• 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.
