Being able to underhand pass is the most basic, but also the most essential skill in volleyball.
Every time the ball goes below a players' forehead, they should be skilled enough to underhand the ball back in the air, preferably to a teammate.
With this in mind, the following session teaches your players how to master the underhand pass, using a variety of drills that increase in difficulty.
What's in the Session?
Starting with some fun warm ups, we soon get your players passing to each other with some drills that require plenty of hard work, but work that will definitely pay off as they improve their technique. We continue to up the difficulty as the session goes on before finishing with a fun drill that build on the skills learnt in the session.
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.
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.
