This week we're teaching your players to get down to dive and dig balls and save points.
No great defender goes through their career without having to dive, it has become a necessity in the game, and there are a number of elements to learning the dive. As well as having correct positioning, it's also important players learn how to react quickly enough, and learn how to land safely, which is exactly what we teach this week.
What's in the Session?
Packed with fun video drills, we get your players warmed up correctly before using crash mats to ease your players into brilliant diving. With innovative drills that progress in difficulty, your players will be diving to save more points in no 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.
