Fun
Volleyball Drills - Swing the Ball to the Block!
Very
often teams pay no attention to one important offensive method,
which teams in the top level are using very effectively. It is “to
swing the ball to the block with a purpose to cover it up.”
In this method an offensive player intends to swing the ball to the
block and covering defenders will play the ball to the setter again to
build a better opportunity to swing a point for the team.
Offensive
Player
In this type of volleyball play, teamwork
between players is crucial. The
offensive player has to know it is safe to hit the ball to the block.
The spiker has to know there are teammates who will help him/her and
cover the ball.
Defensive
Player
From the defensive player’s angle that will
make defender’s job much
more important. The covering defender knows the hitter trusts him/her
when the hitter swings the ball to the block in purpose. As a result
the covering defender feels he/she really is an important part of the
offense. This method will act as an extra motivation to cover (which in
all honesty is often ignored by many players).
Coaching in
These Fun Volleyball Drills
Coach can
contribute to this lack of covering by bringing up these issues in
practice – coach can use it as an opportunity to teach them about
teamwork and working together as one unit. It is important to get the
coverage scheme organized because it builds trust between the players
and builds up unity.
When this volleyball
drill is executed correctly,
coach will see
how much team members enjoy working together and helping each other.
Tips
for Coaches in these Fun
Volleyball Drills
First keep in mind this is a
very advanced drill and requires very skilled players. We rated this
drill with 4 stars in our scale, which means to make it run smoothly
players need to be very skilled.
When team
practices this
coverage scheme, it is important for coach to
keep things simple.
In the beginning it is not a
good
idea to add any
other aspects to the drill – for example do not allow spikers to be
trying to kill the ball, their job is to swing a ball that will be
blocked and can be
covered.
Make your players focus just on
covering
the spiker and working together as a team. Every player’s job is to
make up a drill that serves one purpose
only - to get the ball covered.
One more time: coverage
combined with offense is complicated and difficult enough by itself,
therefore no other aspects should be added into the drill.
It is very
likely that players are not able to get the drill going in the
beginning, therefore be ready to ease up the drill. For example the
coach might want to perform the swing to the
block, maybe always catching the ball when it returns to her/him.
If
this drill is done with patience and coach assists by
swinging the ball (if needed), you'll notice how much fun helping each
other
is for the
players.
