Want To Be Trained In Volleyball From The Ground Up?
...Or are you wanting to improve your volleyball skills or techniques? This site on drills and techniques is here to help you. It can be your guide as a player or a coach.
One of the reasons I love this sport is that it is something
that
everyone can play. I have seen some of the best outside hitters with a
horrible vertical leap. I have seen short setters that were amazing at
running the offense. This is a game of technique and skills. I want to
help you develop and refine those abilities.
It is also a sport that requires teamwork. There are other sports where a superstar can dominate the game even if the rest of their team isn't very good. With this sport, you must take a team approach.
This web site is really targeted to those people that want to get started on this great sport. When you play for the first few times competitively, it can be confusing to people. That is why I wanted to create this web site so that it will reduce the confusion. Let me tell you about my experience starting as a player and see if this sounds familiar...
As I was growing up, I spent most of my life playing basketball. I came from a basketball family. During high school, I started looking for a sport that I could play during the off season so that I could stay in shape. Someone suggested that I play volleyball.
I laughed at them and said that it wasn't really a sport for guys. They humored me and said that I should come play anyway. I decided to give it a try.

The first few times that I went and played, I was humiliated! I was frustrated that I didn't understand why people were moving to different spots on the court, why only certain people could hit the ball, or what position I was supposed to play.
I saw people hitting the ball and I thought it looked easy. As I went to hit the ball for the first time, I was so excited to hit that I got to the net before the ball did and had to wait to hit. Well, that didn't work so well. I saw people much smaller than I was hitting the ball like they were my size. I was so embarrassed.
I am tall (6'6") and so I thought that blocking would be real easy for me and that I would have an advantage over everyone else that was smaller. The first time I went to block the ball, I was in the net like a caught fish. The next time I went to block, I was proud of myself. I stayed out of the net and I blocked the ball straight down...on my side of the net.
Passing wasn't much different for me. I am an extremely competitive person and I couldn't understand why I couldn't get the ball to go where I wanted it to. It was really frustrating! As I watched other people pass, I realized that there were fundamental skills and techniques that I needed to master. I needed help...
Well, as I continued to play, everything started making sense and the fundamentals started coming together, but it took years to get to that point.
Now, I spend more time teaching people the game of volleyball rather than playing. As I thought about it, I wanted to create a web site that had the information for those wanting to learn this great sport and learn to play it the right way.
When I say the right way, I don't mean family reunion volleyball. Ever played volleyball at a family reunion or similar gathering? It is almost like tennis where everyone is trying to hit the ball over the net with one hit...that isn't very fun.
