Volleyball drills for technique block / net defense

• Player saves
• Reception is made --> pass given

The trainer hits the ball and the players have to decide if they want to block the ball and if so where.

• the ball should be blocked and if so where. So the midfielder moves to the relevant side and the non-blocking front player moves back.
