Fundamentals of good technique
The drills focus on the correct body position and way to hold the arms so your players will be able to stay in control the ball.
Through these individual, pair and three player drills, your player will learn and refine the skills to receive and pass the ball accurately using the underhand method anywhere on the court.
Your players will develop their technique and knowledge to understand how to get in the ready position to receive the ball by keeping their arms in front on themselves in the digging position, where they will be able to keep the ball in play or pass it.
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.
