pass elsewhere, so player A has aim for the basket. Other option: Player A throws to a more difficult spot in the field.
