Hitters vs. 6
Three hitters on one side with passer and setter. Three blockers on opposite side with defenders. Coach enters in ball from blocker's side. Setter may set any of the three hitters. (basic sets at first)
emphasis placed on proper footwork of blockers and reading the opposition (ball, setter, ball, hitter)
-introduce inside vs. outside base for blocking
-defenders work on understanding: perimeter defense, body positioning and checking.
Scoring. 1 point for kill, 2 points for block, 1 point for dig. Game is played to ten points.
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.
