Techniques:

• Bounce: the ball must be moved by the action of flexion and extension of the wrist and forearm.

Intermediate: extended elbow back to shoulder height                                                                  3. Hip: shoulder flex and swim back below the shoulder.                                                                    4. High: elbow extended backwards and raised over the shoulder.   

Systems:

• Attacking: 1) 3-3: the circle runner moves in the 6-meter line and the other players have to move the ball quickly                                                                                                                                                          2) 2-4: it is a system of 2 lines where the back players try to form a triangle.                                                                                                                                                                                                 3) Counterattack: the player who gets the ball looks up for an open mate. It could be sorted out by 2 or more players.
• Defending:1) 6-0: the objetive is avoiding easy throws to the defended goal.                                                        2) 5-1: the defenders try to protect their area with one player defending alone.                                    3) 3-3: it is used when the defense is losing the ball.                                                                             4) 1-1: it is practised by beginners. A team can play 1-1 on half of the court or on the full court, and every player defends an attacker.
