Following the rainbow work, coach has the players pass from the same side and hit cut shots in front of three discs. Like the previous drill, the play starts with a pass off a serve. Each player receives 8 serves.
Coach instructs the players to take a more angled approach to the net rather than squaring their shoulders. By coming in at an angle, it’s easier to disguise your shot and it allows you to use more of your body for the hit instead of just using your arm.
Coach also talks here about the importance of communicating with your partner after a less-than-perfect pass as well as staying within 6 to 8 feet of where your partner is setting the ball.

Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
