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
2. Completed Block - when the ball is touched by a blocker. Only front row players are permitted to complete a block.
1. Block attempt - the action of blocking without touching the ball. An attempt does not constitute 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
• WHAT IS THE POSITION OF THE PLAYER(S)

platform to play the ball
