Volleyball coaches aim to take a team to a higher level by creating a certain atmosphere, focusing more effectively, and developing an environment that promotes aggressive play. This type of overly aggressive play can result in a passing error or in other passing problems in the future. There is an optimal level of aggressive play, and it is the coach’s challenge to teach the team how to maximize it and how to sustain it.
One mistake that hitters often make is thinking that they can always score without having the ball touched by the block; as a result, either they put the ball to the ground and score or they avoid the block but hit the ball out of bounds. The hitter should still have the advantage even when receiving a trap set-that is, a ball set so close to the net that the block is practically touching the ball before the hitter is. Some hitters make the mistake of shoving the ball toward the center of ...
Setters normally block on the right side and need only move a few steps to prepare to set the ball. The setter is the only player who will run toward the net once a teammate digs the ball, since everyone else moves away from the net to prepare to hit. Once you make the dig, call out the name of the player who should set the ball (e.g., "Bobbi, set!")
In order to sustain team competitiveness, players should experience competitive situations during practices in drills that mimic the intensity of a match. If practices are slow or fail to challenge players, it will be hard for the team to sustain competitiveness during matches. Many teams can play aggressive volleyball, but only the top teams can sustain their competitiveness from set to set, match to match, and week to week.
Procedure: The tosser initiates the toss over the net to a digger on team A. Team A’s setter sets the right-side attacker as team B’s left front and middle front (quick-attacker) form a two-player block. The setter on team A sets the left-side attacker as the right front (setter) and middle front (quick-attacker) on team B form a two-player block. The setter sets the middle front (quick-attacker) a quick attack (can be in front of or behind the setter) while at least two blockers on the ...
The strategy to block the line and dig inside is a good choice for a team who has better diggers than blockers. Assuming that most of your team’s opponents will prefer to hit crosscourt, the strategy to block the line and dig inside is a good choice for a team who has better diggers than blockers. Teams that incorporate this strategy will have their outside blockers set the block with their outside arm just inside the antenna, giving the attacker limited opportunities to attack the line.
