In this episode, I dive into two important trends shaping the game right now. First, I break down the new rules being introduced by FIVB in 2026 and what they could mean for the future of volleyball.
I also share some interesting out-of-system trends I’ve been seeing during the 2026 playoffs. Teams are becoming much more efficient when they’re out of system, and we’re seeing new setting solutions from both liberos and left sides that are creating more stable and effective offensive options.
Key topics discussed:
2026 FIVB rule changes and their potential impact
How out-of-system offense continues to evolve
New setting strategies from liberos
The growing role of left sides in out-of-system setting
Tactical trends emerging in the 2026 playoffs
How coaches can adapt to these changes in their own programs 🏐
