This session is a setter's masterclass! Every good spike is backed by a good set. That's why it's so important to teach this skill.
Despite being a relatively easy skill to learn, the set can often be very hard to master. The key is to keep the ball on your fingertips and not ever touch it with your palms, which is something this session teaches your players from the start.
With 7 superb video drills, this is a must-have session that you can use with your team tonight!
What's in the Session?
Starting with a fun warm up that can be done in pairs or individually, we get your players working on their body position. This is followed up by clever movement drills that get players used to setting to positions that they would in a match, using targets to make this session even more fun. Finally, the session culminates in a fun game that works on everything learnt in the session, improving consistency and accuracy.
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.
