Right from the beginning, making a proper approach is the key to becoming a great spiker. So think about making your beginning players, and those players who can´t seem to get it together later on, do air spikes everyday as part of their warm up routine.
Have them get back to the 10´ line, make their 2 or 3 step approach, depending upon which approach style you prefer, and go through the entire motion, including a high reach and follow through.
Every day, their bodies will begin to develop a muscle memory of the proper execution of the approach, and players will begin to experience more success.
