You’re welcome!

Congratulations on your son progressing in the sport he loves. I truly appreciate your feedback and it is very rewarding to create videos that are helping and inspiring others to enjoy volleyball. Thank you for watching! Big cheers back to you from across the pond!

You're welcome! It was fun making this video and we saw big improvement in just one lesson.

Thanks for watching! And the nice comment. I’ll let them know.

That is an audible we use for serve receive. I teach my passers to call out either short (if short serve), Mine (if it is close) and then deep (if it's a deep serve). I got this technique from the previous Stanford coach at a clinic.

You're very welcome. Thanks so much for watching!

This is a common debate I hear. It was presented to me by a sports performance coach to increase the "twist" to the right by having the right knee up. Then when the player rotates forward she can rotate her right hip forward fully after the swing. Many people have told me this is backwards but if we put the left knee up to allow for the full "Open" and twist to the right, then when the player rotates forward she can't fully rotate her right hip forward. Pros and cons. Currently we now teach this technique while standing so the player can start with the left lead foot in front to open and then rotates the hip forward fully like a normal hitting motion. Thanks for leaving your comment and thanks for watching!

Thanks

👌

This is a fun age to coach

This one you can do without a volleyball court or gym. In a park.

You bet!

Glad it was helpful! And thanks for watching our video!

Our pleasure! As always thanks for watching

Yes middles have a very different transition compared to outsides.

Thanks for watching as usual!

@@CoachChijo i need this videos, to learn how to teach my girls.

Merci!

We’ve been running these drills every practice for both of our two teams lately and we’ve noticed a big difference in matches.

Yes we teach hitters to launch their last two steps when the set is roughly at the peak. High set, med set, low set… wait until the peak. If the set is lower then the hitter will have to launch very fast hence the quick attack. Hope that makes sense. Thanks so much for watching!

@@CoachChijo love, love your videos. It totally make sense. TY!

You’re very welcome!

The 2 steps you see are the same last two steps you mention in your “traditional” approach. I isolate just the last two steps when teaching the timing. We teach that the last two steps are the most critical for the timing. The athlete in the video has already put her third to last “Left” step down. In my opinion hitters are free to have a 3-step, 4-step or however-many-step approach. They can have 8 steps if they want. But the most critical and same across the board are the last two steps. Those are the ones we are practicing in this video. Hope that make sense. Thanks for watching!

Our pleasure!

Thanks for watching my video!

Excellent thanks for watching this one.

Great. Do you have your players jump serve?

@@CoachChijo Not yet, at the moment I'm trying to get them to draw from above correctly.

I teach all my players the technique. Not all of them do it immediately in a match but I teach them. They have fun with it. You may be surprised at the number of players who can do it.

You are welcome!

Hitting tight sets is a big problem because many younger setters set them tight. Then most hitters will not hit them but instead tip.

Yep serving is the most important volleyball skill in my opinion. I teach my players that it is an offense.

I like running back row attacks with my teams.

@@CoachChijo So far I have been playing 6-0 with 2 setters in the middle, and I want to start playing 5-1

Don't you have any video explaining the system?

the same as the system in the video where you won the championship

A 5-1 is fairly advanced as you must have a good setter who can take the pressure and also play back row defense. I determine the offensive system I will use for any given team based on the players I have each season. If the team has players with 2 good setters then maybe a two setter system. If I don’t have one really good setter who can also play defense then I may run a 4-2. I find the appropriate system for the players I have. The system can also change and evolve over the course of a season as player skills develop. Sometimes I use a system that is custom designed just for a particular team. It’s maybe not a system that other people are familiar with. I’ve often used a triangle or 3-setter system.

Thanks it was a very amazing day

Glad you liked it!

Welcome!

Glad to hear that!

Thank you! That’s our goal.

I will work on researching this possibility. Remind me where you are located?

Damn. This means my competition is gonna know😂

@@CoachChijo Chile!... Santiago de Chile

Who’s your competition?

Cool Thanks for watching!

Hmm online coaching. That is something I've thought about. Would you sign up?

@@CoachChijo claro que si!!!

OK now you have me really really thinking about this… Would I need a translator since my Spanish is not that good…

@@CoachChijo jajajajaja, not complicated

muy buena idea

This was a very fun lesson!

Yes that is correct.

Hope you enjoyed it!

When coaching club volleyball we typically rely on the minimum space behind the end line per USA Volleyball rules which is 6 feet. It’s not much room so we need to always teach our players to have a compact “approach” for serving. With younger players we tend to have more foot fault issues. When I coached high school I didn’t have to worry so much about that because we have a lot more space to work with.

Yes there are two lines at each end line. Once a player plays a ball she goes out and to the back of the line.

Thank you. Great exercise! I volunteer coach 13U and will be trying!

Yeah the kids love this. They get excited when we say we're playing tennis at a volleyball practice!

Yes that’s correct. That’s what I teach my younger players because when they get too aggressive with their approach or serving motion the serving control is not as good. We keep the motion and the mechanics more calm to maintain the server’s control of the serve and ball trajectory. Thanks for watching!

That’s mean! She’s my bestie and she’s a great volleyball player.

Yep she works hard and did her best! Great job!

Are you coach of a team?

@@CoachChijo Yes, I coach 6th, 7th and 8th middle school in Kentucky. Years back, I was coaching basketball and the school was desperate to find a volleyball coach. I went in not knowing too much outside of my daughter’s teams she played on. But over the years I’ve learned a lot and have my teams playing well and winning league championships. But where I lack as a coach is some of these fine tuning techniques. So I’m constantly trying to learn more. So, I appreciate your videos.

Great to hear you're coaching. We need all the positive coaches in this world helping kids. I have also coached basketball and soccer and can say that in general coaching is coaching. Once you understand how to teach in progressions it's a matter of learning the specific sport's technique and mechanics. Keep it up!

@@CoachChijo Thank you Coach!

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks for watching the video!

Thank you so much!

Hi Sebastian in Chile! Just released a new video today for 5 Keys to Hitting on the Right Side. Check it out. 5 Keys to HITTING on the Right Side th-cam.com/video/7YADfGcBXts/w-d-xo.html

I’m great Thanks for asking!
