🏐 XR1 Focus Session: Serve–Receive & First-Ball Side-Out

Hi Volleyball Enthusiasts,
This XR1 focus session centers on one of the most decisive phases of the game: serve–receive and first-ball side-out within a 5:1 system. We will work on reception stability, setter positioning, and efficient attacking options from good first contact, followed by competitive games where these elements come together.
The session is designed for advanced players who want to improve consistency under pressure and translate clean reception into effective offense.
