Defensive Dig | SMVT:DIGGING

Defensive Dig:

Two players; one stands with his feet apart and the other is the hitter. The hitter throws the ball up to hit to the defender, who brings his feet together then apart again dropping and timing the drop so as to be in position just prior to the hitter hitting the ball and plays defence, keeping his chest facing the hitter and playing the ball in front of his body.

Attacking Jump-Volley:

The person on the side of the mats feeds the ball to the two players opposite who communicate and pass the ball to the net for the ball to be set up for an attacking jump-volley to the mat that has not been occupied by the feeder.

This means that the attacking player needs to work on creating a good field of vision and observe where the feeder has moved to.
