Examples 4.3. More to choose and use: (a) Wrist spring, (b) extension after contact. The action of the wrists is important in the execution of a set. With your hands open and in the shape of the volleyball, your wrists will naturally give a little as the ball contacts your finger pads. This can be described as the ball going to the hands. Think of your wrists as a spring and be sure that the ball doesn’t stop in your hands (figure 4.3a). This would result in a held ball violation. Use the natural spring of your wrists (figure 4.3b) to assist in pushing the ball back out of your hands. (Adapted from page 35, Setting) Figure 6.7. Give it a go: On the floor blocking. When you block, you need to surround the ball with your hands. For this drill, 12 players work in pairs using any available court space. Stand on the floor across from your partner, reaching high and in front of your body with your hands in the blocking position (figure 6.7). Your partner holds a volleyball with the nondominant hand within six inches of your hands and from a high draw arm position attacks the ball with the dominant hand into the block. Both of you stay on the floor throughout the drill. As the blocker, you should attempt to surround the attacked ball with your hands and keep your eyes on the ball. (Adapted from page 70, Blocking) Figure 7.7. Give it a go: Three-person pepper. The three-person pepper drill (figure 7.7) is a good way to get dig, set, and attack repetitions. Groups of three players use available space on the courts. Players A and B stand at least 15 feet (5 m) apart. Player C stands an equal distance from both players but slightly off to one side of the straight line formed by players A and B. Player A begins by hitting a down ball at player B. Player B digs the ball to player C, who sets it back to player B. Player B hits a down ball to player A, who digs the ball to player C. Player C sets the ball right back to player A. The sequence repeats for two minutes. After two minutes, all three players switch roles. (Adapted from page 83, Digging)
