Digging line, digging middle, digging cross court.
Working on
- improving your digging form
- Making a playable ball inside the ten foot line that a setter can get to.
- Keeping the digging platform two inches below belly button level and not swinging the arms but freezing the platform on ball contact so you just redirect hard hits to the intended target
- Diggers stay for 3,4,5 rounds in a row
- Hitters work on correct hitting form ...contacting the ball high... like they would if they were hitting on the net.
Is it me or does this feel like a video game?
