Volleyball Competitive Drill: Offense vs. Blockers

This drill develops offensive consistency against blocking pressure while sharpening blockers’ timing and teamwork. Hitters learn to attack with power and placement, while blockers focus on closing double blocks and making significant touches. The competitive scoring format motivates both sides to execute with intensity.

This volleyball drill trains hitters to attack against a live block while blockers focus on forming doubles and making strong touches at the net.

• Players: 3 hitters, 1 setter, 2 passers on one side; 3 blockers on the opposite side
• Court: Full court, focusing on front-row offense against blocking defense
• Equipment: Volleyballs, net
• Roles: Coach initiates with toss, passers receive, setter sets, hitters attack, blockers defend

1. Coach begins play with a toss to a passer.
2. Passer delivers the ball to the setter.
3. Setter may set any hitter, running standard team plays or quicks.
4. Hitters attack aggressively against the block.
5. Scoring:
   Offense earns 1 point for every hard-driven ball that lands past the block.
   Blockers earn 1 point for every significant touch or stuff block at the net.
6. Play continues with the coach initiating new balls.
7. After several rallies, rotate setter and passers to the opposite side so all players practice multiple roles.
8. Suggested reps: Play to a set score (e.g., 10–15 points) or run for 8–10 minutes per round.

• Two-Hitter Rotation: Use only two front-row hitters and add a setter for both sides.
• Scoring Adjustment: Award 2 points for a stuff block, 1 point for a controlled block touch.
• Tempo Focus: Force the setter to run quick-tempo sets to test the block’s reaction.

• For Hitters: Emphasize aggressive swings with vision—aiming for seams, hands, or deep corners.
• For Blockers: Stress timing, footwork, and closing the double block. Only count meaningful touches.
• For Setters: Vary set choices to challenge the block.
• For Passers: Deliver quality passes to give the setter full options.
• Common Game Situation: Simulates real match offense vs. defense battles where strong sideout hitting meets disciplined team blocking.

This is a high-intensity competitive drill that’s perfect for mid- to late-practice when you want players working under game-like offensive and defensive pressure.
