You roll over the ball of your foot towards your heel Keep the feet raised towards the shins and the ground contact short and fanatic. Back and forth 2x

  • 1 with ball at the net,
  • 1 without ball on back line flat on belly.
• Attacker hits ball, defender defends on 7meter line,
  • Then short ball on 3meter line.

• Line up in the middle of the field.
• 1 person walks to the net (midposition) and blocks,
• sideways to set/outside and block there.
• 1 person remains standing on each side, creating a two-man block.

An exercise for the attacker. The attacker has to be available for a second attack after a block.

First the middle attackers. At the net stand the playmaker (S) and a head blocker (1) ready to start blocking. Next to them stands the trainer (T) with a ball. Three defenders (4, 5 and 6) are standing at the back of the court.

• The trainer hits the ball, and 1 and S block together.
• During the block the trainer smashes the ball to 4, 5 or 6.
• As soon as 1 is on the ground again after the block, 1 moves backwards for the attack run.
• 4, 5 or 6 defend the ball.
• S gives a setup to 1.
• 1 smashes the ball
• 1 retrieves the ball.
• 2 takes the place of 1 (1,2 and 3 rotate).

Swap with the outside attackers on the outside position.

• 1 playmaker
• 1 "false-dead" in the other half
• 1 attacker without ball
• Rest with the ball in a row behind the attacker.
  • Number 1 with the ball throws to the distributor, who gives a set up and the attacker tries to score.
  • The shamode tries to pass the ball and catch it, if he succeeds, the attacker is "dead" and has to take over the place of the shamode who may now join the row
  • If the attacker scores he gets the ball himself and joins the back of the row
