This week we're teaching your players how to improve their awareness and footwork when setting the ball.
Players will never receive two of the same pass, so it's important that they are used to moving to receive the ball. Good footwork and body awareness is key for players to be able to react quickly and pass effectively, which is exactly what we teach your players in this session.
What's in the session?
Packed with eight video drills, we get your players warmed up with some fun drills before working on setting and receiving from a variety of positions, and teach them how to improve their awareness of teammates. Finish with a little competition, and see who can get the most balls into a target!
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.
