This week we're teaching your players to get down to dive and dig balls and save points.
No great defender goes through their career without having to dive, it has become a necessity in the game, and there are a number of elements to learning the dive. As well as having correct positioning, it's also important players learn how to react quickly enough, and learn how to land safely, which is exactly what we teach this week.
What's in the Session?
Packed with fun video drills, we get your players warmed up correctly before using crash mats to ease your players into brilliant diving. With innovative drills that progress in difficulty, your players will be diving to save more points in no time!
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.
