Progression I:
Adjust the sling trainer to mid-lower leg length (standing). Stand on four feet with your forearms in the slings, looking towards the floor (head in extension of the spine). Lift your knees (slightly) off the floor and hold the position.

Progression II:
Analogue progression I, but with support on your hands.

Progression III:
Analogue progression II, additionally bring your hands forwards.

Attention:
Keep your back straight, no hollow back.

Harden:
The more horizontal the body position and the further away the feet are from the attachment point, the more challenging the exercise becomes.

Variant:
For progression I+II, raise and lower the pelvis (do not put your knees down).

Game idea:
Two equally sized pitches are divided by a centre line. The sky of both teams is located behind the baseline of the opposing team's pitch. One player is in the sky at the start of the game. During the game, each team tries to shoot the opposing players from their own pitch. Whoever is hit moves to the sky and can continue to try to hit opposing players with the ball from there. The player who is in the sky at the start of the game enters the playing field when a team-mate hits the ball for the first time. Anyone who catches a thrown ball keeps their life. The first team to run out of players loses the game.

Variations:

• A player who catches an opponent with the ball from the sky may return to the playing field.
• After a player lies down on his stomach in the sky, he may immediately attempt to run back into the playing field. If they are touched by an opponent while crossing the opponent's pitch, they must return to the sky.
• Two players can sneak out of the sky by piggybacking. If they are touched by an opponent while crossing the opponent's playing field, they must return to the sky.
• The last player in the playing field has several lives.
• There are 1-2 Swedish boxes in the playing field that can be used as cover.
• Each player (except those in the sky) places a cone in the playing field. If a cone is knocked over (by the ball or by touching it), the player who placed the cone goes to heaven.
• This variant begins in the same way as the basic form ends. One player is in the playing field, the rest start in the sky. The players in the sky try to hit the players in the field. If they succeed, they are allowed to enter the playing field, which continues to fill up. This makes it increasingly easier for the players in the sky to enter the playing field as the number of targets increases. Players hit in the playing field remain there. Which team is the first to run out of players in the sky?
• Each team secretly chooses a king and a jester. The sports director is informed of the choice. As soon as the king is chosen, the game is over. The jester cannot be hit and can therefore protect all players (including the king).
• Each team numbers its players in secret and gives the order to the sports director

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.

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 net
6 cones

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

Per group:
1 volleyball

After a brief instruction from the sports leader on the manchette (stretched arms, impulse from the legs), the participants perform the following exercises:

• Pass the ball up with the manchette, drop it on the floor, run under it, pass the ball up with the manchette.
• Manchette - drop the ball on the floor - top pass - drop the ball on the floor - manchette - drop the ball on the floor - top pass, etc.
• Manchette - top pass (to the wall) - manchette - top pass (to the wall), etc.

Pro Tn:
1 Volleyball

Half of the tn (red) line up sideways on a line about 1-2 metres apart. The other half of the Tn (blue), equipped with a volleyball, line up in a column of one at a distance of 2-3 metres from the front Tn of the first group. The teammates in the blue group now play a handball one after the other to the first teammate in the red group, who plays the ball straight back using the handball. After each pass, the teammates in the blue group move by one until they have completed the whole row. They then join up again at the front. Switch groups

Per group of 2:
1 volleyball

After a short instruction by the sports leader on the cuff (stretched arms, impulse from the legs), the participants carry out the following exercises:

• A passes (throws) the ball to B from below, B passes back with the cuff, A catches the ball and throws it back again - switch tasks.
• Free passing in pairs - use upper passes and cuffs adapted to the situation.

Per group of 2:
1 volleyball

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.
