Alco will work with EstherK Julienne Anouk and Eleanor.
Alco throws or hits a ball over the back line, the central defender will collect the ball as if doing a hit out. the players will go to the correct positions, leaving the help side completely open (Red lines are an example of where they will run for their starting positions, please not, that the voorstopper has to run very late).
This exercise should be done with very high intensity and high ball speed. Every few minutes rotate the player's positions. After 15 minutes Lotte will change with Julienna.
