This 8-week program is focused on maximizing the potential of a tall, left-handed attacker by systematically building right-side dominance and middle-blocker versatility. The target outcomes are perfecting the 3-step left-handed approach, achieving reliable execution of quick attacks (1s, 2s, Slides), and enhancing attacking power and variety (line, cross, out-of-system). The key principles used are isolation and high-repetition practice to master specific tempo and body control, focusing on visual tracking and strong hand penetration for effective blocking, and integrating fast block-to-attack transition to develop game-speed versatility.
Week 1
Approach & Arm Swing Mechanics
Establish the correct 3-step left-handed approach (right-left-right close). Film and critique arm swing mechanics for maximum extension.
Week 2
Front Quick Mastery
Execute sharp, quick attacks from the front-side antenna (Front 1) and between the Middle/Right-Side (Front 2). Emphasize timing and speed.
Week 3
Blocking: Tracking & Penetration
Develop basic visual tracking of the setter/ball and perfect hand penetration over the net. Focus on forming a "firm roof" with flat hands.
Week 4
Hitting Variety
Consistently execute the two core attacks from the right side: the power angle (cross-court) and the left-handed line shot.
Week 5
The Slide
Execute the Slide Attack (Back 1/Back Quick) effectively as a Middle Blocker option. Focus on jumping off one foot and hitting while airborne
Week 6
Out of System Hitting
Successfully approach and attack high, deep, and tight sets that challenge her timing and body control. Add power to attacks.
Week 7
Integrated Blocking & Transition
Combine effective blocking (read/penetration) with a fast transition to attack Front 1s/2s. Focus on quick hands-down-and-turn movement.
Week 8
Full Range Attack Review
Review and execute all quick attacks (1s/2s, Slides) and perfect the powerful Left-Handed Cross-Body Attack (the shot that pulls her across her body).
