This Session works on your players' ability to react quickly, get low and keep the ball alive with the Defensive Dig
The dig is an invaluable skill which no self-respecting player should be without. It enables your players to keep a point alive by preventing it from hitting the floor after the opponent has played an attacking shot into your half and also gives your side a starting point from which they can look to build their own attack!
There's more to the dig though than simply swinging your arms blindly at the ball which is what we look at in this week's session.
Your players should be thinking about their body position, their movement into the correct area and always be watching for visual cues. That way they're ready to react and can avoid having to react late to perform a dramatic, diving dig shot!
Volleyball demands explosive power, quick reactions, and endurance for long matches. Sport-specific conditioning prepares athletes for the unique physical demands of the game while reducing injury risk.
Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.
Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
