Administration

1.  Divide class into groups of 2; students number themselves 1 or 2

2.  1's will get ball while 2's find space along the net.

Focus:  Focus on the appropriate place to block the ball

Rules: 

• One partner holds the ball at a reasonable height above the net
• The other partner than jumps up to the ball using the blocking technique to push the ball down on the other side
• Each person will perform 10 jumps and switch

Teaching Points:

• Proper take off (swing arms back, start low and explode up)
• Maximum height during the jump is essential to effectively perform the skill
• Shoulders lifted to gain maximum height
• Arms fully extended during block
