Passers need to focus on good footwork and platform management to result in "3" passes (setter has 3 options) Setters can work on any set to any position and should be encouraged to work on variety of sets. Timing between setter and hitters is increased. Hitters need to work on great footwork with good, aggressive approaches and swings. Hitters should vary attacks between line and angle. Hitters should work on keeping ball off tape with aggressive swings to push themselves to their physical and technical edges A wide variety of tweaks and focuses can be used in this drill - specific sets, specific tempo of sets, specific targets for attacks (4/5 seam, stay out of 6, etc.), coach can move passers around on toss, etc.
