Blocking: The Wall

Objectives:
Practice blocking balls attacked from off the net, and develop blocking mentality.

  1. Coach tosses free ball over the net to one of the hitters.
  2. Hitter passes the ball to the setter.
  3. Setter sets a back row attack.
  4. Hitters attack from behind 10' line.
  5. Blockers must close and penetrate the net.
  6. Blockers get a point for every ball that passes them.
  7. Repeat for a set number of reps ( 10, 15,  or 20 ).
  8. Blocking group has punishment ( 5 pushups, 5 situps, etc. ) for each point.

Note:
Do not give blockers points for balls that have no chance of being contacted at the net.  Do not count hitting errors into the net or antennae as a repetition.
