Triangle (or Square) Passing

Multi-directional passing in a small group — train turning the platform and moving the feet.

How to run it

1
Toss to the right, pass to the right, catch, repeat. When consistent, switch directions. Progression 1: continuous passing (no catch). Progression 2: two or more balls in the rotation simultaneously.
2
Coach emphasis: Turn the platform with the body, not the arms.

Keep building

Train athletes to beat the ball to the spot, slow their feet, and let platform angle solve direction.

Train passers to read serve direction early, move their feet first, and arrive balanced before contact.

Build a clean, repeatable hand-set through deliberate contrast drills that isolate each fault.

Teach setters to travel with the ball using the correct footwork pattern for each direction.

Build the full library of scramble touches so athletes have an answer when the rally goes sideways.

Foundational passing technique drill — high feedback, slow tempo, fix faults before adding speed.

Many of our drills are adapted from the coaching resources at Better at Beach and the FIVB.
