How to do this when you’re short? I can easily get over the net if I have an approach but vertical with no momentum makes it very hard.

[@VolleyCountrycom]

Check my video with advice how t block for short players😉

I’m 5’8 but I can jump and block consistently, I’d if wrong to sink low and swing my arms back to get higher as I jump? The down side would be a longer time to reach up. Should I keep my arms up and ready instead of swinging?

[@VolleyCountrycom]

It depends on the type of block. When blocking alone without any step then I suggest arms up (also when you are middle blocker). When jumping on double or tripple block with cross step then swinging arms is great for jumping higher and more aggresive block😉

I have the blocking footwork and the blocking motion all in the bag (I have it mastered) but I can't jump high Out of all the games I played I only blocked once, and that was all with the proper movement, footwork, and arm placement

[@absulute3450]

Well My Man start going to the weights and when you put some muscle do plyometrics ( muscle first cause your knees will suffer if you don't have the biologic cusion to support the fall)

[@user-ee7dr4ir2o]

@@absulute3450 my knees don't suffer from leg exercises my only problem is the lack of equipment and training knowledge

[@user-ee7dr4ir2o]

I have everything it takes to jump high I think I jump at least 15 inches off the ground or my standing vert is all the way up to my thighs and I am the highest jumper in my area now my issue is I'm born short now if we talk about muscle my leg strength is above average I guess because I can squat more than 80 lbs but I can do more than that i just can't test it yet and I think with everything I have right now I more that above average for my age, because whenever I see people sometimes older sometimes the same age as me the first thing I realize is that even though they are taller I still jump higher, I proved my theory by literally blocking someone who is 5'10 or 5'9 when I was 5'4, now if I were to talk, about practice I have done more that 1 block and I won more than 1 joust, my first joust was when I was up against another school and my teammate over received the ball so then the opponent tried pushing it down but I put 1 hand up because I was off to the side then I kept my hand there and won the joust then followed up by my first block@@absulute3450

[@user-ee7dr4ir2o]

Bro I'm on a tablet and it still looks big on my reply Long story short I can block and I have all the muscle I need I'm just really short

[@rmichalraj3808]

😁😁😁

[@KiNGShiver7]

i’m 6’3 and my hands can barely go over the net when i jump. any tips? (i am a middle blocker)

[@VolleyCountrycom]

Try my footwork exercises, they should help you to get higher👍

[@ChevyFlora]

gym is and vertimax are going to be your friend. Youll need to really work on calves and quads. It also sounds like they just put you in middle blocker cause you're the tallest person and not because of blocking skill? Hardest position to learn imo, but you can do it!

[@DoofEvil]

do basic vert exercises that you can find online. also focus on your form. make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet and on a swing block you’re swinging your arms. on a middle block start with your arms a little lower so you can squeeze out just a little more momentum out of them. focus on putting as much force into the ground as possible

[@sashimisushii637]

Damn

[@ANCreation333]

Too tall I am only 6 feet but jump 348 cm
