Drills

209 drills, every one in 3D

Warm-ups, serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, defense and game-like drills, from a first PE lesson to a varsity practice.

See it before you teach it

Lifelike players run every drill: passing platforms, sets, stepped approaches, jump attacks and blocks. Drag the court to orbit the camera, step through one touch at a time, slow it down, or switch to a top-down view.

Everything you need to run it

Each drill has its objective, step-by-step instructions, teaching points, variations, equipment and how many players it needs.

Find the right one fast

Filter by skill, level, age group or the number of players in the gym, or search by name when you already know what you want.

Practice plans

Tonight's practice, planned in a few taps

Start from one of 83 lesson templates, or tap Add to plan on any drill and build your own.

Lesson templates by grade

Ready-made sessions for K-2, grades 3-5, junior high and high school. Open one, adjust it, and you're ready for class.

Minutes that add up

Reorder drills, set minutes for each, add a coaching note, and see the running total before you walk into the gym.

Share or print

Send the plan to assistant coaches or print it for the clipboard. Plans are saved on your device, with no account or sync.

Rules

The rulebook, in your pocket

The FIVB Official Volleyball Rules 2025-2028, searchable and readable offline, with a glossary of the key skills.

Searchable

Type "libero" or "net fault" and jump straight to the clause instead of skimming a chapter mid-match.

Glossary included

Plain definitions of the skills players hear about, from a dig and a pancake to a roll-shot and a tip.

Quick reference, not a ruling

Built to get you to the right clause fast. For an official ruling, the publication itself is always the binding source.

Frequently asked

How do the animations work?

Every drill plays as a 3D animation with players, ball flight and step-by-step captions, built from the drill's written instructions. Drag the court to orbit the camera, step through with back and next, slow it down, or switch to the top-down view. The How it works tab always has the full written instructions.

What ages and levels is it for?

Drills are tagged from beginner to advanced, and the 83 lesson templates cover K-2, grades 3-5, junior high and high school. Filter by skill, level, age group or the number of players you have.

Where do the Rules come from?

Rules are reproduced from the FIVB Official Volleyball Rules 2025-2028. The app is a quick-reference tool, not a substitute for the official publication; always defer to it as the binding source for rulings. VB Coach Guide is not affiliated with or endorsed by FIVB.

How do practice plans work?

Tap Add to plan on any drill, or start from a ready-made lesson template. Reorder drills, set minutes for each, add notes, and see a running total. Plans are saved on your device automatically, and you can share or print them for assistant coaches.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once installed, the entire app, every drill, animation, plan and rule, works fully offline. No internet connection is required in the gym.

Is it free?

Yes, free with no ads, no in-app purchases and no account. The app has no analytics, no crash reporting and no network requests at runtime; your practice plans stay on your device. See the privacy policy.
