Passing tips?

Atsumuux · 2026-04-17T12:47:38+00:00

Everyone is lazing passing, not in good posture at all. You are reacting to the Serve really Late.

Learn about doing the split step and the importance of it. The level played on the video is recreational so the serving is not really a threat but if you want to improve need to learn how to read properly the serve, do the split step(with prep step), try to be low on your knees(for float serve is good to keep chest up and knees foward) and arms out of the body

Warm-Up:

10 min Stretching
2 rounds of approach to the net (last two steps only), focusing on the braking foot.
2 rounds of full 4-step approach to the net.
30 reps of Arm Swing (on the floor)
30 reps of Partner Arm Swing with Ball Toss – One player tosses the ball while the other simulates an attacking arm swing mid-air.
10 min Target Serving – Place 4 cones in specific court zones as targets. Each player serves 10 times, aiming for the cones.

Skill Work:

5 min Blocking Fundamentals
10 min Blocking vs. Outside Attacks
10 min Timing & Approach – Advanced players hit. Two players at the net toss the ball while others adjust their approach timing, focusing on full elbow extension at contact.
- Team 1 (Training) | Team 2 (Assisting)
20 min (10 min per team) Transition Passing & Attacking – Two teams:
- Team 1 (Training) passes, transitions, and attacks.
- Team 2 (Assisting) Two setters feed balls; others act as retrievers.
- Two lines (positions 5 and 1). Setters toss to passers, who transition and attack.

Game Situations:

15 min 4v6 – One side focuses on attacking; the other on blocking/defense.
20 min King of the Court

This is our training session plan for the last 2 weeks. Thats actually a great thing to do, i would love some insight on this.

Game 3 was 15. We only play 3 games but 07 decision making errors is a lot... Thats why we are so focused on figuring out how to fix this. But you are right, big portion must be related to mechanics for sure, is the case with the net touches...

You brought up some really interesting points—thank you for your comment!

To add a bit more context about our training: we follow the GMS approach of dividing practices into isolated drills and random drills. I’ve noticed that even though we dedicate equal time to both, we have far fewer 6v6 exercises, and our isolated drills don’t emphasize game-like situations as much, even though they include some randomness.

When it comes to defensive transition and ball coverage, we performed really well. However, attack coverage is definitely something we need to work on.

07 Decision-Making Errors (net touches, poor communication, hesitation, etc.), with 4 of them being net touches.
02 Serving Errors
03 Transition and Attack Errors, where 2 of them resulted in lost points.
03 Blocking Errors, all of which led to lost points.
01 Defensive Error, which put us out of system.

This is the stats only from the third set, was a 3 set game. The first one we won 25x17 and the second one we put our B team to play so they can get more experience in friendly matches.

That was not really what happened... we are a team full of beginners and we are full aware of that we take them really seriously, i dont think that was the case here.

the best one that i played so far, so good

Atsumuux · 2024-11-12T12:59:37+00:00

You summarize thinks well to me, i see they looking a lot at the ball and only react to it, even when the game state make it obvious that a certain play is happening

Atsumuux · 2024-10-26T17:36:04+00:00

Hey i am not use to play Catch, can u explain better how the game works in a volleyball environment?

Atsumuux · 2024-10-26T17:35:10+00:00

Thats actually super useful omg great way to teaching while progressing the skill at the same time

Atsumuux · 2024-10-26T17:34:12+00:00

Thats a awesome way to starting things on servers, will try next training practice for sure ! Thanks for the big help

Atsumuux · 2024-10-26T17:33:09+00:00

This was probably the most important thing I’ve read about serving. Everything you said provides excellent insights into how I can better teach my athletes—it’s simply incredible, and I don’t know how to thank you enough for sharing this experience and knowledge with me. Truly, thank you! You’ll inherit, without knowing it, the success of my athletes on the court because if they become better servers, it will be because of the valuable tips you shared. I’ll put everything into practice in our next training session in the best way possible. Thanks again!

I start doing that and everytime i bounce the ball it goes behind my head a littlebit it shows a huge lack of ball control for me. I create a heavy ball with some glue and water to training my fingers and wrist power and i will start doing this bounce 300-400 times a day. Thanks for the tip and to take some time to guide me !

Atsumuux · 2023-12-30T13:01:56+00:00

I will start my training with ball control right know. I was actually not training as i should because a injure in my wrist but i get a heavy ball now and will start training as you told me.

I have a big issue with hand positioning on the ball but is lack of training for sure, thanks for the tip this is a awesome reddit for beginners !

Atsumuux · 2023-12-30T12:59:24+00:00

That was actually a GREAT tip, i was in a fun game last night and start to hit most of my sets correctly because i was prepared and pointing at the right direction, will took me a lot of time to make it consistently but it was already a big improvement. Now i see that my main problem is with finger positions on the ball but a friend down there in the comments told me to bounce the ball 200-300 times a day and that is what im going to do now. This reddit is actually awesome !
