Why do balls hit the ground Disbelief and miscommunication

- Club coach Craig Moore talks about why so many balls hit the ground when there are six players covering a small court: Disbelief that it's possible and hesitation because you don't think it's your ball to dig.
How do you remedy these two things? As a coach, it's your job to instill in your players the belief they can dig any ball and encourage constant communication between players on the court. Remind your players constantly: If you think you can dig a ball, dig it. Be aggressive, communicate and make the move.

First mistake is going to the dive as first instinct... 97% of all hits are middle.. I totally agree... Don't know who's ball it is...
Would teaching the dive on grass be effective? I know you wont slide as well.just trying to prevent injury.
I think the slide can help mitigate some of the impact, so grass might actually be more painful, but as with everything it's worth a shot.
"As a beach coach", that's the bias. Beach volley rules make the hits easy to dig, no way a ball will take 3 seconds to drop in an indoor court. Tips are effective because you often have to cover for a VERY fast spike, and as a second choice you cover for the tip. When you manage to stay in system, with the block covering some angles, someone will take care easily of the tips. Of course, having 6 opponents and not only 2, most of the time you have to improvise your positioning.
I understand the point of the coach, which is stay vigilant and move your body, but he's oversimplifying the cause
Simplifying is exactly the goal of this, if you complicate the fact that the ball was going down, but I was ready for something different, someone else should have taken it then you add up to you hesitation. We all know that reality is different, but making people believe is sometimes even more important. That's how teams win matches that they should have lost already ;)
If a ball is tipped over the height of the block and a defender is not able to take two steps to pursue it, they read it late or reacted too slowly. Being too committed to defending hard driven balls results in the slow to react scenario. Believe the play is possible> learn to read the attacker> improve reaction time > better defender. Same process indoors or outdoors.
Any ball with the same peak height will take the same time to hit the ground regardless of the surface you are playing on. Gravity acts in the Y direction so X distance doesn't matter (google myth buster bullet experiment). So any ball that is tipped, rolled, poked (no downward force applied) from 9ft, to a peak of 12ft will hit the ground at the same time. It's definitely an oversimplification, but that's the whole point (don't think just go).
