Skill Attack Volleyball Machine

Unique Volleyball Machine Features

The Skill Attack is the perfect individual volleyball training tool with a ball release point of over 5′, not from floor level like other volleyball machines. It will deliver thousands of reps in daily practice of serve receiving, setting and digging with accuracy and repeatability. Designed for young serious players and individual practice at home as well as competitive club or school youth teams.

Serving: The Skill Attack offers a full range of spins to deliver every type of drill including serves with either sharp downspins or breaking floaters at speeds up to 45+ MPH. It is easily rolled along the serving baseline, changing the angle of serves.

Spiking: The Skill Attack volleyball machine is great for digging drills on the same side of the net with power and accuracy.

Setting: Providing rapid reps at varying intervals, the Skill Attack will provide accurate and consistent soft sets with no spin at any angle and height.

Horizontal throwing head movement with NEW quick-release knob allows you to point ball delivery in any direction, working a player’s weak side to really extend any range.

Vertical movement coupled with the horizontal movement, means you can instantly throw the ball to any point on the court, creating game situations & challenging players to perform in progressively more difficult circumstances.

Portability: NEW quick-disconnect leg design allows this small agile unit to be easily and quickly rolled anywhere on the court or in your backyard or garage.

Storage: The Skill Attack will easily fit through any standard door for safe storage. This unit will also break down instantly for easy transportation; it will fit in the trunk of any car.

Exceptional Training Machine Quality

The frame of the Skill Attack is powder-coated, rust-resistant steel tubing for extreme durability.

The sturdy tri-pod provides stability and ease of movement using lockable, non-marking casters.

Two variable speed motors directly drive two indestructible 6.5″ diameter ball-throwing wheels. Almost instant recovery provides rapid repetition, no waiting for air-powered launch system to recover.

Skill Attack FAQ

What levels of programs purchase the Skill Attack volleyball machine?
The Skill Attack was designed for young serious players and individual practice at home as well as competitive club or school youth teams. It will do everything the larger units will do except for the limited ball release height (set at 5 ft.) and the lower speed (maximum is 45+ MPH).

Can the Skill Attack do a full range of drills?
Yes, the Skill Attack can do digging, serving and team coordination drills. Serving drills: Consistent repetition of a full range of speeds and spins including jump serves, breaking top spins, and floaters. Digging drills: Ball released from the same side of the net provides a downward trajectory and effective spike simulation for digging. Team coordination drills: Throwing head pivots instantly to any point on the court, at a full range of speeds or spin, from any height. This provides a realistic game simulation involving serves, sets, tosses, passes, hits, or spikes.

How is the Skill Attack moved around the court?
The Skill Attack volleyball machine has locking casters that provide instant mobility on the court.

What is the range of ball speeds the Skill Attack machine can deliver and how do you change the speed?
The Skill Attack will deliver a serve at speeds up to 45+ MPH. The speed is quickly adjusted using the speed dials.

What adjustment is required on the machine to change placement of the ball on the court?
This can be done simply by loosening the horizontal and vertical locking handles, allowing the throwing head to freely pivot side-to-side or up-and-down to instantly target any location on the court.

What is the recovery time between throws for the machine?
There is no recovery time necessary. Sports Attack volleyball machines can deliver rapid repetition for any drill. (Some competitive units require a recharging every 8- 10 balls.)

How does the Skill Attack volleyball machine compare to the AirCAT machine in performance?
The Skill Attack has a throwing head that easily pivots (no need to move entire machine), delivering balls to any location on the court. Spin, speed and tempo can be adjusted instantly between throws. Comparatively, with the AirCAT the entire machine (on wheels) must be moved to introduce variation. The AirCAT can not impart a spin as the ball is propelled by air.

How is the Skill Attack most commonly transported?
The machine can easily fit through a gym door and can be transported in a any size car, even a Mini Cooper.

What are the full load operating amps for the volleyball machine?
