Here’s something I put together for you that I thought you would get a little enjoyment out of… it focuses on “Teaching Novice Volleyball Players”
Envision this….. You are in the state championship, it is the last game, the score is tied up and it is against the team from across town!
The team has been playing extremely hard coming back from behind and then it happens, one of your star players sprains an ankle. As you are standing there looking up and down the bench it dawns on you that all you have left are rookies.
At this point there are all sorts of ideas floating through your head, but all is not lost since you have taken the time to teach your greenhorns the basics of volleyball drills. Teaching your players to be a contributing factor in a game as fast as possible is the answer to making sure that your team will not be caught in a compromising situation.
Seeing as that you are the coach it is your job to get the novice players on the court as soon as possible and practicing, now do not be a softy, put them through the exact same paces as starters.
Not quite sure where to start?
As a top priority, coaches should start with the basics when teaching drills.
The drills should be given to the athlete in a sequence that gives them the best chance to be a contributor as fast as possible while in game situations. When trying to determine where the first place to start is, we must remember that passing is needed to start a play; therefore passing would be our first set of drills.
Passing drills are a necessity as a player needs to know how to start a play.
If a player is not careful they could wind up being the opposing team’s best power if they don’t know how to prepare and ready themselves for the spike coming their way.
