How To Get Better At Blocking in Volleyball

Sava Topich was one of the best blockers Marymount Men's Volleyball has ever had. This video breaks down some of his best blocking mechanics and fundamentals that will help with your blocking game as well. Regardless of your skill level, these few principles are easy to plug into your game and improve on getting better touches and blocks.

The biggest tip i received while blocking was to watch the shoulder of the hitter to know exactly where he is hitting. Not a lot of blocking videos I've come across don't talk about that.

Just the video i needed! Goes over nuances that arent usually covered in other videos

Been my experience that the shuffle works to keep a blocker out of the net better than the swing, where sometimes an aggressive follow through can lead to an inadvertent net touch. You jump a little straighter up-and-down when you shuffle.

Love this video!! This helps me a lot especially as a middle blocker. I can’t wait to implement these tips into my game

Babe wake up Mitch posted another Volleyball video $D

Great video, I'm going to watch them all. I see this is the only blocking one, so I was wondering if you could go a little deeper and talk about hand positioning. I know on the outside, they should angle into the court, but I'm wondering, specifically, if the ball is set outside the antenna, how do you set up to block the ball inside the court?

Nice vid coach Mitch. The way I have always seen it is nothing wrong with swing blocking if you can properly do it and not drift when you are committing to 1 hitter only but when bic 31 n go is all an option shuffle gives you the ability to adjust quickly and get extra hands hands up.

[torstenjohanes]

[mattvalentin]

Can you do a video on timing and adjusting to sets, I have been having trouble on timing my approach with diff sets and how my footwork should be

[sirownsalot]

Does the shuffle blocking tip also apply for middles? Or mostly just for out of system blocks?

[christianquaade]

Super well explained!
I have also been trying to shuffle more in my blocks, in my case to make it easier for the middle to close, but it really does help alot all around when balls comming inide or maybe the other team doesn't hit line all that often.

[orangefroggo]

Definitely subscribing, I gotta check out your other videos

[Judikqube]

PleaseCould you do one for powerful serves and accuracy!

[youssefnafis]

Could you demonstrate how to precisely control the ball during a spike

[kacie]

Pointers for blocking as short people. But like super short...women playing on a men's net with no choice but to also go front row. 🙏🏻 Thoughts on soft blocking?

You're vids are great. Getting back into playing a number of years after college and you explain things better so i just send less experienced teammates your stuff. 😂
