Place one cone on the baseline, and a second cone 3 metres in front of the first cone on the court.
Players stand next to the baseline cone. They then jump over the cone - feet together - from side to side twice before running to the second one where they again jump over the cone twice.
After that players move to the attack line and perform two high knee jumps and finish it with two block jumps at the net.
The players then do the drill in reverse, until they are back at their starting position.
It is very important to tell players to bring their knees up as high as they can on the jumps.
This is plyometric drill in which jumping abilities are the top aim.
Repeating this type of exercises improves maximal jumping reach.
As players get fitter, ask them to do it within a set time or add morte cones.
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.
When the first pass breaks down, most teams collapse into a high ball straight into the opposing block. The best 2026 sides are building structured out-of-system offences that turn broken plays into scoring chances using libero sets, left-side options and disciplined hitter routes.
The modern pipe attack has evolved from a high middle-back set into a flat, fast weapon that arrives at quick tempo. Coaches at every level are now drilling it as a primary scoring option, forcing blockers into impossible decisions and unlocking four-hitter offences.
