15-16u Boys Middle Training

What to Expect

This session focuses on developing explosive blocking mechanics, quick transition footwork, and offensive versatility. Middle blockers will refine lateral movement, ensuring fast, controlled footwork for closing blocks while maintaining balanced positioning for quick transitions into attack. Athletes will focus on reading setters and anticipating offensive patterns, ensuring early jumps and well-formed block positioning. Blocking drills will reinforce pressing over the net, sealing seams, and timing jumps against fast-paced offenses. Offensive development will emphasize quick set timing, teaching middles to accelerate approach mechanics, optimize hand positioning, and develop fast hitting connections with setters. Athletes will work on shot selection, learning how to place tips, attack deep corners, and adjust mid-air to counter the block. As the session progresses, players will integrate live blocking and offensive transition drills, ensuring they develop game-speed adaptability and seamless movement between defensive and offensive roles. Session is limited to 6 athletes with 2 coaches.
