Does anyone know any volleyball drills for middle blocker/hitter?
First, let’s cover the blocking….Most professional’s don’t get more than 4-5 blocks in a match, so don’t stress about not blocking. What you need to worry about is making sure you close your block with the left or right side hitter. It’s there job to set the block in the proper place and it’s your job to get right beside them so there is a solid two person block. This can be accomplished by working on your footwork/footspeed. When blocking in the middle alone, make sure you’re watching the hitter’s shoulders as they approach and you want to jump a fraction of a second after they do. You need to change your mind about blocking, the first thing you should be accomplishing is taking the easiest hit away from the hitter. For example, if the middle is approaching like they’re going to hit to position 5, then you need to set up so you take position 5 away from them, that’s all you can do. If the hitter is really good and able to swing across their body to hit to 1, there’s nothing you can
