Watch as Coach Haley Kindall explains, and players demonstrate a few blocking drills that work on positioning and tempo. The solo commit block helps players work on a one-step, hop to close the block in either direction. Coach wants blockers' hands high and shaped around the ball. Next drill, the pin blockers will take one quick step in, press hands over the net for the block. Finally, a couple drills that have the middle and the outside hitter working together to defend first the middle and then the outside, moving quickly. Coach wants the game to seem slow and easy so practicing at double tempo gets players ready.
Haley Kindall was formerly a coach at University of West Florida.
