Games / Tournament
Game idea:
Two teams face each other on the volleyball court and play the ball over the net so that it falls to the ground in the opponent's court.
Score:
A point is scored if the ball lands in the opponent's court or the opposing team is unable to return the ball in accordance with the rules.
Court:
Volleyball court (9m x 18m) divided in the middle by a net. Net height 2.00m to 2.42m depending on the category.
Number of participants:
6 against 6
Rules of the game:
The serve is executed behind the baseline by the team that won the last point or has the right to serve and must be hit directly over the net to the other side. If the ball is in play, the team in possession of the ball has the right to hit the ball three times (plus block contact) to return the ball to the opponent's half of the court. The ball may not be caught or guided and may not be touched twice in succession by a single player. The ball may be played with any part of the body (exception: at the face-off). The net may not be touched by the players at the upper white band. The move lasts until the ball touches the ground, goes out of bounds or a team fails to return it properly.
If the right to play the ball is regained by scoring a point, the players change positions in a clockwise direction. A set goes to 25 points with a difference of at least 2 points, otherwise the game continues until a 2-point lead has been established. If a team can win 3 sets, the game is won.
Volleyball: Ball over the string
Forms of play / exercises
2 teams of 3-6 players
Game over the net with 2 teams of 3-6 players. The ball may be caught and is then thrown from the bottom to the top over the net into the opposing team's half of the pitch (no passing allowed within your own team). After each throw, the thrower runs around one of the cones, which are placed 1-2 metres outside the playing area. Each side has one cone next to the sideline and one behind the baseline. The opposing team catches the ball before it falls to the ground and then throws it back. Points for: Ball touches the ground, ball leaves the court, ball lands in the net.
Variant:
After a catch ball, 3 passes are allowed within the own team.
Pitch:
1 volleyball
1 volleyball net
6 cones

Forms of play / exercises
Group work
From the game of "ball over the string" to the game of "volleyball": The aim is to familiarise participants with the game of volleyball using simple game and exercise forms. The series of exercises is intended to help create more flow in the game of volleyball, which results in more fun than if the game consists almost exclusively of passing and errors.
1. Ball over the line:
Ball may be caught. Throw the ball over the net (only throws from bottom to top are allowed). After each throw, run around one of the cones, which are placed 1-2 metres outside the playing field. Each side has one cone next to the sideline and one behind the baseline. The opposing team catches the ball before it falls to the ground and then throws it back (no passes within the team). Points for: Ball touches the ground, ball leaves the court, ball lands in the net. Additional rule for better flow of play: the ball must be thrown into the back zone (over the 3 metre line).
2. Technique training: Manchette:
Demonstration by the sports leader (key points). Then practise in groups of 2 (at least 10 passes each)
3. Ball over the line combined with a cuff:
Same form of play as described above, but now the first touch of the ball after the opponent's throw over the net is with a cuff. After the cuff, the ball is caught by a team member and thrown to the opposite side. The run around the thrower's cones can still be maintained to create more free spaces (optionally, the passer must also perform the additional loop) or the rule can be omitted.
4. Technique training: 10-finger pass:
Demonstration by the sports leader (key points). Then practise in groups of 2 (at least 10 passes each)
5. Ball over the line combined with manchette and 10-finger pass:
Same game form as above. The first touch of the ball after the throw over the net is again with a cuff. The second touch of the ball must now be a 10-finger pass to a team-mate. Only then is the ball caught and thrown to the opposite side. The rule with the rounding of the cones can be retained (for throwers and passers) or cancelled.
6 cones

Volleyball: Upper pass - alone
Forms of play / exercises
Individual work
After a short instruction by the sports leader on the top pass, the participants perform the following exercises:
- Bounce the ball on the floor with both hands, run underneath it - catch the ball above your head with both hands;
- Ditto, but pass the ball straight back up, 1x on the floor - pass it up - 1x on the floor, etc.
- Juggle the ball (own top pass)
Juggling the ball, go to a basketball hoop and score a basket there with the volleyball (top pass); then change the basket.

Volleyball: Upper pass - in pairs
Forms of play / exercises
Partner work
After a brief instruction from the sports leader on the top pass, the participants perform the following exercises in teams of two:
- Throw the volleyball to each other inaccurately (too short, too long, etc.) Partner must catch the ball over their head before it falls to the floor.
- Pass the ball to each other with the top pass; in between, pass the ball to yourself once each time.
- Top pass to partner A, partner A passes the ball up to himself several times (juggling) while B quickly touches A's shoes and returns to his place. Now he receives an upper pass and must juggle the ball until A has touched his shoes, etc.
- Direct upper pass in pairs. Play together with the most accurate passes possible.

Weapons range orienteering
Orienteering
Single run or 2/3 groups
Posts (some of which are fixed) are distributed around the weapons range, which the participants approach individually or in small groups with/without a map. The Waffenplatz orienteering run is particularly suitable for familiarising participants with the terrain (practice form), but can also be carried out as a competition form.
There are various options for carrying out the orienteering run:
- Line run:
The posts are approached in numerical order using a map. To ensure that not all participants run in the same direction at the start, the first control is marked on the orienteering map. - Numbered run:
According to the 1st marked control, all even or odd controls are approached using a map. Depending on the time conditions, the 3-way rule could also be an option. - Memory run:
A poster with all the marked controls is displayed at the start. The participants memorise a route and try to collect the controls. Depending on how many posts the participants can memorise, they have to return to the starting position sooner or later to take another look at the map. - Filling station run:
A poster with all the posts is displayed at the start and at some posts. After the start, each participant orientates themselves at the "petrol stations" about the control locations. - Star run:
The start forms the centre of the run. Each control is approached individually (in a star shape) (variant: clockwise or anti-clockwise). After each control, the runners return to the centre before moving on to the next control (if necessary, have the controls checked by the sports director). The controls can be approached using a map or the runners must memorise the route using a poster (cf. memory run).
Variant:
Run in groups of 2 (3). The person in front holds the map (except for the memory run) and runs to the next control. The person behind observes the running behaviour of the person in front and gives feedback on the running style. The roles are swapped at each control point. Of course, this form of exercise requires a prior introduction to the topic of running style analysis by the sports leader.
Orienteering posts (permanently mounted, but always checked, or for unplugging)
2-3 Wpl-OL posters (only necessary for memory, petrol station and possibly star run)

Dice relay
Forms of play / exercises
Group work
4-5 participants per group
A runner runs to a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the wall of the hall to throw a show dice. The result of the number rolled multiplied by four corresponds to the number of jumps that must be performed with the skipping rope (max. 24x, min. 4x) before running back to the group. Which group finishes first (each participant runs once)?
Replacement: Run around the group, shake hands and send the next runner onto the course.
Per group:
2 colouring sticks
1 foam cube
1 skipping rope
Throwing body (howler): Target throw
Forms of play / exercises
Group work
One participant defines a target zone (e.g. target zones divided with skipping ropes in a handball goal -> 3 colours with top-middle-bottom). The entire group then tries to hit the specific target (e.g. yellow-bottom) by throwing the howler (3 attempts per participant from a specific line).
Additional strengthening task:
Those who have not scored a hit complete a strength exercise: 20x jumping jacks
1 handball goal
6-8 skipping ropes (demarcate target zones)
3 marking tapes (define target zones using colours)
3 throwing objects (howlers)
