@standtallvolleyball: The short answer is… because it’s more realistic! You’ll rarely ever hit against zero blockers in a game, so why wouldn’t you practice hitting against a blocker as much as possible? Not to mention, it’ll also be great blocking practice for whoever is on the other side of the net from you. The next time you and your setter want to run through a couple hitting lines, ask another teammate to join you so you can challenge yourself to hit around the block! #volleyball #hitting
