## Test 1: Blocking footwork

- For a short move, the blocker steps with one foot and closes with the other. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- Crossing one foot over the other covers the long way to the antenna quickly. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- Square hips send the jump up rather than along the net. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- Hands kept high are ready to go over the net the moment the blocker jumps. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- Floating along the net causes collisions and net touches. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- A firm outside edge keeps the ball from deflecting out off the block. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
- The middle must reach both sides of the net. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)

- A hitter attacking a high ball is further from the net, so the ball takes longer to reach the block. (Quelle: FIVB Coaches Manual (Levels I-II), general coaching references)
