In preparation for the upcoming 2025 AVCA Super Clinic, we are releasing a FULL 22-minute session from the 2024 AVCA Super Clinic -- which is part of our Volleyball Coaches Insider +Plus video library. Free access to this video will expire on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 - Enjoy!
Watch as Coach Kellen Petrone discusses, and athletes demonstrate backcourt / backrow defense. This session highlights key concepts such as using a floating target when digging, the importance of a strong second touch, and maintaining high effort throughout defensive drills. Coach Petrone introduces the "Point Blank Defense" drill, where players move progressively closer to the hitter and adjust their digging technique based on distance, all while using lighter balls to reduce injury risk and maximize control.
