Brrrr! In these frigid winter temperatures, a warm up sounds pretty good! Here’s a blocking volleyball drill that will get your team’s feet moving in the right direction. It’s good to do this type of “form-up” (a form warmup) drill at the beginning of practice to get blood flowing, especially in cold gyms like this one.

The video below makes the drill seem pretty simple. Two-ball blocking uses the footwork demoed in our Swing Blocking post, PLUS it helps players learn to reach over the net.

Almost in synchrony, the blockers move toward the right side of the net- 5 reps all the way across the net. Then, 5 reps toward the outside (or left side of the net). Then switch for new set of “warm-up enthusiasts.”

Assign your own number of sets depending on time, skill level, and need. These girls may get a few more sets in until they’re warm enough to take off their sweats. lol.
