A fun and simple way to introduce the serve.
Using the underhand serve players pass the ball over the net one another.
There should be no loose balls here, players should focus on accuracy as they aim to get the ball up and over.
Once again players should be stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you serve with.
Start close to the net, and then if you are successful take one step backwards until you can serve from the baseline to each other.
When the first pass breaks down, most teams collapse into a high ball straight into the opposing block. The best 2026 sides are building structured out-of-system offences that turn broken plays into scoring chances using libero sets, left-side options and disciplined hitter routes.
The modern pipe attack has evolved from a high middle-back set into a flat, fast weapon that arrives at quick tempo. Coaches at every level are now drilling it as a primary scoring option, forcing blockers into impossible decisions and unlocking four-hitter offences.
The back row attack adds a powerful offensive dimension that stretches the opposing block and creates scoring opportunities from unexpected positions. This guide covers the rules, approach footwork, setter-hitter timing, and progressive training methods for introducing back row attacks to developing teams.
