Volleyball Drills For Outside Hitters Hitting Fast Sets To The Outside Hitter Training With Tommi Stockham - The Fast 'Go'

We were working on two things, first

'attacking the floor with her last two steps.'

When I say that I mean to use the floor as your trampoline and really exaggerate the heel-to-toe movement made with the last two steps of your spike approach which help really launch you in the air...

a quick high reaching fast armswing

An aggressive spike approach combined with a fast arm swing help produce the power needed to get a spiked ball to the floor faster.

Volleyball Drills For Outside Hitters: Outside Hitter Tommi Stockham Hits Quicks To Quicken Armswing

Outside hitters need to be the most versatile athletes on the team.

In order to do that they should be able to hit different types of sets located along the net in front of the setter.

Different types of sets delivered at different speeds and different heights make outside hitters unpredictable, versatile and able to score points from different areas on the court along the net.

Being able to transition from defense to offense with specific footwork and consistently quick speed and technique makes it harder for the opposing team's blockers to know when and where you are going to attack next in a rally.

That's the goal for outside hitters...to make it difficult for opposing blockers to stop them from scoring.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
