VOLLEYBALL BLOCKING DRILL, DOUBLE BLOCK DRILL, HITTING VS BLOCK, OFFENSIVE TRAINING

Volleyball Blocking Drill: Double Block Attacking

This drill develops hitters’ ability to attack under pressure from a double block while teaching blockers proper positioning, timing, and teamwork. It also sharpens defensive awareness by continuing play when attacks get past the block.

This volleyball drill trains hitters to attack against a double block while blockers refine positioning, timing, and footwork to shut down the offense.

• Players:
  Attacking side: 6 players (setter, passers, and hitters)
  Defending side: 4 blockers at the net, 1 server, and 2 back-row defenders
• Court: Full court
• Equipment: Volleyballs, net
• Roles: Defending side initiates serve; blockers form a double block; attackers work to score against the block

1. Defending side begins with a serve to the attacking side.
2. Defending side sets up with 4 blockers on the net.
3. Attacking side runs an offensive play against the double block.
4. If the attacking side gets the ball past the block, the defending side continues to play the rally out with its defenders.
5. The 4th blocker (right side) steps off the court after the serve to open space, re-entering when the ball transitions back to the attacking side.
6. Attacking side works toward a set goal (e.g., 3 kills out of 5 swings or 7 out of 10 swings).
7. Suggested reps: Run 2–3 rounds of 10 attacks per side, lasting about 6–8 minutes per round.

• Blocker Rotation: Switch which blocker rotates off the court to give all players practice.
• Target Zones: Require hitters to aim for seams or deep corners.
• Scoring Challenge: Award bonus points for tool swings off the block or for clean stuff blocks by defenders.

• Blockers: Focus on footwork, timing, and hand positioning to close the block.
• Hitters: Stay aggressive while learning to adjust swings to tool the block or hit around it.
• Defenders: Anticipate blocked or deflected balls and stay ready to extend rallies.
• Setter Role: Mix sets to keep blockers guessing.
• Common Game Situation: Replicates match scenarios where attackers must face a disciplined double block while defenders cover behind.

This is a game-like drill that combines offensive pressure with blocking and defensive training, making it ideal for scrimmage-style practice.
