Dear Volleyball Mom,
Do You Know What Sets My Private Volleyball Training Apart From Anyone In Vegas?
I invite You to read what my private volleyball training mission says before considering hiring me as a private volleyball coach because I'm not available for everyone.
Volleyball Drills For Kids Players Who Like Tennis and Short Court
Tennis and short court one vs one are two fast paced volleyball drills for kids that get you ready for scrimmages and game like drill situations in practice.
Tennis has become one of my favorite volleyball drills for kids.
Tennis doesn't have to only be played by adults on a tennis court..because kid players can play too.
Using two of the basic volleyball skills, setting and passing as a way to get the ball over the net, tennis "volleyball-style" helps players work on finding an open space on the court so they can score points and win matches.
Volleyball Drills For Kids Full Court Tennis
Just like regular tennis each player gets one contact which can be a sett attack or a bump attack...no overhand hitting in this version.
The idea is to find open spaces on the court so strategically place the ball...just like table tennis you need to keep your head on swivel and use wide vision to see all open areas of the court.
Players can enter in on both sides when one side loses or everyone can enter in from one side.
Tennis is a fun fast paced game that requires fast feet, quick reactions and an aggressive "attack" attitude.
Volleyball Drills For Kids Short Court One on One
Beginner short court one vs one is one of our favorite volleyball drills for kids practice.
Another one of the fun volleyball drills for kids I like to do is short court one vs one.
Similar to tennis but on a shorter court, this drill tests your quick reflexes, wide vision and ability to see the open areas on a smaller court.
Fun Volleyball Drills For Kids: One vs One, Only One Contact Per Side, Short Court
The opposite of "flow" is king or queen of the court where the winner of each rally stays on the "king" side and earns a point while the loser goes off the court and gets in line behind the new server who has a chance to step up and play.
Each new newcomer gets to serve every time and if they win they come under the net and they are now the new king or queen.
When you earn the right to be king and first go under the net you don't earn a point. But if you win the next rally you start earning points for every rally you win.
Volleyball Drills For Kids Short Court Games
Variations of short court "rules" range from
One contact - Passing only
One contact - Setting only
Two contacts - Passing and setting only
Two contacts - Two passes only
Three contacts - pass, set, tip
Three contacts - pass set tomahawk
Three contacts - pass, set, hit

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.
Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2
There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with
the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
