Purpose:  To teach proper leverage, hand thrust, along with  hip
and foot movement to finish a block.  (Come Alive Drill)

Equipment:  "Bodies"

Procedure:  Place payers into three lines. Have line one step out
and face line two.  Line one (defense) will face line two.  The coach
will stand behind line two and give line one a hand signal in the direction he wants them to move after  the initial collision.  On command,  line two (offense) will carry out the entire drive block from start to finish.

Coaching Point:  When line one defender reacts to the ball and line two offensive player feels his weight shift,  he “comes alive”  and utilizes the momentum of his opponent to finish the block. Strike a blow simultaneously with screws and hands.  Aiming points.  Thrust the arms, lead the hips, and knees inside.
