Gold Medal Squared Tip

Middle Blocker Commit Examples

In this week’s video presented by Gold Medal Squared, we share two examples of a middle blocker “commit blocking.” For those who may be newer to coaching volleyball, the commit is typically more common in men’s volleyball. This is basically an “all in” blocking move and is used when a team has reason to believe the opponent is going to set quick. The downside is it typically leads to a 1 on 1 swing for the offensive in the event they don’t set quick. It’s a cost benefit tactic that should be used sparingly.
