A volleyball block is when one or two members of the front row, usually the middle and the right side or left side jump up, arms extended, to block a spike from the opposing team. The intended result is for the ball to hit the two blockers' palms and ricochet back to the other side of the court, instigating either a point for the blocking team or a scramble to somehow recover the ball for the spiking team. However, there are many instances in which the ball goes through or over the block, or the blockers aren't close enough to the net so the ball ricochets off the block but still comes down on the blockers' side. In college and professional volleyball, however, a block is an effective way to get a point, though it is often recovered by the other team.
