Set up as shown with cones on the baseline and the attack line.
Players start on the baseline and they have to run to the attack line and then return to the baseline. Once here, they then run to the centre line and then back to the baseline.
On the next run, they run to the attack line again and back, then to the centre line and back, and repeat this.
This drill is a great warm up for players as it gets the blood pumping and also focusses on starting and stopping. Repeat the drill a number of times and increase the speed.
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.
