Yea! Finally! A new volleyball drill video!
What are we working on here:
- blocking (obviously)
- footwork
- speed
- vertical
- avoiding waterfalls (when the other team hits into your block and the ball falls on your side of the net. Very embarrassing.)
This blocking video is pretty self explanatory: wash, rinse, repeat. Feel free to assign your own reps.
Think you know everything about blocking form? Prove it. Tell me what’s wrong with the high school volleyball player’s form in the video below.
Volleyball hitters and blockers: 8 steps to get those feet moving along the net.
1. Get a partner. 1 blocker/hitter.
2. Position yourself on the opposite of the net from your partner.
3. Partner has two balls helping blocker keep arms wide on block.
4. Half block; then transition.
5. Repeat 5 times.
6. Switch.
7. Partner does 5 reps.
8. Move to different blocking position and repeat steps 1-7.
As always, feel free to let us know if you have a question or comment (below).
How not to block a volleyball. Don’t try this in a volleyball game. Ouch.
Since we’ve been talking a lot about blocking and transition, I thought I’d share this EPIC block video. It’s only 16 seconds but it was 16 seconds of awesomeness for that blocker. Nothing in volleyball makes you feel more studly than a shut down like that.
