I haven’t seen much storming here yet so I decided to post this video where our girls demonstrate the second progression of tempo hitting. They’re still learning to make it rain. Not bad for 14-year-olds, eh?
If you haven’t already, check out Progression 1.

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).
Here’s the last part of the slide approach. This a good way to get a ton of repetition on the very vital jumping off one foot step. Notice how she drives that right knee up.
Since our transition-approach videos have been getting so much buzz on youtube. Thought I’d post another one.
Outside Hitters, this one’s for you!
In this demonstration, our outside hitter is swinging out to assist the block on the left side. In which case, she would open to the court right-left-hop, turn then immediately moving to a modified 3-step approach.

The slide attack is often terminal when done correctly. Here’s a demo on how to do a slide approach after a blocking transition.
In this demonstration, our middle blocker is assisting the block on the right side. And she’ll transition just like she did in this drill. She opens to the court left-right-hop, turns then immediately moves to an approach for a slide set.
For the slide approach, she’ll “show and go.” Show (straight step to the net with her left foot) then turn parallel to the net and “go” right-left for a slide swing. Really work on driving that right knee up. The jump is one-footed.
Or you could give her the commands “setter, sideline, ball.” First step straight toward the setter/net, second step toward the sideline and the third toward the ball.
