Be the last player to touch the ball in a joust


  • Be the last player to touch the ball in a joust. 

When two players contact the ball at the same time over the net, the second one to touch the ball almost always wins.

The second player has the advantage of going up and pushing over while the first player comes down, losing momentum on her way.

Tip Deep

  • Tip deep. 

Confirm with your teammates that the opposing team is playing man-up defense with a player responsible for picking up the tips, playing right behind the block.

You now know you have deep court open positions on the court you can tip to. In practice, learn to tip high over the block to the deep corners of the court during rallies.

Tip on a good set


  • Tip on a good set. 

Be unpredictable by mixing up your shots.

Tip the balls everyone expects you to hit and hit the imperfect ones that are a little off the net that everyone expects you to tip.

Be smart and use common sense. Leave those balls that are below the net height or too low to hit to.

Tip to the middle of the court instead of behind the block

  • Tip to the middle of the court instead of behind the block.

The middle of the court is almost always the sweet spot on almost everybody’s court.

It’s where points are often made, and where balls fall because no one is covering that area. 

When you’ve been blocked a couple of times and you’re looking to change up your attack, especially in long rallies, remember that the middle of the court is almost always open especially when you feel you don’t have any hitting options.
