Stuff
A block that sends the ball directly back down to the attacker's side for an immediate point. The ball never crosses back to the blocking team's court. Stuff blocks are tracked as solo blocks or block assists and are among the most momentum-shifting plays in the game.
Example
Pin swings, double is closed, ball never crosses back, the block party starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stuff block in volleyball?
A stuff is a block for an immediate point: ball in, block, floor on the attacker’s side, rally over. The crowd still calls it a roof.
How do you get more stuff blocks?
Close the seam, seal, jump with the arm, not the set. The ball tells you the truth, not the hitter’s eyes.
