Hi Amy,

It is important to keep the drills simple and focus on the fundamental skills of Volleyball. These include setting, spiking, passing, digging and serving. Here is a great drill to help beginners get a feel for the ball and practice setting the ball.

Volleyball is the ultimate team sport - no player can dominate alone. Effective communication before, during, and after every play prevents confusion and creates a cohesive, confident team.

Attack Efficiency: Hitting Variety and Shot Selection

Elite attackers don't just hit hard - they hit smart. Shot variety, reading the block, and making good decisions under pressure separate great hitters from one-dimensional power players.
