Two players stand on one side of the net attacking, while one player is on the other side and will be the blocker.
On the attacking side, a player overhand passes the ball to a team mate who sets it back to him to spike. The blocker make a sideways run and crossover from zone 3 to block the spike.
This drill can be particularly difficult as players must run quickly and adjust their position to get to the contact point.
To ease the task, let the blocker start when he wants, then to increase difficulty ask him to start when ball is being set from Zone 3.
