- The roof is on fire!!!
Is there a better feeling in volleyball than the one you have when you shut the door at the net and deny the big kill? I don't think so!
How do you move faster at the net while ensuring you will have a bigger and stronger block? You use the swing block technique. Check it out and try it out, you won't want to use another technique.

I'm short but i'm a middle blocker 🤗
Nice name 😂
Damn
@@antead4649sure you probably just an annoying haikyuu fan who's never played actual volleyball
@@jadenmohamed3941 haha I actually play volleyball but you are right about me being a haikyuu fan
You said not to extend your arms when moving to the blocking place but you did it at your presentation. I think the extended arms are pretty natural.
+keybarbarosa Very good comment, the only thing is that when you teach young kids to use their arms you also add the fact that they will be moving a lot and won't be stable. We really want to make sure that you are stable before you learn to swing block with your arms, but yes if you can master it, definitely use your arms
I think that it would be good to show footage from behind so that we could more easily take on your perspective since we all would be facing the same way.
I feel like im too short to block even though I try to jump as high as i can
nothings impossible Wonufo
Me too
im 5'6 and can block fairly well you just gotta keep at it and find the best weapons suited for you man
ElMagnifico _069 im 5’7 and my vertical is 327cm nothing is impossible bro
@@vyserion4941 WHAT THE YOU GOTTA TEACH ME MAN
Thanks for the tip
I've tried this but myself being 5'6" and my first time playing this year it's harder to help block both side hitters. Do you have any tips for a middle. I played great for my first year but it was kinda crazy on the beginning.
Tips about everything would be great haha.
+strawhelyperfectx If you are shorter, really work on your reading. That means, get better at reading the setter and knowing where the ball will be set. Work on your eye sequence...in order, look at 1. The pass 2. The setter 3. The ball 4. The hitter 5. The ball....When you master the reading part, you will move very well at the net and will be there where you need to be. Once you improve your jumping, your blocking will be great.
Keep it up! Volleyball is awesome...have fun!
Jump Volleyball Thanks so much! I feel if I was tall like you blocking would be so much easier. Thanks for the tips. :)
Don't let your size get you down. I'm 2 meters tall and have had to play as middle blocker, but my issue was I was always too late to block the side hitters. I've seen plenty of shorter people block way better because of various combinations of 1) better reading, 2) better reflexes, 3) more explosive movement or 4) simply jumping higher than me.
Thoose Information is what I need.
Thank you very much.
Great videos! Could you do one on the middle hitting quicks (a fast low set)? I find the timing is really tough to master. Thanks!
+Volleyball Videos I absolutely want to do a video on middle hitting soon. I think it is one of the hardest thing to teach young players and there are a lot of misconceptions about it. Thanks for the suggestion and I will work on that in my next batch of videos. In the meantime, check out this one here th-cam.com/video/fXXmUly02eM/w-d-xo.html
Hi! thanks for the great video but is there any video mentioned about the vertical jump blocking without any steps?
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR VIDEOS! I wish I could had a coach like you :(
Nice video, maybe the best of your production.
Lol, thumbnail looks like he's a potato
+BabyCookieCraft Haha, I know, I need to stop talking and start doing more volleyball ;-)
love your vids It helped me so much:)
this is really helpful...thanx mannn..
Great video
great video thanks ...Adrian ..South Africa
thanks for your tutorial
Super coach.
More videos apload.
im a shortie like 4'10 and I learned to block so my coach made me from setter to middle blocker in 4 days. Just because I can block. everyone jumps higher than they just dont use their arms
Well done
Very Interesting video, it would be nice if you can volume down the intro and volumen up the rest of the video, great tips by the way. I want to learn if there is any technique or proper approach in order to jump higher on spikes.
+Jonathan K Thanks for your comments, and I know there is a problem with my sound. That's because I do my videos on my ipad and that I record the sound with my ipod. I need a better system for better sound, totally agree.
As for your spike approach, check out this video and let me know if it helps you and if you have more questions th-cam.com/video/Ea1_02seb9E/w-d-xo.html
Bruh... you sounded like tendou when you said those first things... I love it
baki baki
You should do Angeles from the 4
Can you advice me more on how to become a good middle blocker
Very nice
I love that feeling too
Is it pretty much the same at position 2? Because with a short approach does that affect in any way?
I'm 5'2 and I'm 14 years old and I tried it this and it helped me alot thanks
Really? I'm 5ft do u think it's possible for me to play vollyball? Any tips I have no experience and a sophomore
@@tiana1736 i'm 5'2 as well and i would say its very possible try to do as much research as you can and practice at home that's the best way to get better!
very good
Sir I was wondering if I its a fine block, if I'm like 172cm and a freshman in high school, is it a fine block even if my hands are above but not my whole arm. I am still pretty young and was planning on training my jump height.
am left handed and would like and approach on how to hit a middle ball best and which ball suits me best considering am left handed
I want to ask a question about the hands while you're in the air. Do you find it more important to teach players to reach high over the net, press over more, or even balance of both?.. Or none of those answers lol. Thank you!!
Thank you! Love the videos!!!
Nice video! How do i place my hands when i am blocking? It happens often to me that i hurt my thumb.
thumbs up and stiffen the hands my coach always said. worked like a charm
+Johannes Kreutziger Yes, your coach is absolutely right. Keep your thumbs up and pulled back as much as you can with your hand stiff....but you know what?? You will still hurt your thumb. I have destroyed the ligaments in my thumbs so often in my career. As a middle blocker, you can't avoid it...but hey, it's part of the game and taping our fingers is the only way we, volleyball players, can look tough :-)
+K-min Lim Lol fancy seeing u here haha
+hojun chan hahah Yooo what uppp!
nothing much haha, just trying to learn more and I see your name and I'm like wtf!?
I’m a middle, it’s hard for me to find which way the other hitters are going to hit. What can I look at??
how about for the smaller blocker? how it can improve the blocking?
Jump higher
BestTips
I have played libero for 3 years and because of this I am good at reading were the ball will be hit or who will be getting set on the court so Recently my couch has switch my position to middle blocker. The problem i'm having though is that i'm pretty short so i'm having a problem blocking the other teams middle players. So what is a exercise i can do to increase the height of my jump?
we have same problem.. :D
Fucking squat 24/7
Can we learn about jump serves?
+Malcolm Sondrup I have made one on jump float, you can find it here th-cam.com/video/549ZWOHTinw/w-d-xo.html
I will for sure work on a spike serve one shortly
Thanks for the suggestion
in your slow motion video your feet are stopped facing the net perpendicularly, but in ur demo, ur feet stop at an angle, and then u adjust in midair to make it at perpendicular. is it really possible to halt everytime like in ur slow mo, since u also cant demonstrate the same thing out that time...
Power serve with jump please show us
Heya just wondering on the angles of the hands when blocking. I've heard two different things, some say angle it around the ball so both hands/arms are pointed a little inwards; I've also heard others say angle them towards the middle of the court. To me I feel like the second way would be a better way of deflecting it into the court rather than out, what's your opinion??
Thanks in advance. :D
+Joface333 Thanks for you comment. It depends a little where you are blocking from in the sense that if you are blocking from position 4 or position 2, you want to angle your outside hand towards the court. Otherwise if your hand is hit, then it might go outside and you will get tooled, and you don't want that happening. In your case, where do you block from most of the time?
+Jump Volleyball started playing middle blocker rescently, so blocking has gotten more important.
Looking at high level volleyball games could help you see what those players at the highest levels are doing. It is really important to get those hands over the net as fast as possible. If you look at David Smith for the USA volleyball team, he does it really well.
i can block well, i’m 5’8” and i’m the middle blocker in my team. the problem is that most of the time, i close my eyes whenever i’m about to block. what should i do to improve this?
Well dont close your eye bud
Tbh the eye thing just comes with experience. I used to do that all the time. As you play the game more, you get better. Try to have an offensive mindset when blocking instead of a defensive one. Make the hitter afraid of you
When I play any spot and they pass the ball to me I close my eyes when I catch the ball. Haha
be brave girl
How can I improve my reading? I'm really bad at noticing where the ball will be set. Also, what exercises should I do in order to improve my jump height? Thank you.
+Milos Miljkovic In order to read better, you have to block more in real game situations. Practice looking at different things and you will learn where to look to get the faster read. I can give you the answer but it wouldn't be much fun so here is what I suggest you practice:
- look at the ball
- look at the setter's hands
- look at the setter's body
Try those different things when blocking and see how fast you rect in each case. You will find the best way to do it!!
never close your eyes
My team focuses on olympic lifts like power cleaning and hang cleaning to improve your vertical jump. My vertical increased 4 inches in 8 months before I had surgery
How tall is the net just asking
Played as middle blocker for about 2 years, but still feels that swing block to right side is more difficult than left side. *I am right-handed
I do feel the same about blocking
I play volleyball and i can attack the ball hard but im not big, so this is really hard for me, i have just 1,69 cm. What i mean it's that when i forcemy jump i just can pass my elbow through the net, so, how i am suposse to block being such little?
+Enzo Fujihara Thanks for your comment. Just so I understand properly, you do your hands go over the net at all?
If your hands go over, you can block. All you need is your hand to be close to the net and be solid. Taller players will bring the ball down and you will be there waiting for them!! Small player blocks are the best....and the most annoying for tall players ;-)
Enzo Fujihara i am 1.70cm and i can kinda relate but i do jump kinda high...
can i ask how tall are you?
What is your height sir
Question. Isn't it over the net blocking fault? IF your hands extend in opponents space? Or it's a blocking fault only if you touch the ball before your opponent?
If you touch the ball before the opponent
How can I train myself to hit higher as a 6'6" attacker who often gets touches from people who are shorter?
volleyball mechanics. Technique. Practice every day.
What is your height??. The net seems very low when you stand near to it
Just the same question
Im a player in volleyball,i can do sitter,spike,and blockers,and also resever,but the problem is im short,im 5'5 only,i want to know how to get high jump.pls help me wt the best and pass to get high jump,thank you
+Jeck Calimlim Jumping higher is something everyone wishes to do. We don't do training videos to jump higher but I did a video on jumping technique that may help you, check it out th-cam.com/video/Ea1_02seb9E/w-d-xo.html
ah ok thank u,because we have tournament on march 18 to 20 so i need to prepared in my self to have good play.....
I hope you get a good preparation and that my videos can help. Good luck
How tall are you though, it seems flawless, I'm only 6' , I can't push my arms that far without touching the net
+Tony Yayo 6“6 but I wasn't always this tall so I worked hard on jumping high and then got a growth spurt so I was very lucky with that. Do you use your arms to jump when you block?
+Jump Volleyball I jump somewhat like you, except not straight up, I'm still working on that. I play football and basketball, meaning I'm typically going to jump up and forward. In volleyball this will result in me touching the net.
P.S thanks for actually replying! 😃
A common mistake when blocking is taking the first step away from the net. That results in the second step coming back towards the net to compensate and actually falling into the net. Try to keep your swing parallel to the net and you can reduce the movement in your arms to help you.
No problem, don't hesitate if you have other questions
I am good at reading i have no problem with that like: 90% i know where the ball will go even before the setter know it ... But the main problem is that i hit the net with my arms.. Like I do perfect block (my coach says me that but the problem is that i hit the net with my arms )when i jump i am 70% blocking him.. but the problem is that my arms hit the net ... any tips ? ( i tried to tren i and i did it .. but in gameplay again happend..) any tips for training or smth like that ? :) and nice videos :) Pz from Bulgaria
+Kuche Drush Hello to everyone in Bulgaria, I have been there to play before, I think it was in Bansko, nice place!
The only trick I can give you for not touching the net is to not swing your arms down. Some players jump and try to reach very high before they push the hands over the net and in doing so, they bring the arms down and touch the net. The trick is to put the hands over the net as soon as they clear the tape. That means that you will push over the net as you are skill getting up in the air. On your way down, make sure to pull your arms by your side by bending the elbows.
But really, in practice, do 10 pushups or 10 dives every time you touch the net. Hold yourself accountable for touching the net and give yourself a small punishment. Get rid of this habit...you control it!!
You need to picture your arms as coming together like that lame sunset dance move. They came up from the sides, not the front.
now i know not to simply jump up, but instead, i can now attempt to put my arms across the net
I’m 5’11 and 13 and when I jump my head is literally almost above the net
good block you are very tall with that block you wont have eshoes with you meet blocker
i think the mistake i was making is starting too close to the pin, so dont really get good momentum
u have hopes thats all
would the ref call crossing the plane?
block in volleybal is a thinking movement.you should think and then block him
**laughs in low block**
*This shall help*
Iam just 5.9/10 tall but I smash really good.. You seem very tall my friend
what about the landing
* Mein Block mein Block mein Block* music kicks in
I noticed your feet went over the center line, under the net, as u were in the air and then land over the center line...I thought that was a violation!?
+Chris Trout The center line, in the example (not the slow step-by-step example), was the yellow line I think. So, it wouldn't have been a violation.
+Chris Trout Great observation but remember that you are allowed to step on the center line with your foot but that your foot cannot be completely on the opponent's side. Does that answer your question?
I am 1.72 cm and my vertical allows me to jump with my chest reaching above the net . However in order ti jump high i need a longer set up time than my taller teammates or opponents. Tips to be able to read the block and jump higher faster ?
It's blocking time baby hehehe
How to block good if you are only 175 cm tall
I will playing volley ball I have to learn smashing
i thought you couldn't lunge/reach over the net?
I can't reach the net ..>.
Then why do you play volleyball
@@jadenmohamed3941 because it fun
Sir your height??
~6'7"
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What is the minimum height required for effective blocking?
2.30cm at least
my coach told me that my hands cant' go past the line on the net??
But blocking means penetrating over the block... unless you're soft blocking. how else does he expect you to block the ball onto your opponents court? Does your coach even play volleyball?
+K-min Lim I guess he means like you can't go over the net until the ball reaches the net line. for example if the apossing setter sets tight you can't block the set until the ball is above the net line
Oh ok yea that's correct. I thought you were saying he said not to penetrate at all
Or if you are back row, you can't block, (you have to wait for the ball to drop below the top off the net on your side if you are inside of the ten foot line before you can touch it), but I'm not sure if you are referring to this situation.
+carlitos220 Absolutely, just like K-min Lim said, you have to put your hands over the net if you want to block the ball but your coach is right in saying that you are not allowed to do that before the third contact. As a matter of fact, the rules of volleyball state that you can only touch the third contact of the opposite team on their side of the net.
So stay discipline on tight passes but press hard over the net on hits and block as many balls as you can...best feeling ever!!
dont swing hands too far back, swings arms like a frickin maniac
is this a girl's net or is he just super tall?
he's 6'7
i cant jump
girls net

plzzz dont talk much plzzzz breifly
+SM - Salamo Production Thanks for your comment. Suggestion taken :-)
Jump Volleyball :D:D
step one: be tall -a 5'5" middle
