Volleyball drill: defence on attack of position 2 and 4

Suitable for the following techniques: passing

Defence on attack of position 2 and 4

  • Coach throws a setup on 3 and X at side A. 3 and X attack.
  • The 6 on side B are in rally formation and defend the attacks.


Blocking:
  • 1 and X on side B look at their attacker to know where to put the block.
  • X1 joins X and 1 by looking at their feet and placing hers next to them.


Defense:
  • Move after the setup is given and move as long as you can.

Moving as long as you can is in my case the moment the attacker barely touches the ball. At that moment, you make a split step as a defender and make sure that your body's centre of gravity (LZP) has been brought forward. So do not move backwards when the ball is hit because your LZP is then behind you and you are too late to defend the ball in front of you.

If the ball is defended, then rally.
