BLOCKING The action of a player close to the net that deflects the ball coming from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net at the moment of contact. A block may involve wrist action provided there is no prolonged contact.
TYPES OF BLOCKS • 1. Block attempt - the action of blocking without touching the ball. An attempt does not constitute a block. • 2. Completed Block - when the ball is touched by a blocker. Only front row players are permitted to complete a block. • 3. Collective Block - a block executed by more than one blocker in close proximity. It is completed when one of the players touches the ball. It is a blocking fault if a back row player participates in a completed collective block.
JUDGMENT ON BLOCKS • WHERE IS THE BALL • WHERE ARE THE PLAYERS’ HANDS • WHAT IS THE POSITION OF THE PLAYER(S) • WHO CONTACTED THE BALL FIRST
JUDGMENT ON BLOCKS Block 1st contact
