VARIATION: attack on other position, with block, defense
- A serves to B.
- B passes the ball to the playmaker, who then plays a high ball into the backfield.
- B defends this ball back to the playmaker, who then gives a setup for A.
- A attacks this setup.
- A lines up at the other side who defends the ball and has to score.
After the attack, A takes B's place and B becomes a reserve. The playmaker stays.
The outside attackers use the left half of the field with one playmaker. The middle attackers and diagonal attackers use the right half with another playmaker.
Extension:
- After the service, A takes a second ball.
- After B's attack A throws this ball into the field.
- B plays this ball to the playmaker, the playmaker gives a setup.
- B attacks again.
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!
Needs:
- A minimum of 6 players
- As many balls as there are teams
- Extension: extra points to earn by placing hoops in the field.
- Player A throws/strikes the ball towards player C.
- Player C passes the ball to player B.
- Player B sets up the ball.
- Player C attacks if the pass was good.
Goal: Try to attack/play 3rd ball on the imaginary mats (straight or diagonal).
After each ball: A to row position C, C to row position A, B change after a while.
Extension: With enough players one-woman block.

You can play this game with any 4 exercises you can think of.
- Make two pairs who will do the exercises together.
- Each pair gets a note with 4 boxes where they can put a code with the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- the trainer makes a code, this can be 4 different digits (4231) or with repeated digits (2233)
- the players have to do the 4 exercises in order of the code they wrote down. When they have done all 4 exercises they have to check the code with the trainer. The trainer notes how many are right and how many are wrong.
- the players write down the next code, and again they have to do 4 exercises that fit with the code they wrote down.
For example
- Exercise 1: sprint back and forth 5 times between 9m
- Exercise 2; block left, shuffle, block middle, shuffle, block right with pairs facing each other and two times back and forth
- Exercise 3: bench, 20x on and off the bench with 2 feet
- Exercise 4: 10x sit-up | 10x left / 10 x right
- The first pair to crack the code wins.
- 1 person at the net, a back defender, a catcher and someone at the other side of the net.
- The person at the other end of the net throws the ball, just over the block before the three meter line.
- The defender comes from behind and stands on his good starting position. There he has to play the ball to the catcher.
