For a beginner’s first lesson, we’ll start with anatomy and how it plays a big factor in what you do when you play.
Then we’ll go over the different types of spin and float a ball has, how ti approach each, and some more conceptual understandings to improve your volleyball IQ. Remember, an average athletic build with high volleyball IQ will almost always beat a strong athletic build with low volleyball IQ. So increasing your volleyball IQ no matter how athletic you are is the name of the game.
Around lessons 11-15+, we will have gone over most fundamentals and will be going through some more advanced techniques, what to look out for, and create a plan on how to elevate your game by learning different skills that complement your body type, physiology, and your energy. Every volleyball athlete is different, and it’s important to learn where someone can excel immediately, as well as what other skills need work. Depending on the level of play, we will also go into mindset during games, weather patterns, and more complex synergies. Most importantly, everything will be built on top of excellent fundamentals, and I will also be emphasizing conscious actions until it becomes muscle memory and second nature.
Lessons 4-10 will be fine tuning technique—this is where we will go into specific drills that will help train different muscles and skills. I’ll be giving different exercises to take back home so you can build the proper flexibility and strength as well. We will also start going into strategy and game sense.
The problem with learning fundamentals and technique is that it can be boring, so for our 2nd and 3rd lessons, I’m going to be teaching some fun and very cool tricks and things that you can implement in your game to make it more fun and enjoyable! We will be going over more fundamentals too, but it’ll be a mix~
