Some Slides

Here are some videos of some pretty good slides by Middle Hitters, with some help from the Off-Side.

Video number 1 has a good example of some foot work and a good cross hit. She jumps on her left foot (which you need to do to get the angle shot).

Video number 2 shows how the Slide can be done with the Off-Side. It's called a split. The Middle Hitter goes for the slide while the Off-Side (watch blonde #11) goes for a middle attack by stepping in to the 3 position after the Middle Hitter has crossed. Note that the setter could have set Middle or Off-Side. Carole L, you may want to try this Wednesday.

Video number 3 is a drill for setting the slide. As a blocker, you may want to set up so the slider has an open line and take away the cross.
