This week's session has been created to bring a bit of variety to your team's Warm Up Routines.
It's easy to look on warming up as a bit of a formality, something that has to be done, before you get down to the serious business of training. However, you shouldn't underestimate the importance of a good warm up - not only is it a great way to get your players physically ready it's also a way to start as you mean to go on and get your players mentally prepared.
To get your players' blood pumping and add a bit of interest to your warm ups this week's warm up ideas have been split into three categories:
Ice Breaker Drills, Moving to meet the Ball exercises and Passing Warm Ups
Bring something new to your pre-match warm ups with this week's mixture of running, jumping and passing skill drills!
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.
