This week's session has been created to bring a bit of variety to your team's Warm Up Routines.
It's easy to look on warming up as a bit of a formality, something that has to be done, before you get down to the serious business of training. However, you shouldn't underestimate the importance of a good warm up - not only is it a great way to get your players physically ready it's also a way to start as you mean to go on and get your players mentally prepared.
To get your players' blood pumping and add a bit of interest to your warm ups this week's warm up ideas have been split into three categories:
Ice Breaker Drills, Moving to meet the Ball exercises and Passing Warm Ups
Bring something new to your pre-match warm ups with this week's mixture of running, jumping and passing skill drills!
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.
