+keybarbarosa Very good comment, the only thing is that when you teach young kids to use their arms you also add the fact that they will be moving a lot and won't be stable. We really want to make sure that you are stable before you learn to swing block with your arms, but yes if you can master it, definitely use your arms
I think that it would be good to show footage from behind so that we could more easily take on your perspective since we all would be facing the same way.
I've tried this but myself being 5'6" and my first time playing this year it's harder to help block both side hitters. Do you have any tips for a middle. I played great for my first year but it was kinda crazy on the beginning.
+strawhelyperfectx If you are shorter, really work on your reading. That means, get better at reading the setter and knowing where the ball will be set. Work on your eye sequence...in order, look at 1. The pass 2. The setter 3. The ball 4. The hitter 5. The ball....When you master the reading part, you will move very well at the net and will be there where you need to be. Once you improve your jumping, your blocking will be great. Keep it up! Volleyball is awesome...have fun!
Don't let your size get you down. I'm 2 meters tall and have had to play as middle blocker, but my issue was I was always too late to block the side hitters. I've seen plenty of shorter people block way better because of various combinations of 1) better reading, 2) better reflexes, 3) more explosive movement or 4) simply jumping higher than me.
+Volleyball Videos I absolutely want to do a video on middle hitting soon. I think it is one of the hardest thing to teach young players and there are a lot of misconceptions about it. Thanks for the suggestion and I will work on that in my next batch of videos. In the meantime, check out this one here ruclips.net/video/fXXmUly02eM/видео.html
I want to ask a question about the hands while you're in the air. Do you find it more important to teach players to reach high over the net, press over more, or even balance of both?.. Or none of those answers lol. Thank you!!
Very Interesting video, it would be nice if you can volume down the intro and volumen up the rest of the video, great tips by the way. I want to learn if there is any technique or proper approach in order to jump higher on spikes.
+Jonathan K Thanks for your comments, and I know there is a problem with my sound. That's because I do my videos on my ipad and that I record the sound with my ipod. I need a better system for better sound, totally agree. As for your spike approach, check out this video and let me know if it helps you and if you have more questions ruclips.net/video/Ea1_02seb9E/видео.html
im a shortie like 4'10 and I learned to block so my coach made me from setter to middle blocker in 4 days. Just because I can block. everyone jumps higher than they just dont use their arms
@@tiana1736 i'm 5'2 as well and i would say its very possible try to do as much research as you can and practice at home that's the best way to get better!
I have played libero for 3 years and because of this I am good at reading were the ball will be hit or who will be getting set on the court so Recently my couch has switch my position to middle blocker. The problem i'm having though is that i'm pretty short so i'm having a problem blocking the other teams middle players. So what is a exercise i can do to increase the height of my jump?
How can I improve my reading? I'm really bad at noticing where the ball will be set. Also, what exercises should I do in order to improve my jump height? Thank you.
+Milos Miljkovic In order to read better, you have to block more in real game situations. Practice looking at different things and you will learn where to look to get the faster read. I can give you the answer but it wouldn't be much fun so here is what I suggest you practice: - look at the ball - look at the setter's hands - look at the setter's body Try those different things when blocking and see how fast you rect in each case. You will find the best way to do it!!
My team focuses on olympic lifts like power cleaning and hang cleaning to improve your vertical jump. My vertical increased 4 inches in 8 months before I had surgery
+Johannes Kreutziger Yes, your coach is absolutely right. Keep your thumbs up and pulled back as much as you can with your hand stiff....but you know what?? You will still hurt your thumb. I have destroyed the ligaments in my thumbs so often in my career. As a middle blocker, you can't avoid it...but hey, it's part of the game and taping our fingers is the only way we, volleyball players, can look tough :-)
i can block well, i’m 5’8” and i’m the middle blocker in my team. the problem is that most of the time, i close my eyes whenever i’m about to block. what should i do to improve this?
Tbh the eye thing just comes with experience. I used to do that all the time. As you play the game more, you get better. Try to have an offensive mindset when blocking instead of a defensive one. Make the hitter afraid of you
+Malcolm Sondrup I have made one on jump float, you can find it here ruclips.net/video/549ZWOHTinw/видео.html I will for sure work on a spike serve one shortly Thanks for the suggestion
Sir I was wondering if I its a fine block, if I'm like 172cm and a freshman in high school, is it a fine block even if my hands are above but not my whole arm. I am still pretty young and was planning on training my jump height.
Question. Isn't it over the net blocking fault? IF your hands extend in opponents space? Or it's a blocking fault only if you touch the ball before your opponent?
Heya just wondering on the angles of the hands when blocking. I've heard two different things, some say angle it around the ball so both hands/arms are pointed a little inwards; I've also heard others say angle them towards the middle of the court. To me I feel like the second way would be a better way of deflecting it into the court rather than out, what's your opinion?? Thanks in advance. :D
+Joface333 Thanks for you comment. It depends a little where you are blocking from in the sense that if you are blocking from position 4 or position 2, you want to angle your outside hand towards the court. Otherwise if your hand is hit, then it might go outside and you will get tooled, and you don't want that happening. In your case, where do you block from most of the time?
Looking at high level volleyball games could help you see what those players at the highest levels are doing. It is really important to get those hands over the net as fast as possible. If you look at David Smith for the USA volleyball team, he does it really well.
+Tony Yayo 6“6 but I wasn't always this tall so I worked hard on jumping high and then got a growth spurt so I was very lucky with that. Do you use your arms to jump when you block?
+Jump Volleyball I jump somewhat like you, except not straight up, I'm still working on that. I play football and basketball, meaning I'm typically going to jump up and forward. In volleyball this will result in me touching the net. P.S thanks for actually replying! 😃
A common mistake when blocking is taking the first step away from the net. That results in the second step coming back towards the net to compensate and actually falling into the net. Try to keep your swing parallel to the net and you can reduce the movement in your arms to help you. No problem, don't hesitate if you have other questions
in your slow motion video your feet are stopped facing the net perpendicularly, but in ur demo, ur feet stop at an angle, and then u adjust in midair to make it at perpendicular. is it really possible to halt everytime like in ur slow mo, since u also cant demonstrate the same thing out that time...
I play volleyball and i can attack the ball hard but im not big, so this is really hard for me, i have just 1,69 cm. What i mean it's that when i forcemy jump i just can pass my elbow through the net, so, how i am suposse to block being such little?
+Enzo Fujihara Thanks for your comment. Just so I understand properly, you do your hands go over the net at all? If your hands go over, you can block. All you need is your hand to be close to the net and be solid. Taller players will bring the ball down and you will be there waiting for them!! Small player blocks are the best....and the most annoying for tall players ;-)
I am good at reading i have no problem with that like: 90% i know where the ball will go even before the setter know it ... But the main problem is that i hit the net with my arms.. Like I do perfect block (my coach says me that but the problem is that i hit the net with my arms )when i jump i am 70% blocking him.. but the problem is that my arms hit the net ... any tips ? ( i tried to tren i and i did it .. but in gameplay again happend..) any tips for training or smth like that ? :) and nice videos :) Pz from Bulgaria
+Kuche Drush Hello to everyone in Bulgaria, I have been there to play before, I think it was in Bansko, nice place! The only trick I can give you for not touching the net is to not swing your arms down. Some players jump and try to reach very high before they push the hands over the net and in doing so, they bring the arms down and touch the net. The trick is to put the hands over the net as soon as they clear the tape. That means that you will push over the net as you are skill getting up in the air. On your way down, make sure to pull your arms by your side by bending the elbows. But really, in practice, do 10 pushups or 10 dives every time you touch the net. Hold yourself accountable for touching the net and give yourself a small punishment. Get rid of this habit...you control it!!
Im a player in volleyball,i can do sitter,spike,and blockers,and also resever,but the problem is im short,im 5'5 only,i want to know how to get high jump.pls help me wt the best and pass to get high jump,thank you
+Jeck Calimlim Jumping higher is something everyone wishes to do. We don't do training videos to jump higher but I did a video on jumping technique that may help you, check it out ruclips.net/video/Ea1_02seb9E/видео.html
I am 1.72 cm and my vertical allows me to jump with my chest reaching above the net . However in order ti jump high i need a longer set up time than my taller teammates or opponents. Tips to be able to read the block and jump higher faster ?
I noticed your feet went over the center line, under the net, as u were in the air and then land over the center line...I thought that was a violation!?
+Chris Trout Great observation but remember that you are allowed to step on the center line with your foot but that your foot cannot be completely on the opponent's side. Does that answer your question?
But blocking means penetrating over the block... unless you're soft blocking. how else does he expect you to block the ball onto your opponents court? Does your coach even play volleyball?
+K-min Lim I guess he means like you can't go over the net until the ball reaches the net line. for example if the apossing setter sets tight you can't block the set until the ball is above the net line
Or if you are back row, you can't block, (you have to wait for the ball to drop below the top off the net on your side if you are inside of the ten foot line before you can touch it), but I'm not sure if you are referring to this situation.
+carlitos220 Absolutely, just like K-min Lim said, you have to put your hands over the net if you want to block the ball but your coach is right in saying that you are not allowed to do that before the third contact. As a matter of fact, the rules of volleyball state that you can only touch the third contact of the opposite team on their side of the net. So stay discipline on tight passes but press hard over the net on hits and block as many balls as you can...best feeling ever!!
You said not to extend your arms when moving to the blocking place but you did it at your presentation. I think the extended arms are pretty natural.
+keybarbarosa Very good comment, the only thing is that when you teach young kids to use their arms you also add the fact that they will be moving a lot and won't be stable.
