DESCRIPTION

Players face the net, with their arms in front of them controlling the ball. Players jump up and reach over the net before dropping the ball. The challenge is for the players to catch the ball while landing before it hits the floor.

COACHING POINTS

If players are too small to handle it, lower the net a little. They need to control their jump so they don't fly forward or sideways.

Block:

A feeder feeds the ball over the net for an attacker to move in. Make an attack approach and hit, while the blocker looks at how the attacker lines up on their approach and jumps and blocks.

Be aware, the feed has to be accurate as you don't want the attacker jumping into the net and injuring the blocker. If you do a bad feed make the hitter realise they should not jump.
