This volleyball session introduces your players to one of the most exciting shots in Volleyball - the spike!
To develop this attacking shot we work step-by-step, building each part of the shot to avoid overloading your players.
What's in the Session?
We open this session with a quick ice breaker to get everyone talking followed by a quick review of the bump. After this it's down to business, as we work on developing your players' spike - teaching them the mechanics of the shot through a series of fun exercises and game.
The spike is a challenging shot which requires skill, timing and ultimately patience - just like Rome wasn't built in a day, the spike can't be learnt in one session.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
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.
