Watch as Coach Kellen Petrone explains, and players demonstrate this point blank defense drill. This digging drill starts with a defender in the back corner, advancing a step closer to the hitter after every dig. As the defender moves into a point blank range, using their hands becomes difficult, so they focus on keeping them apart and scooping the ball with their arms. This drill provides multiple dig reps from various spots on the court, helping defenders build quick reactions and control.
