Variation on the butterfly drillâ¦ball is thrown from 10ft line (Zn4) to Zn1, passed from there to target (if roster is big enough, setter will set to target, passer and setter move to cover target). After 50 good passes (target is 5 feet off the net, NOT right on top of the net), thrower backs up to 20 ft from net. At this point, thrower becomes server and serves from 20ft. This is repeated from the end line. The intention of the 50-50-50 is to get passers to move/read the ball coming over and gradually warm up arms. Since all serves must go to Zn1, it also works on serve accuracy)

New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
