Players stand on either side of the net, with one player throwing the ball up for their team mate to block.
Ball trajectory assessment and judging the correct time to react are essential to blocking effectively.
Ask players to block to specific areas, such as left, right or centre of court.
New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
