Starting from stage 1, the child gives a service and tries to get it over the net. If the child is successful he will move to stage 2, if not the child will keep trying until eventually will get the ball over the net.
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.
