Build a smart defense that will create more swings for your team! Kevin Hambly lays out the fundamentals, strategies and tactics of these stingy defensive concepts.

Individual Defense
Coach Hambly examines specific techniques that will put your players in position to move and pursue. Starting in the go position, you will see a simple-to-complex teaching progression that includes individual concepts like moving without the ball, digging to yourself, back-up-and-go posture, angle digging and more.

Team Defense
This segment introduces seven training variations that include a back up and dig set from base position, a team dig and set, cross court defense, handling the seams, base crossing patterns and more. With each variation, Hambly shares invaluable nuances, tips and strategies.

Blocking
Learn the go posture for blockers and how to initiate movement based on the setter. You will see two movement patterns for blockers: the shuffle step crossover and the 3-step crossover. Hambly provides detailed instruction for the last two steps and proper arm movement and hand positioning for creating the most effective blocking. Hambly also details partner blocking movement patterns and tactics for safer blocking and injury free contact.

Eye sequencing is an essential skill set for blockers and Hambly teaches a ball-setter-ball-hitter sequencing pattern. He takes you through a step-by-step demonstration of how to effectively teach eye sequencing to your players. His breakdown is divided into two parts: ball-setter and ball-hitter skills. Hambly also includes eye sequencing strategies for the back court players. He wraps-up eye sequencing with a 3-drill progression to train eye sequencing and reading.

Hambly discusses strategies for playing against three hitters and shows you how to divide the court into blocking zones. He demonstrates a zone blocking drill for the three-hitter system, followed by drills for a two-hitter system.

Coordinating Your Defense
Once the back court and front court defense has been established, the final segment deals with Defensive Coordination. Hambly details how to coordinate blocking with hitters to create more swings. He takes his players through a seven-drill progression that focuses on getting the ball high and back toward the center of the court in order to get a good swing at the ball.

This is an extensive collection of drills and strategies that will help you build a solid team defense.

Maximize the power of your swing by knowing the secrets of body positioning, arm action and rotational torque!

Kevin Hambly delivers five step-by-step progressions to teach this powerful attack. Each phase starts simple and adds variables to make the progression more complex. Whether you coach beginning or advanced athletes, these techniques will provide a road map for advancing your athletes through the phases of attacking.

Progression 1 - Throwing Motion
Hambly provides two simple drills to help teach upper body movements and the throwing motion. These drills will allow your athletes to feel how the attack plays out from their core through their arm swing. Hambly shows how to work this initial routine into an efficient, station-based workout activity.

Progression 2 - Take Off
Turn your horizontal momentum into vertical momentum! Hambly presents a simplified take off that focuses on the last two steps of the approach. Learn techniques that will ensure your athletes jump straight up versus floating forward, a common error in attacking.

Hambly builds on the take off by adding the upper body twisting motion required to generate power. He provides drills that will assist you with teaching these techniques to less experienced players.

For experienced players, Hambly shows swing mechanics for generating torque through the rotation and learning how to finish the swing.

Progression 3 - Adding a Ball
This progression begins simple and adds two variables to increase movement while remaining focused on the technical aspects of getting torque into your players' swing.

Progression 4 - Adding a Setter
Having established a great attack movement and swing, Hambly increases the complexity moving into game like situations on the court. He includes variables such as setting a quick, setting a second tempo ball, hitting from a variety of locations along the net, directional hitting and more.

Progression 5 - Adding a Block
The final progression adds a blocker. Again, the drill variations move from simple to more complex and include skill such as hitting against a static block, against a moving block, allowing the hitters to place their shots and more.

These progressions are applicable to players of any age and any level of proficiency. This DVD provides the tools you need to minmize shoulder injuries while increasing the power in your attack!

Keep your ball carts full and your players working while perfecting fundamental techniques! Anne Kordes delivers key strategies you can use to run high-rep practices with one court and one coach.

Coach Kordes demonstrates how you can reduce long lines in your practices and teach key volleyball skills using creative drill stations. She explains each drill, how to set it up, provides pointers to effectively use the drills and highlights technique cues to ensure the reps are high quality.

Here are just a few examples of the drill stations and progressions included:

• Setting Stations. These stations train footwork, setting to target, back setting and catch and throw training.
• Ball Control Progression. This progression provides a four-station rotation that trains footwork for shuffling, movement patterns, platform angles, and tipping down the line.
• Butterfly Drill. This drill is a full court activity to work the platform. The drill provides options for adding pressure to the passer and providing different looks like a punch serve, full serve and cross court pass.
• Knee Pad Touch Drill. This competitive, player initiated drill will get your players moving while working on passing skills and conditioning.
• Pre-match Reps. Includes a progression of game-day warm-ups. This includes serving, passing, hitting and defense. A great way to get max reps before a match.
