Volleyball: Block

The player with the ball throws the ball up towards the net, setting themsleves up to then try and smash the ball onto the target mat.

The player on the other side of the net has to try and block the smash and stop it hitting the target.

Players stand on both sides of the net and all players have a ball in their hand. They are supposed to jump at the same time as the player opposite them and try to barge the opponent's ball out of their hands.

Push hard with the opposite side leg to the direction you want to move, close to the outside blocker. Land on the leg for breaking, put the other foot down and jump to block, don't drift in the block, and land in the same place as you take off.

The blocker on the outside gets in the correct position. The feeder on the platform throws the ball up and the blocker moves to block. The outside blocker needs to be in front of the feeders hitting arm and both blockers need to be penetrating the net trying to block the ball. Start off easy and feed the players rhythm, as the players get more competent, increase the speed and distance they have to move.
