You should jump straight up when blocking in volleyball, so you don't end up jumping into the net. However when hitting, sometimes it is good to allow room to jump forward a bit to propel the ball forward and down.

Jumping is important because in order to get a killer spike you have to have air and momentum to smash it to the ground.
