Attacking · Intermediate

Open Net Power Game

Train the deep-court hard swing against a 3-defender formation — no blockers.

How to run it

1
Attacking side (other side of net) receives easy free balls from coach: pass-set-hit HARD into the deep court. Short half is out of bounds. Attackers rotate every point. Defense scores on hitting errors OR a dig + catch by a teammate. Offense scores when defense cannot dig and catch. Games to 7, rotate positions.
2
Coach emphasis: Deep court is the target. Hard swing, smart placement.

Train the deep-court hard swing against a 3-defender formation — no blockers.

Lock in the 3-step beach approach and a full high-contact arm swing.

Teach the two highest-percentage beach shots: short cross (cut) and deep line.

Use slow-mo partner video to fix approach flaws and add cross-body / wrist-away swings.

Train the attacker's read on the setter — go on the setter's hand release, not on the ball flight.

Bridge from warm-up swings to live attacking against a free ball — pass, set, hit cycle with limited misses.

Apply the scoop-throw torque pattern to live swings off a tossed ball.
