April 9, 2010, Newsletter Issue #244: Tougher, Smarter Backrow Players
Tip of the Week
Hereīs a good drill I picked up from Victor Lindal, former coach of the Canadian National Team:
It involves playing a game, but only using 5 players, and no center fronts. Have your outside blockers block only as they would if there were a CF, donīt try to cover the hole created by the lack of a second blocker.
The purpose of this game is to help backrow players learn to read hittersī eyes, body language, approach, and armswing, as well as reading the sets themselves.
Having no CF allows plenty of 1-on-1 hits, making the backrow have to read that much better in order to pop hits back up.
Itīs helped our defense immensely, and Iīd recommend this drill to anyone wanting to develop tougher, smarter backrow players.
