Players walk around the court stepping on the lines, so walking towards the net, then across the net, then back again.
While doing this, they are overhand passing the ball in the air.
Ensure players do this drill at a good pace, and also ensure it is done correctly. If a player takes a step outside of the line, tell them to start over, as this will help improve their coordination.
If players perform this drill well, make it harder for them by having players close one eye while walking to improve hand-eye coordination.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
Most teams win the dig and then hand the point straight back with a slow, predictable transition swing. The best 2026 sides treat the moment after the dig as their sharpest scoring chance, feeding the middle in transition and running first-tempo attacks off a defensive ball.
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.
