1. Players setup with a blocking line and attacking line of opposite sides of the net.
2. Coach stands on chair on the side of the attacker and throws the ball into the air.
3. The blocker and attacker both jump in order to joust for the ball and win the point.
This drill needs to be done at a fast pace and with a high level of intensity.
Once everyone has a go at jousting the player throwing the ball needs to swap with another player.
Drill should not last too long just enough time to give every player ago and discover strategies to win the point.
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.
