The JVA Presents: The ABC's of Volleyball Skills & Drills for Young Athletes

Ever struggle with how to teach a complex skill to new athletes? Look no further. This video will guide you through the basic skills of volleyball; what the skill should look like, how you can introduce the skill to your young players, how to fix common errors and demos on how to train the skill.

Sixteen-time State Championship coach Ron Kordes creates an atmosphere of success and an attention to detail that will help you get your future volleyball stars off to a solid start. The more you teach early and correctly, the fewer bad habits you will be correcting later on.

Coach Kordes utilizes young athletes in the video while he masterfully demonstrates the Three Components of Teaching a New Skill:

• Model the skill
• Have athletes do the skill with player-initiated drills
• Provide athletes with positive feedback

Part one of this two-part video focuses on teaching techniques for Forearm Passing, Over and Underhand Serving, Setting, and Attacking.

Part two focuses on progressive drills that teach the same skills and reinforce those skills in game-like situations.

Each skill is broken down and thoroughly explained and modeled by the young athletes before a progression of both coach and player-initiated drills are introduced. Peppered throughout the video, Coach Kordes shares many coaching points and tips to make teaching the skills easier and more effective.

Coach Kordes wraps up the video with several combination drills to keep your athletes challenged and engaged, developing a lifelong love of the great sport of volleyball.

This is the blueprint you need to teach inexperienced players the basic skills of volleyball. Packed full of drills for each skill, you will find enough information to get your season off to a great start!
