This week we're turning your players into better setters by getting them to learn how to set the ball backwards effectively.
Great players are able to effectively and accurately set a ball regardless of where they receive it on the court, and no matter what position they find themselves in, whether up high or down low. We aim to help your players get to this level with fun video drills.
What's in the session?
Packed with nine video drills, we begin with fun warms ups to get your players in the zone for setting effectively. We then move on to innovative drills using multiple balls and dividing players into twos and three before putting your players into a match like situation.
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.
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.
