The 2 troubles I'm having with in volleyball are Diving and Blocking... so I need advice on that
Diving- is there any way to prevent floor burns and make it easier for my arm to slide on the floor? How do you rollover on your shoulder blade when you've made the pass?
Blocking- I am scared of getting hit in the face, any advice on how to solve this? I also close my eyes when I jump, how do I keep my eyes open?
Thanks, you're all amazing
Would you be allowed to wear elbow pads? I play volleyball and Ultimate Frisbee and have similar issues- you might only need to wear one pad as I find I tend to normally put my strongest arm down first, and thats where I tend to get burns and bruises.
As for shoulder rolling I'd suggest practice on a mat or on grass so you can get the technique down. Remember to put your shoulder down strongly and tuck in your head. One thing you ought to remember is that you might not always be able to roll after making the pass- sometimes you just don't have enough time. That's where pads can really help!
As for fear of getting hit in the face- everyone gets that. It can be difficult to get around 'cause it's a knee-jerk reaction but keep playing and the more confident you get the less it will bother you. Try to put it to the back of your mind- concentrate as hard as you can on the ball. I know that might sound like slightly obvious advice but its one of those things you just have to get over.
Hope this all helps, its the first question I've answered in a while.
