This drill can be performed in pairs, or players can perform it individually against a wall.
Players lay on their front and overhand pass the ball to each other, with players aiming to get as many passes between each other without the ball touching the floor.
This exercise requires good balance and setting accuracy. If players are able to do this drill while in a laying position, then they are a more than capable sitter.
If a player is capable at doing this drill, have a player kneel down and hold the ankles of the passing player to make it even harder for them.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
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.
