03 · On-court execution
  1. Blocker tracks last two attacker steps and shoulder for likely line/cross route.
  2. Deflection must be collected by a backcourt teammate.
  3. Watch the ball and attacker together at the final step.
  4. Log each repetition according to this measure: Count successful block-to-dig continuation.
04 · Suggested training dose

15 minutes

10 balls in the starting series, with rest adjusted to quality and player level.

05 · Measured success criterion

Count successful block-to-dig continuation.

Record attempts, success and errors; do not infer progress from volume alone.

06 · Safety and adaptation

Keep landing lanes clear, reduce repetitions when jump quality drops and maintain safe net clearance.
