Been playing indoor and sand for years, and I'm 25 and just now watched this. Only been coached in college and I'm still learning volleyball! Love this sport and the videos
Another solid cinematic gem from the Bros! Your editing style and blend of instructional, graphics, and in-game teaching tools help newbies and vets alike to step up their game(s). Can’t wait to see you lumberjacks kick some arse at AVP Austin.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for these videos. It's so refreshing to have tutorials that don't make me want to fall asleep. Your videos have really helped me improve my level of play. When you talked about giving up some portion of the court and not being able to cover one area helped me mentally. Helped me mentally become less frustrated when playing.
I'm mostly a blocker, but this video really helped me out understanding where my partner will be and I've already shared it with a bunch of defenders I play with!
As a beach coach, I love your videos, a lot of stuff I know from playing, but not a lot of stuff I say in words. You guys do a good job of communicating what you actually do, and that is honestly the hard part, since beach isn't nearly as fleshed out as the indoor game. Great video!
Ogni video meglio di quello prima, grazie ai vostri consigli stiamo alzando la qualità del gioco e dei nostri allenamenti💪 complimenti per il vostro lavoro e un grazie enorme dall'Italia 🇮🇹
As an older beach volleyball player, this info is GOOD! No wasted movement and hopefully no spread eagles if you can fake them out to hitting right at you. I’ve played juke D my whole career in the ‘90’s with the big court, and as an older player, the small court is a god send...unless your playing against a huge ass blocker haha. Keep it up bros!
Finally the video I need the most! I've to work a lot on my defense skill. All your videos are precious to improve! Thanks so much! And the bearded tank is so cool!
Hey guys! I had a couple questions for you wasn't sure the best place to ask so here I am! 1. what are the rules for going after a dig that goes onto the opponents' side of the net and do you have to hit it back outside/inside the antennae? 2. What's the rule on doubling a roll shot? If you dive and it hits your hand then face is that legal? Since it's considered one attempt? I've seen it called both ways. Thanks in advance! Keep posting the amazing videos!!
Great video! Knowing this stuff makes even watching beach volleyball more fun as it becomes more like a game of poker. If you sometimes bet high when you have nothing, your opponents might also call you when betting high with aces. It's the same with sometimes blocking angle so that the 3 will work.
You guys are awesome, please keep it up. I'm a former basketball player turned volleyball (beach) and your instructions are freakn awesome as I'm working on moving from A to open here in Atlanta starting my second year playing. Thank you.
Being 6'9" I've became a decent blocker but the blocking video that goes with this one made it even better. Everyone here just tells you okay block this but not how. I really need to work on my server receive and your 3 steps helped tremendously. I know it may be hard to read people but can you say something about that if you haven't already. I struggle in that department and if I do get it, I respond too late. Thank you again
Same for me. Just block dude! The Beard Bros are 10 years too late for me, but I'm happy to see the new guard! AVP should totally pay you for this. The Beard Bros effect will happen in less than 3 years. So much talent is being refined right now. Beach Vball is back!
You guys are really great player's who I'm looking up to, those lessons really help does not mater on what level are you playing. Just wanted to say thank you, and I really wish that your channel grows much wider when 7K people.
Awesome video. I was wondering if you could make a video about how it was to change from right handed to left handed, since I know Maddison did it. I've been having shoulder problems for quite some time now and I was wondering if it was worth considering. Appreciate the quality you guys put out, keep it up!!
Haha, watching in 2020. I have been trying to primarily become more comfortable with my teammate this summer without indirectly telling each other what to do. It is hard, but these tips will help us tremendously. Cheers bro's
Incredible video man! I haven't noticed that you played in our Superlega! Thank you for the advices, like your friend Dustin Watten use to say, love and light from Italy!
First off I just want to say thank you for the videos that you guys make, my game has definitely improved just by watching your guises videos. It would be pretty awesome if you guys made a video on what foods to eat And what supplements you take during a tournament. I find it very difficult to eat anything at all during the tournament, but I know that’s really bad for the body. Thank you.
The shirts are brilliant! Defense question - does when you make a move (or IF you make a move) differ if the set is in the middle? I find myself always getting caught because I start second guessing on where they might go + it's hard to set up in a place where I can see the hitter well to the inside of the block because it's a tiny sliver of court and now 3/4 of the court is open....
Hey thank you very much for doing this video, I am fairly new to volleyball and I trust my speed to get me to the ball but the ball is really fast so I don't quite make it or if I do make it to the ball 90% of the time I end up eating sand. I have a small tournament 2 weeks from now so I will practice the picker blinder!
@@themckibbinbrothers Hey guys, I gotta thank you. I was able to use the picker blinder a couple of times although I still don't master it. For a couple of points I was able to trick the hitter into putting the ball right into my arms. Feels good to not have to run every play. As for the tournament, didn't do well as winning goes but had a lot of fun. It was actually my first and I loved it.
Muchas gracias por este información muy importante amigos!! Which about covers my most complex sentence en Espanol, lol...! Having played indoor myself, I can def confirm the drastic diff between that & beach! Also, I def appreciate the Italian content/language as well, as ironically I'm of Italian descent, but really only know mostly musical/food terms...! ;} Stay safe & God bless! Ciao! :)
Hey. Great video as always (at last a defense video :D ). Anyway, could you maybe in the future make a video on prehab exercises? Surely you were shown the best ways to prehab knees and shoulders playing pro in Italy and Greece :) Greetings from Slovenia!
3rd time I've watched this cause it's awesome to work on for one of your "3 things to practice". Quick question, and maybe you could make a short vid on this: When you are defending, and trying to make your "read", where are your eyes looking/focused on? Hitters hand, arm, upper torso, the ball, hot chick walking by... etc? I feel like I need about 1/4th of a second quicker read to dig a lot more balls.
Can you guys do a video to help get better at overhand digging? I've been playing 30 years can dig anything underhand yet still suck overhand! Help! Please and thanks!
Ciao fratello barbuto, I have one question. But let me start with some context. Looks like line or angle defense are more the "basic" ones, where you just go for commitment and discipline. But I believe one thing you didn't mention is that they also imply that the defender has to be already IN HIS/HER DESIGNATED SPOT when the attacker hits the ball. That means you take away the strong cross or line hit, but you have to be mentally ready to sprint and get that high-line or cut shot. Now, the question is: when you go for fakes and you show something or you hide... the defender would never be able to be in the designated spot when the attacker hits the ball. Is this what we're supposed to do? Should we be ok with taking the risk of still be running when we decide to cheat/read on defense? Does this even make sense?
I have a question about defense if you’re not playing a more traditional blocker up front defender in the back. I play at a lower level and the setting and hitting usually aren’t as consistent so consistent blocking plays are kinda rare. Most defensive plays usually result in both of us standing almost side by side and trying to dig whatever comes over. Should my partner and I still try to setup with a “blocker”/defender even if player at the net might have to pull most of the time? I know that when I’m hitting I definitely “feel” the presence of someone at the net and have to mentally adjust even if they don’t actually block. I feel like blocker/defender is more efficient but I struggle to get in a consistent rhythm with it.
putting emphasis on the "batter's box" is very important, i always feel like i'm making better contact when I'm a tad more patient in the batter's box, so no matter where the set is, you have a higher hitting percentage....
Thanks for your videos guys! They are excellent and very interesting !! I love your tank with moustache and beard!!!!!! Greetings from Switzerland !!! How can I have one of your tank ???
Loool I would have purchased merch just to support you guys, but i legit want that beard tank. That's fantastic. As to the video, that was well structured and for me at least, really informative. The part where you said giving certain areas of the court up as basically "perfect balls," ... Well do you feel that it's worth it to not try because being able to get to the other spots counter acts/ cancels out those missed points?
I love your vids, must say! Love the way you are living! But something bugs me in this video. The attacker who thinks the angle is wide open confuses me a bit, especially when you say the 2 call sets up the 3. Isn't it the other way around? That when you have faked your angle blocking enough times (the 3 call) the attacker thinks you will do the same one more time, only this time you actually stay (the 2 call)? Consequently the attacker has no options but to become food for Madisons block or to shot the ball over.

FANTASTIC video guys, thank you for teaching the game to people who don’t have opportunities to have coaching. Hope to see you guys out there one day.
As a beach coach, I love your videos, a lot of stuff I know from playing, but not a lot of stuff I say in words. You guys do a good job of communicating what you actually do, and that is honestly the hard part, since beach isn't nearly as fleshed out as the indoor game. Great video!
Riley, you should make a video on setting, from your indoor days!
The McKibbin Brothers yayy
love ALL the videos but this one was incredible! Information was crazy good, but your videography is stellar!!
Well done video. The little cut aways are so important for spatial recognition to go along with the words!
The video is filled with useful theoretical information. Thank you. This is exactly what we need to improve the play performance.
Ogni video meglio di quello prima, grazie ai vostri consigli stiamo alzando la qualità del gioco e dei nostri allenamenti💪 complimenti per il vostro lavoro e un grazie enorme dall'Italia 🇮🇹
on a side note from all the awesome info in the vid. The beard bro tanks are genius haha
Do the T's have the same hidden beard?
great tips, these are the things you dont notice in 'tv', but are crucial
So glad I found this. You guys are gold. Gonna use these tips tomorrow morning on the sands of Jensen Beach
riley speaking italian shocked me lol
Like it's his mother tongue 😂
I've been waiting for this video all my life. Thank you very much from Alicante, Spain.
MCK Volleyball jajajaja your spanish is better than my english.... I've Just used your tips in my practice today.... They really work. 😀

Finally the video I need the most! I've to work a lot on my defense skill. All your videos are precious to improve! Thanks so much!

Can't get over how fascinating this is, love every video !
Thanks a million.I was the one who suggested the content and as expected you made an incredibly good tutorial.
Amazing athletes with amazing personalities and coaching skills . A lot to take form this video. Thank you guys
This video was great help for the upcoming beach season thank you!! Whole game will be changed
The wait was worth it! Thanks for putting this video out. Props for the Peaky Blinders reference. Great show and one of my favorites! Keep it up guys!

MCK Volleyball you guys should come to Florida, so we can play

This is REALLY helpful! Where does the defender stand if the blocker makes a "split call"? I assume the defender stands straight behind the blocker?
Incredible video man! I haven't noticed that you played in our Superlega! Thank you for the advices, like your friend Dustin Watten use to say, love and light from Italy!

Alright, this video gives me goddamn life. Absolutely what I needed!
guys you're great and inspiring , helped me get beck there and practice , thank you .
The best video yet! And the shirt is off the hook.
Great video! And I can wait to get the merchandise, the tanks look sick!
Great video as always! It'll be a while before I'll need to pull perky blinder but knowing this will also make watching pro games more fun!
Come sempre gran bel video! Continuate così! Numeri 1
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your filmed tutorial :) THANK YOU! Now I will try to improve my game playing daily with friends
The McKibbin Brothers I will! :)

Can you guys go over hand setting and how to get a soft pass on a hard driven ball to set up for a good hand set
This video was so helpful and peaky blinders is so good.
Great content i love it thank you!! It really helped me out!
Thank you so much guys its great help for us beginners to watch your video.... God bless and more power....

Great animation!
Defense looks hard, think I'll stick to blocking :) Any chance you ship to Europe?
This is great content!!
Awesome info! :) Thanks!! :)
Very helpfull !! Thanks a lot !!!
Awesome video, but when are you going to do the video that we all are obviously waiting for?! Beard care, what do you do?
Shirt is sick!
Thanks for your videos guys! They are excellent and very interesting !! I love your tank with moustache and beard!!!!!!
Greetings from Switzerland !!!
How can I have one of your tank ???
Top quality info
Awesome vid, great stuff, thx!
Thus helped a lot, I only play indoor and my neighbor asked for me to play beach on Sunday and I had no idea lol
Loool I would have purchased merch just to support you guys, but i legit want that beard tank. That's fantastic.

Well do you feel that it's worth it to not try because being able to get to the other spots counter acts/ cancels out those missed points?
MCK Volleyball oh alright. That makes more sense. More of a "don't beat yourself up cause it's perfect," type of thing?
I have a question haha if I calling angle with my left and line with my right IF I have to back up, do I back up to my angle or line ?
Great video? How about defending/blocking middle sets. Adjusting your defense to quick sets?
This comment must be seen
Would be awesome to know strategies for that!
Also thoughts on over the back set hits and hits on second touch would be interesting to hear.
MCK Volleyball hey don't underestimate your audience dude. I've sat through Mark Burik hour long videos multiple times 😄🤔
MCK Volleyball you guys need to come out with a movie already... have you seen beach kings?
Victor Vega wowwww beach kings, I love that movie...
Wow! Those beard tanks tho!!!!
Tq bro for information....✌🏽✌🏽
I like the “he never listens” side note lol
What means jukes?? Can t fine it in the dutch-english dictionary.....Thanks for sharing the videos.
Greeeeeeeeeat... thank you so much guys!!!
I love your vids, must say! Love the way you are living!

I agree!
thank you soo much
wow ur the best dude
think about it ... THATS INSANE :D best defense quote ever
"by orde of the fuking peaky blinders" Che citazione!!! Grandi!!!!
Have watched all the vids but still can’t figure out how to move one eyebrow at a time 🤨
😂🤣 nice one !
Grazie!!!
Do like pit viper glasses for merch
hahahahah nice shirts!! And nice video too. Thanks again!!
for that free advice, i'd purchase a beard on the inside =) good stuff keep it coming....
