Digs in Volleyball: Fundamental Techniques for Successful Defense
This guide is designed to help players learn how to use their forearms to create a strong platform that deflects an attack and improves your digs in volleyball.
Reacting to the Attack: BSBH
When the opposing team is in serve receive,
BALL
-you should watch the ball passed by the passer that travels to the setter so you can read and interpret what the setter has to do in order to get to the pass
SETTER
-then watch the setter's movements to see how they can get to the ball, if its easily or if they have to move to chase the ball down after a bad pass and that will tell you if the setter can set all their hitters or if they can only set one or two of their hitters
BALL
-then train your eyes quickly back to the ball's trajectory out of the setter's hands to see if its a high ball outside or delivered low, fast and quick to the middle or to the opposite hitter behind them so you can adjust your feet quickly to get to your adjusted position outside the shadow of your blockers where you can see the hitter's arm when it hits the ball
HITTER
-Now finally train your eyes on the player's hitting arm as they contact the ball to see if they're going to direct the ball to your side of the court where your platformed arms and hands are quickly placed together to deflect the ball back into the air in order to keep it off the floor
This is how to anticipate the best position to be in to defend the attack based on the hitter's approach.

It’s June 2023 and 9 years ago this month my award-winning Breakfast Club classes that I created before coming to STUPAK Community Center which combined volleyball training with a strength and conditioning component for jr/high school players were at the height of their popularity.
Fun fact: This month 9 years ago I started preparations for my first club year for my own Volleycats Elite club to begin that next club season (2015-16).
Coaching has always been my passion and helping Vegas volleyball grow and be recognized for producing great homegrown talent has always been my mission.
This is my way of thanking you all and my Vegas community for believing in me and what I’ve been doing all these years and I’m so grateful many of you find it worth coming back each summer to break a sweat, give me a hug and get your butt kicked while getting some reps and prepping for your next season.
-You can rsvp for any dates on the schedule to hold your spot but if you cancel twice without letting me know ahead of time you forfeit your chances of training for that month and will have to try again the next month.
-I will bring waivers for guests but if you’ve been with me or have trained with me before I still have yours on file so no need.
-I reserve the right to provide service to anyone for any reason
