DESCRIPTION

Players start on the attack line and run forwards towards the net. Upon reaching the net, they take two steps sidewards before running backwards to the attack line. From here they repeat the test, all the way across the court.

Ask players to run in pairs especially when stepping sideways so there would be not much area between them, just as there would be when double-blocking in a match.

Blocking to perfection! Use this plan to coach the correct technique and positioning to your players so that they can perfect the block!

Follow And Block:

Three players stand on one side of the net, one in zone 2, one in zone 3 and one in zone 4. These players set the ball in the air and then set to the next player, while a fourth player on the other side of the net follows the ball and jumps to block when each player sets it in the air.

Crossover And Block:

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.
