Competitive Wash Drills

with Russ Rose,
Penn State University Head Coach;
Four consecutive NCAA Championships (2010, 2009, 2008, 2007) and five overall; 4x NCAA Championship Coach;
3X AVCA National Coach of the Year,
over 1000 career coaching victories,
recognized by USA Volleyball as one of their All-Time Great Coaches in 2005

Russ Rose's collection of unique drills will spark your team's competitive fire! Great drills for stressing the importance of teamwork and letting your team play the game of volleyball versus working on individual skills. Each drill uses the "Wash Scoring System:" teams play a series of two-ball rallies and must win both balls to score a point, otherwise, it's a wash and no points are scored. This allows you to handicap the scoring of the games and control how the balls are delivered into play when you have a great deal of talent on one side of the net and lesser talent on the other side. The drills also allow you to separate your starters and force them to compete against each other.
