BLOCKING
Set up a middle blocker, right side blocker, and left side blocker on both sides of the net. Have another player behind each blocker on the 10 foot line doing an abdominal strengthening exercise while they wait for their turn to block. (This should be 6 blockers total, and six other players waiting at the 10 foot line)

1. Coach can add a volleyball toss after calling out specific block for the players to practice with.
