Teach your players to fix their man, with a drop of the shoulder in this attacking running session and help your players get past their defender to create a shooting opportunity.
This week's feinting session has been split into four sections to ensure there's something for every age group:
Drills for your 6-8 year old players
Simple practices to develop running, changing direction and evasion
Drills for your 9-12 year old players
Playful games to get your players making physical contact and practice opening up space (through techniques including feinting and dummy passes)
Drills for your 12-15 year old players
More advanced passing and receiving scenarios that put pressure on your players to perform the feinting techniques at speed
Drills for your older players
Working on the shot feint and putting the skill into a game-situation, working with passive and active defenders!
If you find your players are comfortable and confident then progress them onto the next set of practices!
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.
Most teams win the dig and then hand the point straight back with a slow, predictable transition swing. The best 2026 sides treat the moment after the dig as their sharpest scoring chance, feeding the middle in transition and running first-tempo attacks off a defensive ball.
