- Defender behind the block starts defending at left back.
- The left back picks up the ball and connects with the servers.
- Trainer throws ball to passer.
- Pass to the set-up.
- Setup to left or right outside.
- Attack.
- Opposing team defends this ball and tries to make it a counter attack.
LOOPROUTE
- After 5 successful defensive passes, 3 players move to the other side, make sure there is always a playmaker in the receiving end's box, if necessary also take into account fixed positions of other attackers.
- Preparation:
- Hang a ribbon from the net at the spot where the playmaker wants the ball in his hands.
- The ribbon is the target for the passers.
- Three passers stand in the backfield and one player stands at the net.
- The passers are served continuously, and the servers MUST score.
- (low over the net and as deep as possible; when the passers change their position, the servers have to react to that).
- A pass is sent to the server who taps the ball through, gives a set-up or catches the ball (in case of a pass that cannot be handled).
- The trainer intercepts the set-up; if the exercise is going well, an attacker can be added.
- After 10 individual good passes a passer may change with a server of his choice.
- Two sides are hit (if possible), with each attacker attacking 5 times in a row.
- On each side are lined up:
- 1 Distributor.
- 1. Attacker.
- 1. Thrower (with own ball).
- 2. Catchers (of the batted ball).
- Turn over after every 5th attack.
- In a possible 2nd round a one-man block can be added.
