There are two types of blocking, and both are important for athletes to learn because coaches prefer different methods depending on their training, players and defensive system of choice. While static blocking is generally taught first, swing blocking is a critical aspect of higher-level volleyball.

1 | Swing blocking: Used to cover more ground and requires swinging the arms to gain momentum, distance and height.

2 | Static blocking: More controlled and simpler footwork, normally the first type of blocking athletes are taught.
