Timing is crucial for effective blocking and hitting. This “block and release” drill, shared by two-time Brazilian Olympian Cilene Drewnick, trains players to shift quickly from defense to offense in a fast-paced, game-like setting.
Setters also get a workout since they must transition from a back-row to front-row position with each play.
