Senior Night with Addi by April Chapple

Hiring a private volleyball coach for private or semiprivate indoor lessons are an excellent way for Las Vegas volleyball players to quickly improve their individual skills.

These lessons are conducted by me...former pro volleyball player, former USA Volleyball High Performance instructor and Evaluator and Tstreet Vegas 18s head Coach and elite volleyball coach April Chapple on a weekly basis.


As I posted on my Coach April Instagram post..



"The frustration you feel as a player when learning something new is real.

I know it’s not easy to do but one of the main things you can do is give yourself grace and work on being patient as well..

....at the same time

... check your self talk

... keep it positive

… and try not to judge EVERY rep."

                                -Coach April Chapple


"Let your body just get use to doing the skill repeatedly to build muscle memory. If every rep you tell yourself something negative ...."I suck, I can’t.. or I didn’t because" ... are great examples… it usually takes longer to achieve the goal you’re shooting for… to improve." -Coach April volleyball quote"Let your body just get use to doing the skill repeatedly to build muscle memory.

"As you get stronger physically, mentally and emotionally doing a specific skill you’re working on, you will see and feel your progress and your results will become more noticeable. Be patient you will improve." 🏐More balls will get to the target, 🏐your body parts will feel more in control 🏐you’ll spend less effort and energy to do the skill because it’ll become more natural to do 🏐you’ll hear feedback from the teammates and 🏐hopefully stats will improve.""As you get stronger physically, mentally and emotionally doing a specific skill you’re working on, you will see and feel your progress and your results will become more noticeable.

At your most frustrating moments.. instead of being emotional about your progress try being methodical and non-judgmental about each rep.

Try “I got this” whether you did or didn’t .. “I got this” over and over until you really do.

(Or “next” or a simple “okay” and keep it moving)

As you get stronger physically, mentally and emotionally doing a specific skill you’re working on you will see and feel your progress and your results will become more noticeable.

🏐More balls will get to the target
🏐your body parts will feel more in control
🏐you’ll spend less effort and energy to do the skill because it’ll become more natural to do
🏐you’ll hear feedback from the teammates, and
🏐hopefully stats will improve.

Such a Great 🔥 training session today @kk.vbplayer .. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I will always believe in you. 💙

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.

Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.

If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
