REACTIONS

DRILL DESCRIPTION: One partner tosses the ball into a position where it can be hit over the net. The other partner makes an approach and jumps to attack. The coach then calls out in mid air either line, cross-court (angle) or tip. This develops a player’s natural reaction to changing their attack position in the air. During a game, players must constantly react to whatever defense they are seeing and thus will have to change in the air often. For example, if an attacker sees that a blocker is taking the line away, then he must adjust and hit cross-court. This drill will work on a hitter’s reaction time.
