Take aways / coaching cues

- A system provides a foundation to play block / defence (into transition)


- You have options!
- Defence timing – cues/language/modelling
- Movement – into position from base (from net & defence base)
- 2nd ball responsibility – base position
- Zone 6 staying deep
- Role of the off blocker vs Pipe/Middle – tips/off block
- Reading and/or committing
- Height on the ball
- Defence target – high middle
- Communication
- Defence to blockers & blockers to defence continuous
- Commentary: ‘say what you see’ ‘say what you will do/take’
• Block / defence is a mentality
• Be patient – it will take time!
