Spilt class into groups of 5 and form a circle
Each group needs a volleyball.
The ball is to be passed around the group – Students can pass the ball to anyone but must call out the person’s name.
Keep the ball moving quickly around the group.
Students have to keep jogging on the spot all the time.
If the ball is dropped everyone in the group must perform a forfeit e.g. 10 star jumps, before continuing to pass the 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.
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.
