USA VOLLEYBALL- 10 New Commandments of Volleyball
John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director sent out the New 10 Commandments of Volleyball for Coaches. Here are the things that stuck out the most.
"The NET is GOLD, the BALL is SILVER and the COURT is BROZE"- We always want to make sure we are performing over the net.
"Begin with, and Focus on Teaching Good Errors, not Bad Errors"- For example serve over, not into the net, pass/dig up, not tight or over the net, set too high, not too low, set too far off the net, not too tight or over, hit over the net not into the net etc. Good misses over bad misses.
"Teach using BOTH hans to play a ball over the net" - No pokies, cobras, two hand up etc, this is NOT beach! If the ball is set too far out use your left hand to attack the ball instead of reaching with your right and save your knees.
"Make things GAMELIKE as possible"- If the players become the world's best at a certain drill will they be doing what is wanted from them in a game? Unfortunately NO! The best drill is Volleyball. (6 vs 6 This includes scrimmages)
