Get your players talking in this passing and moving session, designed to improve players' setting skills to help them pass with confidence and control.
We also introduce your players to the back set as well as improving their ability to pass when on the run and react quickly (including a great Two Ball Setting drill exercise working on coordination).
What's in the session?
To practice these core-ball-control skills we get your players into pairs and open with a fun, ice breaking Sit on the Ball drill. After working in pairs we then get your players into groups of three in a pass and move rallying drill to find out which group of players can keep the ball in the air the longest before closing with a fun conditioned game.
Improve your players' setting skills and get them moving and talking with this control skill 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.
