The problem
Players get to the right spot late, or nobody agrees where the back row should be.
The fix
Three defenses, one shared starting position, and a position table for every attack direction.
The same three defenses used at BYU Hawaii. In 1996, Black Defense met the first-tempo offense of Nittaidai, the Japanese collegiate champion, and BYU Hawaii won in three sets.
What's included
- Yellow Defense (foundational): Beginner and Intermediate columns
- Red Defense (intermediate): tighter tip coverage behind a strong block
- Black Defense (advanced): built to stop fast, first-tempo offenses
- Court diagram and position reference for each defense and attack direction
- Five universal defense principles
- Tracking callouts that link to the CRITERION Defensive Transition baseline
A look inside

How it works
- Teach the shared starting position first.
- Call Yellow, Red or Black before the rally.
- Track defensive transition to see if the call is working.
