Rep Ratio: The Hidden Number That Decides How Fast Your Players Improve
Episode 324
Sunday, 8 November, 2026
Most coaches spend hours hunting for new drills when the drills they already run could be giving their players twice as many quality touches. In this episode, I break down rep ratio, a concept I learned working alongside national team and professional coaches, and show you how to restructure simple serve receive and blocking drills so the ball never stops moving and no player is standing around. We dive into: What rep ratio is, and the minimum reps per minute your passers need to actually acquire the skill How 5 to 7 seconds between serves quietly wipes out hours of quality reps over a season Why removing a passer from my serve receive drill doubled everyone’s reps The serving rhythm that keeps a serve receive drill moving with 7 servers in line A national team blocking drill that keeps the ball alive and cycles blockers through faster How shadow blocking turns time in line into extra reps How to audit the drills you already run before you go looking for new ones Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Click here to join my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB Interested in my in-person coaches mastermind (tentatively August 7, 2027)?
