Being able to underhand pass is the most basic, but also the most essential skill in volleyball.
Every time the ball goes below a players' forehead, they should be skilled enough to underhand the ball back in the air, preferably to a teammate.
With this in mind, the following session teaches your players how to master the underhand pass, using a variety of drills that increase in difficulty.
What's in the Session?
Starting with some fun warm ups, we soon get your players passing to each other with some drills that require plenty of hard work, but work that will definitely pay off as they improve their technique. We continue to up the difficulty as the session goes on before finishing with a fun drill that build on the skills learnt in the session.

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.
