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.

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.

@AudiFanPK4 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@tonyw19888 жыл бұрын
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
@tonyw19887 жыл бұрын
+Elevate Yourself haven't tried it much, it is definitely a lot harder than a setter eye check.
@Iljo877 жыл бұрын
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!

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??

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?

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.
@ethankoh26915 жыл бұрын
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
