Beginner training plan
Your first training sessionBuild comfort, assess skills, and start with the basics.
I start with a warm-up and light footwork drills to get their body moving and nerves settled. Then I walk through the fundamentals: proper hand placement for passing, ready position, and how to move to the ball. We’ll do basic passing drills like “Toss & Pass” to work on technique. I end with fun, low-pressure games so they leave confident and excited.
Training Session 2-3Reinforce basics + introduce new skills.
We’ll sharpen passing with more movement, then introduce setting and underhand serving. I’ll show form, then we drill with simple progressions. Each drill builds muscle memory and court awareness. We finish with mini games that combine the new skills—fun and functional.
Training Session 4-10Skill development, repetition, and game awareness.
We’ll go deeper into serving (float serve, consistency), setting with accuracy, and introduce hitting footwork and arm swing mechanics. More team-based drills like “pepper,” serve receive rotations, and hitting lines. By lesson 10, they’ll feel ready to play in a real scrimmage!
Training Session 11+Game strategy, confidence, and competitive reps.
These sessions are tailored to their progress. We’ll run full court drills, mock games, work on mental toughness, court communication, and advanced movement. I focus on sharpening their strengths while fixing habits that hold them back.
