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, itâs 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.

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.
