How to SEE the BLOCK - Volleyball Tutorial

[@franklopz21]

I work as a volleyball coach in a school in Guadalajara Mexico, and i have learned a lot in the last three days since i discover this awesome channel, all these videos you make to share with us, are really helpful. Thank you for think in too many people who love this amazing sport and it's always trying to teach something different to his players. I'll be watching every new video you post to continue learning something new. Saludos desde Mexico y muchisimas gracias, excelente trabajo Coach Donny

lopcfyd can you coach me? I live in tlajomulco

[@bobsmith6029]

Hey Donny I've been watching your videos for a while and I've used some of the things I've learned watching and it's helped me so much. I made my high school varsity team and a club team using your tips. Keep up the great videos!

[@Singapore_Scrubvolleyball]

I am interested to see a video specially on middle blockers blocking quick attacks. or tips even. I can't find any advise for this on the Web.

[@perhapsmayhaps]

Because of my interests in volleyball, I had recently saw your channel in the recommendations. I'll say it's a step by step channel which helps many people improve their mobility in volleyball. So far, I am considering to join volleyball this year as a Senior, but however, my friends say that if I do, I'll have to play for Varsity mainly because the Varsity team usually makes up with Seniors and some Juniors. I am hoping to do well this year and maintain a good season. I will be relying on this channel to help me work my way through in volleyball. I still need to work on my spikes and jumps, I am more focused on jumps and spikes. My spiking accuracy is pretty bad, but I'll get a hang of it.

[@micha7676]

You've literally mentioned all the points in all of your videos Thank you for sharing your experience💞

[@williambrander6337]

This is so helpful, thanks so much! I have learnt so much by watching your videos

[@andrzej1x1]

Your videos are really helpful :) im glad that i found your channel , greetings from Poland

[@Hennarhz]

Hey coach could you please make a video teaching us how to set balls backwards and how to aim them behind us. Thanks for all the videos and keep up the good work

[@valho4ever]

yes!! i'd like to see a video on this as well!

[@Zaki_032]

This is exactly what I needed ! Love your vids ❤️

[@Felipe-vu3lx]

Always helping me. Thanks coach :)

[@gamayg7]

What I do is in the air, I use my left pointy finger to point where I want the ball pass. 😊

[@Pinot3283]

very helpful and easy to understand. Thanks to coach donny

[@badvlog-calist7940]

i like that man in red jersey ,he is determined which most of this youths aren't

[@AudiFanPK]

To emphasize: Staying behind the ball when you spike so you can see both the ball and the block is the first and most critical step. A ton of players come under the ball to much and loose the ability to see the block properly. Also: Point 1 and 2 become moot very fast if you play some decent level. Your opposing blocker won't leave you, the outside hitter. Middle blocking support is done by the opposing outside hitter on their nr 4 position and not the opposing setter or diagonal on their nr 2 position. When confronted by a full block your choice should depend on how tight the set is to the net: Far off: Diagonal indeed. But sharp set: Sweep right to left to go out of bounds via the blockers right hand. This is a deadly effective option against strong blockers when you master it.

Hi Danny, I have a video suggestion. I am coach of a german low league ladies team and now we advanced to a higher league, so I want to improve our offense gameplay. I would like to know, how certain plays/moves can be internalized. for example: how do setter and leftback player know, where to attack from the back? either between middle and leftfront attacker or further outside of the leftfront player. I hope you know what I mean. Or how attackers know whether they are supposed to fake the attack and just jump and swing their arm to fake the block. I'd just like to introduce some nice standard plays to our playbook. Thanks so much for all your other videos yet! Great Job.

[@srod6884]

This is another great video but i was wondering, do the things that you said in these video apply to a middle hitter

[@Rook.G34]

Super helpful!!

[@maximeramaye8370]

thanks for all videos

[@O22895]

all of ur video is helpful thank u

[@applepi5833]

i can finally beat those tall guys in front of me

[@tonyw1988]

Great video once again Donny! I was thinking of trying something to further see the block better, but I'm not sure how viable it is. Good set, good approach, as you jump and as the ball is dropping to you, you do a quick eye check of the block (similar to how setters do a quick eye check of the block before they set) and then the eyes go back to the ball before swinging. Once again, I don't know how doable this is but would love to get your opinion on it haha

[@tonyw1988]

+Elevate Yourself haven't tried it much, it is definitely a lot harder than a setter eye check.

[@dongdataruk1110]

I need more video about how to see the block

[@TrentTube]

Great content

[@sharibkhan7813]

Thx for the training sir

[@kaloyanvelchev8049]

Actually I'm seeing the block better on a high ball. When we play a fast set I don't have the time to look where the block is and I'm going on maximum risk. But the video is really helpful in terms which are the best moments to look at the block and to take a decision about the attack.

[@martinarakal2051]

Make a video for,steps took while smashing it more important and u can also make video of warming the body up before and after the volleyball practice

[@Uk07mahasu]

tnq , learnt alot from you Donny sir

[@thugvader840]

Hi coach Donny you should do cyber coaching.Its basically helping people find their mistakes and fix them.People submit videos with something they want to improve on and you review their mistakes.I got that idea from the skate channels which have this kind of videos:D

[@julian6604]

YEEEESSSSSSS

[@morenojune5675]

Coach Donny please make videos for quicks attack

[@Iljo87]

Hi coach Donny, I want to ask you something about the above subject 'seeing the block'. I play at middle level volleyball as an outside hitter and I very often use the block to make my points. Most of the time I am not sure if I really see the hands of the blocking players or I was just lucky. My setter likes to play with very high passes so mostly my look is up to the ball and I also try to hit the ball very quick and hard. My question is do you had similar experience and is it really possible seeing also the hands of the blocking player before hitting the ball, so that you can be able to adjust the spiking direction. And by seeing I mean that you can recognize them with your peripheral vision as an object with color and shape. Sometimes I really believe is a kind of an instinct :D I would be glad when you have some time to answer me! Cheers!

[@gauravthakur2836]

Very good

[@FineStarBroz]

If closest blocker is bunch blocking aim for line shot(top right of ball) if closest blocker is spread blocking aim for middle

[@TTBag]

Hey Danny, How do you tool the soft block?

[@asaphsalmon9383]

Coach can you make a video on how to improve peripheral vision ???cause I feel difficulty in reading the blocks

[@ripraku]

I used to play volleyball for my high school Varsity team and I am not sure if I was just seeing things but when I was in the air and was about to spike the ball and everything felt like it was going in slow motion- everything seemed so clear. From the blocker in front of me to the receiver in the back.. I remember his face so vividly and how I noted that the receiver was too far back so I just lightly tapped it the side of the blocked to get my team the kill. Have any of you guys experienced this??

[@alaynachicko331]

God I wish

[@srod6884]

I wish

[@mohdyaseen6774]

[@ashleyguiamel9587]

hey coach, can you show us how to toss when it comes to serving? i got a problem on my overhand serving. thanks :D

[@jerome_tayzr]

Thanks Donny, this was really helpful :))

[@ansong6271]

I always felt I had more control over the ball as a blocker when the attack hits my hands.

[@raj9805]

good going

[@auotukun872]

where to hit when the set is too short and low and ended up in the middle of the blockers, it's like a three and not a traditional four to the outside...if you get what I'm trying to say :(

[@ultimategaming07467]

Can u please make a video on spiking technique ..when I jump to spike I don’t see block as well as net nor I can hit that much hard..please sir that would be great.

[@steven9098]

Hi coach im currently 15 and im in my highschool volleyball club, just started volleyball not long ago and since im not very high (5'3) i have never spiked or block properly is there any advice you could give me ?

[@steven9098]

michelle - ill try it out thx

[@slater9442]

[@siddharthsinghmehra1869]

good video

[@throughlaurensframes]

Thank you for the super helpful video. Funny enough, I'm a local to SJ and stumbled upon your video! Maybe I'll see you at Menlo lol

[@Жэк]

I like those tall guy of Donny's team who plays central blocker and with hard walking and motions .

[@SteveMcMief]

What about the approach angle as a third limiting factor?

[@TheBlackTitan9]

Do you have any tips for practicing spiking alone?

[@blublu9791]

at wall

[@eyapap1938]

you've said that blockers are like funnels because they make hitters spike where they want. But how are defenders supposed to take a right position in the court and wait for the ball when they don't have a clear image of their team's block? What i mean is that you can rarely see a gap in your team's block so as to get where you need to be before tha spiker attacks. Can you help me figure it out?

[@thimo021]

hmm have you been answered yet ?

[@abhinaysingh637]

he donny im a vol player i to played nationals0from my colledge u indirectly helpedme a lot.

[@Mooksie]

Where do you play in the Bay Area?

[@Jay-yz3rb]

I wanna ask how do you go against someone who is doing a commit block against you

[@indirajithwilliamson7532]

Super ra

[@raj9805]

nice

[@dkoda840]

Lol as a setter I just linked your channel to all of my teammates and coaches because they suck at reading.

[@holdentudix4703]

I know I’m 3 years late, but as a setter I feel your pain.

[@makisan2596]

which block do you think is more effective, the spread block or the bunch block?

[@IskaRiot84]

I think that depends on the opponent, if they have a strong outside hitter you go spread, strong middle block you go bunch. Kind of.

[@ethankoh2691]

I think that bunch block is certainly a lot more scarier than spread block? A discipline bunch block can destroy a team spiker, but it is very hard for a team to have a operating bunch blocking system

[@arifaiman6969]

what is your height?

[@pianotutorials3382]

How to see the block when you r spiking from right side??

[@neiljersonabanilla6207]

my peripheral vision is so poor, when i am spiking i only see the ball and the sky nothing else.(i play outdoor) Do you have any advice or tips to improve that? its like i lose consciusness and i only know how to controll my body to spike and see the volleyball

[@Mila_BK]

sounds like the ball is too far over you, instead of being slightly in front of you. Practice ur timing too

[@jeevannm74]

Sir how can i tool single block every time

[@bloat4hk]

what's a good body fat % range? for hitters

[@stress1ng502]

Isnt 8% better ?

[@mangkhohaokip437]

During spiking or blocking i always close my eyes and i cannot see where the ball goes Will you please help me with that 🙏

[@nikospanayiotouyeah]

This is not very common ...I think you are afraid of the ball hitting your face...closing your eyes wont protect you ...
