How to Train Your Offensive Systems: The 6-on-6 Skeleton and My Offense vs. Defense Drill

The Volleyball By Design Podcast

About

Designing your offensive systems is one thing. Training them so your players know exactly where to be and get the most quality reps is another.


In this episode, I break down how to train your team’s systems in practice. That starts with knowing every scenario your players need to recognize: in-system, out-of-system, medium pass at 8 and 12 feet, sideline, the 3–4 zone, and the corners.


You’ll learn:



    Why high level coaches use one “skeleton” 6-on-6. 
    Alan Knipe’s rotation order (1-4-2-5-6-3).
    How to set the variables. 
    How the way you enter the ball decides what you train
    My favourite systems drill, Offense vs. Defense. 
    How to run it with only 9 or 10 players.

If your team looks lost the moment the pass isn’t perfect, this episode gives you a plan to fix it.
