These exercises are done in pairs.

- Exercise 2:
- Person 1 stands with a ball at net net, person 2 starts at the 3-meter line. Person 1 hits the ball and person 2 has to run backwards and play the ball to person 1 again. 10x per person.
- Exercise 3:
- Person 1 stands on the 3-meter line with a ball. Person 2 is going to block at the net and then turn around to play the short ball of person 1. 10x per person.
This exercise is fun to do and gives a lot of fun and competition! Relays in general already create competition.
What this exercise also wants to mimic is the stress factor that a serve brings.
The players are divided into equal teams and lined up on the serving area of the same court. The first player of a team serves and retrieves his ball. After the next player is tapped, this one serves, and so on.
It is important for a player to serve quickly, but it must also be flawless, otherwise the ball must be retrieved and served again!
If the teams are small, it is fun to let everyone serve two or three times.
Necessary:
- A minimum of 6 players
- As many balls as there are teams

- The trainer stands on a box at the other side of the net, and the players must try to block the ball one by one.
- Step 1 is to explain when and why we block.
