May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #249: Whole Team Block Drill

Tip of the Week

In order to get your hitters to take a look before they hit, here´s a good drill: we call it the "Whole Team Block."

We set up a 6-player team, have a coach toss a free ball across the net for them to pass. They run a play and go up to hit.

The twist is, we´ve got 6 or 7 blockers at the net, trying to shut down the hit. The hitters aren´t allowed to tip over the top of the block, so they must try to find a way around or through.

This drill is also good for your hit coverage, since alot of balls come back off the block. We´ve used this to help our hitters get smarter, instead of just blasting away.
