Volleyball Drills For Hitting Faster Quicker Sets Like Go's Huts, 31s

In these volleyball drills for hitting we are working on taking a three-step, four-step or even a two-step approach in order to get to quicker faster sets.

Outside hitters need to be the most versatile athletes on the team which why we work on specific volleyball drills for hitting faster sets along the net.

In order to do that they should be able to hit different types of sets located along the net in front of the setter.

Three-time Boulder City HS state champion Kate Prior and Adlai Rodriguez work with me on speeding up their timing for the quick set in the middle.

Different types of sets delivered at different speeds and different heights make outside hitters unpredictable, versatile and able to score points from different areas on the court along the net.

Being able to transition from defense to offense with specific footwork and consistently quick speed and technique makes it harder for the opposing team's blockers to know when and where you are going to attack next in a rally.

That's the goal for outside hitters...to make it difficult for opposing blockers to stop them from scoring.

Need Volleyball Drills For Hitting Power? Improve Your Volleyball Spike Approach For Faster Sets With
The Three-Step Volleyball Spike Approach

Use these volleyball drills for hitting to improve your attacking power which begins with a strong three step or four step spike approach.

Watch as Cal Poly outside hitter, Tommi Stockham works with me in private training.

The Three-step approach

The three-step approach is used more often for faster sets that are set lower to the net that quick athletic hitters use with a quick arm swing and fast swing to beat the block.

These faster and lower sets are used to beat the block with speed.

The faster, the hitter can jump, and the faster they can swing...the better.

This means the ball is contacted at a lower point in the air above the net, but is contacted at a faster speed where hopefully the block cannot reach.

Hitting Power? Learning How To Improve Your Spike Approach

Watch as Arkansas Tech middle/opposite hitter Sisi spikes the ball over the net after Faith Lutheran varsity setter Ella Rustand sets her a 3 also called a 31 set, her goal being to spike the ball past the block and to the floor before a back row defensive player can get it up during one of our Breakfast Club for College Player training sessions.

You will then spike the ball over the net, past the block and to the floor before a back row defensive player can get it up.

The speed and length of a spike approach can change depending on what play and what kind of set a player receives.

Your spike approach length can also change if you are playing in a crowded volleyball tournament that doesn't have a lot of space between courts.

In this situation you may be forced to change from a four step to a three step approach.

Volleyball Drills For Hitting: Working On A Fast High Reaching Armswing With Tommi, Kate and Carmela

Watch as Cal Poly starting sophomore outside hitter Tommi Stockham and BYU oppo/middle Kate Prior and Boot Camp class vet Carmela Ferrence work on the Hit and Dig drill to work on armswing speed and accuracy.

What should never change for a spiker is the aggressiveness of and speed of the last two steps of the spike approach.

When I coach the volleyball spike approach, I ask my players to "attack the floor" with their last two steps.

I tell them to treat the floor as if its a trampoline and be aggressive in attacking the last two steps..the more aggressive, the more you increase your vertical jump.

The higher your vertical and the higher you reach..the better chance you have of outreaching and beating the block.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
