Two players facing each other with one ball between them.
Player one overhand passes the ball high above his/her head before forward passing the ball to their partner.
Player 2 then receives the ball by setting the ball high above his/her head using a overhand pass before returning the ball to player 1.
Take it for granted that at the beginning players will find it difficult to rally for a long period of time so start from short distance between them.

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.
