Middles Must Find the Ball with Kate Wood – McGill-Toolen Catholic High School (AL)

Watch full video with Volleyball +Plus here. • October 27, 2026 • By American Volleyball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach Kate Wood explains, and players demonstrate how they train middles to track the ball. Middles need to be able to come off the net, turn and find the ball, and enter back in. Coach has middles run through their blocking footwork and bounce the ball from different positions. Coach watches the players' eyes, making sure that they can find the ball. Middles focus on communication, footwork, tracking the ball, and keeping elbows back.
