Place your finger in the middle of the back of your partner and try and keep it there.
The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.
After about 30 seconds change who is leading. If there is an odd number of players there will need to be one group working as a 3. They just form a 3 in a line and the front person leads.
The person following should have bent knees and be in a ready position so as to be able to change direction at any time.
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.

This guide covers the rules, approach footwork, setter-hitter timing, and progressive training methods for introducing back row attacks to developing teams.
