Watch as Coach Phil Nickel explains, and players (middles) demonstrate this arm swing drill. This drill has four parts and starts with a player receiving a toss from the coach and hitting the ball under the net. The next progression is hitting 2 balls in a row under the net. The 3rd progression has the players lining up behind the 10-foot line and they must shuffle, shuffle, and hit the ball UNDER the net. The final progression is shuffle, shuffle and hit the ball OVER the net.
