Breakdown of a SWING BLOCK 🙌 🏐

*this is for moves to your LEFT*

1. Left Step + Hips

As you take your first step, your hips should swing OFF the net like you are running to the sideline. This opens a runway for a BIG 2nd step which creates the power! 💪

2. Right step + arms

On the 2nd step, the arms go back as far as possible to create momentum and power! If you look closely, both feet are off the ground during this step. When the right step lands 🦶, it should be facing the poll or the hitter (or somewhere between them)

3. Left step + arms + hips

On the last step; the arms come forward and immediately to the tape of the net, the hips swing CLOSED to the net as the arms come up!

Bonus points for landing on the 2 feet 👣 😃

Quick Keys for your MIDDLE TRANSITION 🏐

Hips Open ✅

Many young players like to back up off the net. Open the hips and RUN off the net to get a better approach and hit harder!!!

Call Set 2x ✅

Calling the ball multiple times as a middle helps the setter track where you are! Keep in mind the setter is looking a the balls and “feeling” where the middle is… calling the ball helps the setter time you better!

Stay “behind” setter ✅

This means he further off the net than the setter is! In the video we are hitting tight quicks, if you space out for a GAP, this rule changes.

✌️ quick tips for a backrow attack

-Make sure the setter keeps that set IN FRONT of the ten foot line (even at younger ages!)

-Make sure the hitter takes off behind the ten foot line but lands in front of it!

The better the jumper, the further the broad jump!!

(Bonus points: watch these hitters land on 2 feet! 👏)
