OFTEN USED WITH...

Jump and Catch:

Coach feeds the ball for the player to practice the correct footwork for an attack approach to jump and catch.

VSW:READY TO POUNCE

Jumping agility:

Place one cone on the baseline, and a second cone 3 metres in front of the first cone on the court.

Players stand next to the baseline cone. They then jump over the cone - feet together - from side to side twice before running to the second one where they again jump over the cone twice.

After that players move to the attack line and perform two high knee jumps and finish it with two block jumps at the net.

The players then do the drill in reverse, until they are back at their starting position.

2 Warm Up

Faster footwork:

Place four cones so they make the corners of a square.

A player stands at each cone, and using tiny foot movements, moves around it as fast as they can.

On the coach's signal all players change their position, going clockwise. Players must face the net at all times as they would during a match.

2 Warm Up

Two step shuffle:

Place the ball on the floor, in a good ready position push the ball sideways with a hand then move in rhythm with the ball for two side-steps bend and push the ball with the other hand in the other direction and repeat.

Transition Offence: Turning Defence into First-Tempo Attack

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.

Out-of-System Offence: Scoring When the Pass Breaks Down

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.
