Volleyball: Master and Slaves

Description

One player (red) is the master - he/she now trains the rest by showing the following moves in fast and random succession while the Team imitates the red player.

• jumping
• lying down and getting up again
• moving forward (backwards for the team to avoid collisions)
• moving backward (forward for the team)
• moving left (right for the team)
• moving right (left for the team)

Do this exercise for a set amount of time.
