The emphasis of this drill is on proper mechanics of blocking specifically swing blocking. Players will work on their timing on blocking the middle attack and outside / right side attack. Middle blockers well block one on one in the middle and then transition to assist with an outside block. Right side blockers, during this drill, will solo block.
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.
Most teams win the dig and then hand the point straight back with a slow, predictable transition swing. The best 2026 sides treat the moment after the dig as their sharpest scoring chance, feeding the middle in transition and running first-tempo attacks off a defensive ball.
