I love the idea of starting the approach with the right foot in the air. I keep telling our middles to do a two foot approach but I haven't been able to figure out how to force it until now. Thanks.

Middle hitters think that the further you're away from the net, the higher you'll jump, and harder you'll hit. The gist to middle hitters (quick set A, B) is pace. Starting on or in front of the 3m line makes a lot of sense. Good video.

Working with my middles right now and this came in clutch, great video.

should be good to note that this is different for mens volleyball, male middles are larger, so their strides are in turn bigger. For a high effeciency attack, they should be approaching from behind the 3 meter line. Two step approaches at or infront of the 3 meter line should only be used at times where they do not have time to transition back for an attack.

Good stuff. My pet peeve is middles that decide their approach point is 3 ft behind the 3m line, directly in the middle of the court. They become sort of a roadblock. I like the emphasis on approaching at an angle.
