Passing and Decision-Making are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live field situations, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Attacking.
Ruby is doing well with setting, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Ruby has moved Attacking from Capable into Consistent. Attacking measures timing, approach, contact, and the ability to swing with control and purpose in system.

Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player’s broader development level. They are based on the average of all skill milestones in the report.
Skills may be at different milestones. The overall stage shows the player’s combined development over time.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.

Ruby's Skill Build: Attacking
Your drill this week: Tip vs. Hit Decision Drill
Train players to read the block and decide in real-time whether to hit hard or tip over/around blockers.
Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.
Smart attackers use the tip not just as a softer option but as a tactical weapon against poor block positioning.
Set up one or two cone targets deep in the court and two targets close to the net in open areas.
See the block before you swing
Success is making the right choice 4 out of 5 times, when you tip and the blocker closes, or swing when they don't, that's reading, not guessing.
Add a second blocker; player must find the seam or tip off the blocker's hands.
