Hot Take:

This is a more effective dive move than the dolphin dive.

It has a longer reach, is less taxing on the body, and generally gets the ball higher 🤷🏻‍♂️

End of year ✌🏻

Thankful for the opportunity to coach these studs this fall and can’t wait until spring to get back to it and continue to improve.

It’s not always about the weight. Depending on the phase you’re in, you need to be aware of HOW you’re producing force.

This was for my warmup for a a couple of scrimmages this next day. But I was trying to peak my RFD about 12 hours prior to the scrimmage. And while this study from Will Saville shows results from a high pull, the numbers will still correlate.

I wasn’t producing a significant amount of force while only squatting 115 on the first set, but I did increase the Rate of Force Development by changing the tempo to match what I would be doing in game.

Also, don’t do this pre match if you’ve never done it before. Make sure your body is accustomed to it and you know that your body responds well to this type of stimulus before trying to make it your warmup. I typically do power cleans because I find them to be the most beneficial for pre match, but I had just driven for three hours and my wrists were unhappy so I stuck to squats.

Absolutely bananas play by and the crew at

The game is evolving and if you’re not working on every aspect, regardless of position, you’re going to get left behind.

Attack the gaps.

Here, our middles and setters are working on keeping the tempo when moved around the court to be able attack the gaps in the blockers.

This adds pressure to the opponent’s blockers, primarily the middles but also the pins if they get pushed into their zones.

For our middles, they are identifying where the blocker (boogie board) is in relation to their setter so they can audible the right set to attack the gaps. Being able to keep the middles involved opens up our entire offense.

Fun and competitive drill from :

You can only attack cross court, but both pins are open. Players are constantly cycling through after points so everyone has to play multiple positions. Middles are only blocking.

Emphasis for defense:
- reading and reacting to the setter to get to the appropriate side
- making a play on the ball
- defensive communication

Emphasis for pins:
- scoring while out of system
- defensive transition to attacking
- effective communication to setter for the appropriate set

Emphasis for blockers:
- make a strong diving move at the net to take up space
- read the approach of the attacker

Emphasis for setters:
- putting up a hittable ball in transition
- identifying which hitters are available in the middle of the rally
- staying neutral to hold the defense and blockers without giving away setting intent
