There are a couple of volleyball blocking drills players do in our Volleyball Voice Boot Camp classes and semi-private training to help you improve your blocking skills at the net.
Then you need to be able to time your block jump so your open palmed hands reach and penetrate over the net just before the opposing hitter hits or contacts the ball to stop it from crossing the net into your court.
The Volleyball Blocking Drills Players Do To Improve Block Jump Timing Against An Opposing Hitter
One of the simple volleyball drills for beginners I do often is to have a player standing on a box on one side of the net.
Their hands and arms are penetrating over the net. I will hit into their blocking hands which should be angled towards the middle of my court before I hit the ball.
I will hit 10 - 12 balls into their block before giving them a chance to shake out their arms and do another set.
This gives the player a chance to get comfortable
watching or reading the hitter
interpreting the cues that the hitter is showing them and adjusting accordingly
feeling a hard hit spike and getting use to having their blocking hands penetrating the other side of the net
reinforcing how strong their shoulders need to be while pressing them over the net
Advanced Volleyball Blocking Drills Players Do To Improve Blocking Footwork Along The Net
In every practice I do and I teach my coaches to do a blocking footwork sequence drill at the net.
It's a series of multi patterned steps and movements that the players do while moving in and out of their "loaded" ready blocking position and moving along the net.
The focus is to
increase body control at the net while not touching the net
moving along the net while not touching the net
performing various jump series and footwork series while staying the same arm distance from the net without having to adjust their position
using peripheral and wide vision to be able to see their hitter and feel their teammate blocking next to them without having to turn and look at them
Now hopefully some of these volleyball blocking drills players do in our training and classes will help you control your body so you can increase the number ofblocks you successfully perform in a match.
