Warming up in threes: attacking

In this video, you'll learn how to do an attacking warm-up for three people.

a stationary attack and a moving attack

Firstly, the stationary attack

This warm-up allows you to practise a run-up, jump and spike

Players 1 and 2, equipped with a ball, position themselves at the net on one side of the court

Player 3 stands on the other side of the court a few metres away from the net, with a ball.

Player 2 serves the ball in a high arched trajectory at the net towards player 1

Meanwhile, Player 3 rolls their ball towards Player 2

Player 1 spikes in the direction of Player 3 and gets back into position to attack again

Player 3 catches the spiked ball and rolls it towards Player 2

Player 2 serves this ball in a high arch at the net to Player 1 and so on

Do this exercise for 2 or 3 minutes, then swap roles

Secondly, the moving attack

The aim of this exercise is to replicate an attacking situation

Keep the same positions as for the previous exercise

Player 3 serves the ball tennis-style, or with topspin, to the opposite side of the court, where the other two players are

Player 1 moves to receive the ball by passing it overhand or with a bump pass in the direction of player 2 and towards the net

Player 2 sets the ball at the net for player 1

Player 1 moves towards the net and modifies their jump according to the position of the ball in order to then attack in the direction of Player 3

Start off hitting the ball gently, then gradually with increasing force

Do the exercise for 2 or 3 minutes, then swap roles.

Have a good warm-up!
