This is a four minute video on the quick attack. The video for the whole 4 minutes is the same attack sequence. The video offers just two views. The coaches view from behind the attack and then a close up of the arm swing from in front of the attack.
0:14 - Coach Stone asks the question of "Why" run a quick attack? It is a fair question. With tall middles, why run a ball lower to the net that a smaller middle blocker could block?
0:22 - His answer is....
1:05 - The actual teaching of details start at this time mark.
1:09 - The middle uses a 3-step approach. Listen to Coach Stone as he speaks to something I am always preaching even in warm up tossing "Hitters, stay above my or the setter's left foot on my toss or an in-system pass to the setter."
1:10 - Allow me to tie in last week's video on arm drive. This middle has them parallel to the floor. Nice.
1:16 - Coach Stone speaks to the middle hitter's responsibility to adjust to the setter as the setter adjust to the ball.
2:00 - Middles jump on setter contact. Ideally, the middle is on or about to be on step three as the setter touches the ball.
2:35 - Coach Stone speaks of being positioned so the hitter has no fear of reaching into the net.
2:48 - Nice follow through off the arm swing. This hitter ends up with her hand just past her hip.
3:06 - Coach talks about high elbow and leading with the elbow. Sounds like our gym.
