Fig. #38. SPIKING DRILL

NET .-

The first of these combines the setup and spike. In Figure #39, No. 2 tosses the ball to No. 1, who in turn sets for No. 3. A modification of this drill⁹ would be to use another line of spikers on the right side. With a spiker on each side, the setter then has the option of setting forward or back over his head. A further addition to these variations would be to have a player toss the ball to No. 2 from across the net.

Figure #40 shows the addition of blocking to the previous drill. One-, two-, and three-man blocks can be practiced during this drill. If desired, spiking and blocking can be done from only one side at a time. The spikers and blockers exchange positions after every five plays. A more advanced version would be to place four blockers along the net. These blockers should attempt to form a three-man block on either side depending upon which player does the spiking.
