Attack Approach
This Sunday we’re going to work on proper attack approach technique as well as proper arm swing technique. The footwork is going to feel a little strange to start off with, but eventually it will be second nature.
This first video explains the footwork needed as well as what to do with your arms. While this video shows a 2 step approach, I’ll be coaching towards a three step approach which I’ll cover on Sunday.
This video also explains footwork and arm movement, but uses a 4 step approach as opposed to a 2 step approach.
We will practice the footwork a few times as a group, then we’ll practice the arm swing. Once we’ve gone through both a few times we will then do hitting lines, with the mentors tossing/setting balls for you to practice both the footwork and arm swing together.
It’s going to feel awkward to start off with, but stick with it… I promise that overall it will make you in to a more effective hitter.
This last video just shows a great rally between two university teams, it’s a great example of how explosive and fast paced volleyball can be once you master all the skills. Pay attention to how each team moves in unison for defence and offence, always moving to help cover the positions of the court.
