Hitting Around the Block Drill with Phil Nickel – Dallas College Eastfield Campus

Watch full video with Volleyball +Plus here. • May 21, 2025 • By American Volleyball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach Phil Nickel explains, and players demonstrate this hitting around the block drill that uses pool noodles instead of live blockers. He uses different colored noodles to make it easier for the hitters to see the blocker on their swing approach. The drill starts with the hitters receiving a set and hitting the ball to Zone A, attacking one side or the other. After they are finished with Zone A, repeat the process with Zone B.
