As the drill goes on there will be a growing target on the other side of the net. This makes the drill easier for players who struggle with their serving.
You'll also probably find your players encouraging one another and being supportive which will help improve team chemistry.
To make this harder you can enforce the rule that the seated player must catch the ball for the serve to count.
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.
