DESCRIPTION:
A ball is going to be throw by the coach to the setter, the setter have to decide which combo are his 3 spikers are going to run, the setter can change the combo each time. The hitters have to run any combo the setter says and go for a hard spike, the blockers on the other side have o try and block the hitters
COACHING POINTS:
Hard spiking, good combo running and a good blocking
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.
