Place your finger in the middle of the back of your partner and try and keep it there.
The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.
After about 30 seconds change who is leading. If there is an odd number of players there will need to be one group working as a 3. They just form a 3 in a line and the front person leads.
The person following should have bent knees and be in a ready position so as to be able to change direction at any time.
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.
