Advanced 

  • Focus: Speed, precision, and competitive systems

  • Drills: Quick tempo setting, multi-ball drills, in-system/out-of-system transitions, advanced serve-receive

  • Goal: Polish team strategy, prepare for game-day performance

Practice Plans

General Tips:

  • Stick to a time limit for each drill—keeps players engaged and practice efficient.

  • Incorporate both technical and game-like drills to balance skill development and real-time application.

  • Maximize reps—avoid long lines or downtime.

  • Communicate the “why” behind each drill.

  • End with something competitive or fun—helps reinforce learning and team spirit.
