With a partner players stand side by side, with one partner rolling the ball for the other to run past it by 2-3 metres turns to face the ball and lets it go through their legs.
They then turn to run past the ball again, face the ball, lay face down and let the ball hit the top of their head.
They then pick up the ball run back and repeat.
Important!
When laying down be aware not to bang nose on the floor.
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.
