Context photo; the steps describe this exercise.
Three vector instruction panels for offline use. The reference photograph is not included.
Base skill reference, not an exact illustration of this individual progression.
Practical on-court execution
Starting coaching cues to adapt for player level, squad size and readiness.
Technical / tactical target
Connect approach speed, safe takeoff and stable two-foot landing.
Court and equipment
Start without the net; mark the takeoff and landing areas.
Use a stable low box only for supervised preparation; do not serve or spike standing on it.
Progressive steps
- Practice a controlled long penultimate step then short final plant.
- Jump vertically, arms coordinated, without drifting forward.
- Land quietly with hips and knees aligned; hold two seconds.
Reacting to an auditory whistle trigger
Start only after the signal, but retain visual ball tracking and a safe stopping distance.
No separately verified photograph exists for this constraint. See the parent setup reference image.
3 sets × 4 approaches with generous recovery.
Stable landing without net drift or knee collapse.
Stop for pain; do not add height or box depth until landing is reliable.
