Your players need to react quickly and move at speed to be in the right place before the ball hits the court.
In this session, the drills are focused and direct on making sure your players’ Underhand Passing is performed correctly.
Your players will be given the opportunity to work on their technique and increase their ability with various drills offering different situations to perform the underhand pass.
Players need to regularly practice getting into the "ready position" as quickly as possible so that they can dig the ball directly to a teammate. Even though this plan focuses on the underhand pass, the drills also develop your players’ balance and core strength.
After completing this session, expect to see high quality underhand passes from your team for the remainder of the season.

The back row attack adds a powerful offensive dimension that stretches the opposing block and creates scoring opportunities from unexpected positions. This guide covers the rules, approach footwork, setter-hitter timing, and progressive training methods for introducing back row attacks to developing teams.
