Girls Volleyball Articles on ImproveYourVolley.com

...let's get started!

You came here to improve your girls volleyball skills so let me tell you about some important things you'll find here on my site that will help you do just that. 

Serving the ball is the one skill in volleyball where a player can score a point all by themselves. 

• Learn important tips for the overhand serve.  
• Find the definition and explanation of the let serve, service error, overhand serve and other commonly used terms regarding a player and how they serve the ball 
• Discover why the serve is so important and how you can use it to quickly gain an advantage over the opposing team.
• Learn where to serve the ball, in what zones on the court and when to serve there along with other serving strategies. 
• Learn to score points with your serve, or just learn the basics 

Passing is the technique players use to receive a ball that is served to you from an opposing team's server.  

The pass is the first contact in a team's offense, once the ball has been served into their court by the opponent. When you pass the ball, you are transferring the ball to another  teammate who makes the second of three contacts your team is allowed when the ball is on your side of the court. 

There are two skills you must conquer if you are going to even think about playing competitive volleyball, the first is serving, the second is passing. Quite simply if you can't pass you can't play the game. 

When it comes to setting I think everyone should have a good touch and feel for the ball, regardless of what position you play in.

When teaching girls volleyball skills, we do many types of setting drills for accuracy, to build strength and for consistency.

On Improve Your Volleyball you'll find tips for young players to use immediately to self check your setting technique when practicing alone or at home.
