Question

I need help - i always run into the net while blocking - im fine while hitting - but when i block i almost always hit the net w/ my body

Answer 1

keep your eyes pealed.. and wat sport are you talking bout/

Answer 2

work on the drill which helps you to set/close a block. start on the strong side(right side of the net). Bow your head,your head should hit the  net. Jump as if to block. When you land step like this.( open with the right foot  cross over with the left then plant/set with the right) then jump to block. repeat to go from the middle to the  weak/right side

be sure to  check your head bow before jumping. keep practiceing this untill it becomes second nature. Also, remember to always keep your hands above your head!!

Answer 3

Your too close to the net when you jump. You also might be piking a little like a hitter at the net. Go straight up and then just penetrate the net with your arms and hands. Don't bend at the waist that much.

Try that and see if it works better...

Answer 4

And try to not reach for the ball.  The ball will travel to you.  Make sure you go up straight and have your hands so that the ball will rebound off your hands and go into the court.  

Answer 5

jump straight up instead of out
