This week's plan looks at teaching players what is expected from them while in different zones of the court.
They learn which volleyball skills they could be expected to use in the zones, giving your players the skills to be efficient in every area of the court, no matter what their main role in the team is.
What's in the Session?
Packed with eight video drills, we begin with a fun warms up to get your players ready for spiking, digging and setting effectively. We then move on to innovative drills with three or more members of your team putting your players into a match like situation to get them confident and fully prepared for all match scenarios.
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.
