The receiving team only gets points for tooling the block – and the tool can’t be playable on the other side of the net – or by covering a blocked ball and then getting a kill.
Covering the block is one of the important little things that great volleyball players do every single time. When you’re well-positioned to bring a ball up after your teammate has been blocked, it can lead to many extra point opportunities during the course of a match.
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.
