Transition blocking drill at 2:38…. Does the variation of adding the string about a foot over top of net and pressing over afte getting over it, contradict the concept of penetrating as soon as you start crossing the top plane of the net? As a coach I love conversing about variability and restrictions we as coaches implement to drills.

@InsideNebraska please please please continue to capture upload these. Please and Thank you!

Where is Kennedi?

[@macyrakk]

She sat out this practice. I read that she’s still having knee problems.

[@TheBlizzardDew]

what’s the one handed blocking drill for? is it like less toolable or something?

[@dc60689]

Lexi Sun a few years back said that it was a technique that helped them train to “reach outside of themselves,” which helped with blocking back into the court.

[@gauthiercostes433]

What’s so funny is that the guys just don’t even jump 😂

[@muskaos]

Women's net is 7'4", at 6'5" with an 8'2" standing 1H reach I dont have to jump to hit on that height either. Not that I would at my age, my right shoulder would be screaming in pain if I did.

[@Frosticus453]

Part of it is replicating the attack angle they will face most often.

[@locomojoboy2]

I imagine that the women training with the men like in the last part of the video would drastically improve their game and skills. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more in women volleyball…

I played varsity in university, Ofc not even close to this level but in Canada. Ever since I have been in grade 6 we have been playing against older boys and girls. Even in university we would get graduates to practice with us all of the time. Not sure if this is the same as the US, but it 100% made us better playing against stronger players.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXWlk3-Ke86qnrM Someone plz tell the black-haired player to stop doing that. With that hesitation she simply flied over and successfully prevented the middle blocker from closing the gap.

[@djin81]

The middle blocker takes a big step before the pass is made though, the hesitation might be that she thinks Andi's screwed the drill up by moving too early towards the trainer she knows is getting the pass.

[@cc-cc4499]

@@djin81Sorry I don't quite understand what you are describing. I was talking about the side blocker/opposite who should have moved quickly to her position and block a potential line kill with a standing jump, but hesitated midpoint just to block with a running jump. The hesitation effectively prevented the middle blocker from closing the gap between them. The hesitation is a bad habit that you can also see here (4:14). Compared with that, this is a much better example (4:24), moving quickly into her position to block a line kill while opening up the space on her left side to allow the middle blocker if there is any to close the gap between them and block a possible angle kill.

[@djin81]

@@cc-cc4499 Yeah, that does look bad. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt on the first one.

[@cc-cc4499]

@@djin81I think it is an easy fix; we just need someone telling her to stop doing it lol.
