Blocking Footwork

Players start in a single-file line in left front. The first player in line moves up to a blocking position on the net and jumps to block. She then uses her blocking footwork to move to middle front and does another blocking jump there. She then uses her blocking footwork to move to right front and does a third blocking jump there and then falls in at the end of the line. Once the first player reaches the middle front position, the next player in line may begin her turn. Make sure you have players do this going from left front across to right front and then also from right front going across to left front (you may even want to have them go left, center, right on the one side and then duck under the net and go right, center, left along the other side of the net before returning to the end of the line).

VARIATIONS:
1) When doing this on only one side of the net, you can have coaches (or other players) stand on chairs opposite each blocking position and hold a ball up near the top of the net. Have blockers try to touch or push the ball back against the “holders”.
