E. Blocking
As in the picture, the skill of stopping
the spiked ball coming directly over the
net to your court is called blocking. This
skill is considered an important defensive
skill. Blocking is done with one hand, two
hands or by two or three players at the
same time.
Activity 8.10
Lower the height of the net on the volleyball court at first. Line up
three to six players on either side of the net in face-to-face pairs and
stay ready. When the sports coach or teacher signals for blocking by
whistling or clapping, try to jump and touch or shake hands at the
same time. Perform this exercise three to six times, one player at a
time. Then one person of the group should toss the ball and hit the
ball hard so that it passes over the net. Three people on the other side
should try to block by jumping with two spread hands as shown in
the picture. To practice this action, rehearse hitting and blocking the
ball alternately from the end line of the court.
