What Are the Most Effective Volleyball Blocking Strategies?

[Magdalene]

I need some tips from Blockers. I keep wondering how they are able to shut down hitters. Do they focus on their shoulders, read eyes, or just jump early? And what’s the main deal with solo vs. double blocks? Please I need your go-to blocking hack that makes opponents panic and be on their toes.

I think the idea is to watch the shoulder and approach of the hitter. The ability to anticipate in this way allows you to simply jump at an appropriate time and cut off angles.

The best way is the double blocks as it will minimize the choices of the hitter. You should also communicate with your teammates and close the gap. It will make shots weak when done well.
