Hey, all you volleyball fans. This is a fun way to share information so don't be shy. Volleyball is a game you can play throughout your life, so I believe it is important to learn the correct techniques when you first begin learning the game, whether it is at 9 years old or into adulthood. It's great to learn when your young, because it is like riding a bike. If you learn it right, you will retain those skills. A teammate asked my daughter if she thought she would ever quit volleyball. My daughter replied, "Why would I ever quit the greatest game in the whole world?" I think she has the bug! Coaches; teach the skills correctly, and make the practices fun and not too long. "Passing and serving" is the mantra to instill in your players, but it is also good to introduce other skills; footwork for spiking and blocking, setting and how to go down on the floor for a ball. I will be publishing an E- book in the near future showing my way of teaching the skills. My focus is on the young player, with modifications for those who aren't big or strong enough to perform all the skills successfully. There will be more to come. If you have any ideas, please write and I will be happy to write back to you. Have a great day and remember, you can have your players set and pass to themselves in the house to work on control. Sorry parents!
