Blocking Volleyball Terms and Definitions For Players On Defense at the Net
Since the block is the first opportunity to stop the opposing team from hitting into your court, your blocking technique and timing have to be on point.
These blocking volleyball terms and definitions describe blocking technique and form you need to have when you're about to move above the net.
This blocking information will help you know what to do and where to be when you are on defense in the front row.
In these photos of college players blocking, the players are "sealing the net with their block" which can be seen well from this side view.
They are "closing down the space between their armpits and the net" in order to get as far over the net as possible to block the opposing team hitter.
Can you see how little space there is between their blocking hands, arms and bodies and the net?
There's very little if any space.
Each player's armpits are as close to the net as possible without touching it.
