• Basic setup.
• After processing the service, a rally is played.
• At the net are 3 players with 1 ball.
• On the place of attack a ball is immediately thrown back and has to be drained.
• Play all balls and then rotate through.

• Players form threesomes.
• Per trio two players at the net with a ball.
• Player A hits the ball (overhand) for a pass before the backline.
• Immediately after that B throws the ball on the three meter line.
• Player C makes a pancake and plays the ball back.
• After 10 times the players turn one spot (A becomes C, B becomes A, C becomes B).

• This exercise trains the split step.
• Players line up behind the back line.
• Trainer or player stands at the net.
• One by one the players walk in from the back line.
• When the trainer hits the ball, the player makes a split step.
• Then he gets the ball on a random spot next to or in front of him.
• Player passes back and retrieves ball if necessary.
• After that the player closes in at the back.

• Organization:
  • Players on p2 and p4.
  • Other players in 2 rows on 3m line p3.
• Execution:
  • The first two players walk to the net and block together on p3.
  • Then they sidestep or walk to p2 or p4 and block together with the player who is already there.
  • The original player on p2 and p4 make a roll/dive and join in the other row.

• Organization:
  • Field A:
    • Sv on p2/3, attackers on p3 and p4.
  • Field B:
    • Block on p2 and p3 and libero on p5.
• Execution:
  • Tr throws balls at field A.
  • Sv. gives setup to p3 or p4.
  • On field B the block on p3 chooses whether to attack on p3 or on p4.
  • Block attack and possibly catch the defended ball.
• Attention Point:
  • Block must read setupper and make a choice based on that.
  • Prevent "gambling".

• On both sides of the field 2 players come in.
• There is a pass, setup and attack (from 3 meter line).
• When side A has attacked, these two players circle off and two new ones come in.
• Side B defends the attack by the same pass-setup-attack, these players go to the back line and two new players enter.

• Player starts serving, straight through, on the other side a defender is passing.
• The passer passes to the trainer.
• After service the player runs directly to position 5, where the trainer throws a ball for passing at 2-3.
• Fixed playmaker, gives set-up on the outside.
• After passing, the player makes an attack.
• 2 blockers, defense behind the block and defense at left back.

RUNNING ROUTE:

• The attacker becomes outside blocker.
• Outside blocker becomes inside blocker.
• Inside blocker goes to defend behind the block.
• 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.
