Session Overview

Coach Donny breaks down the tactical triggers and coordinated footwork required to put up a triple block against predictable high-ball pin sets. He explains how the off-blocker reads the pass/set early and sprints across to seal the inside seam.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Trigger a triple block when an out-of-system pass or predictable set eliminates the opponent's middle and opposite options.
The middle blocker anchors the center of the triple block while both pin blockers seal tight to the middle's shoulders.
All three blockers must jump vertically without drifting laterally so they don't collide in mid-air.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"Read the high ball early""Close shoulder to shoulder""Six hands over the tape"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Shows coaches how to train their off-blocker to recognize out-of-system situations and form an impenetrable three-person wall.
