Volleyball Training and Drills On The Net: University of Beach Volleyball, Volleyball 1on1 and Beverly Oden on About.com

Volleyball Training and Drills On The Net: 

University of Beach Volleyball, Volleyball 1on1 and Beverly Oden on About.com

So with the ever-growing popularity of beach volleyball and the indoor volleyball game in the US, (the world is way ahead of us...) there seems to be an increasing amount of teachers and experts coaching the game. 

For me it's a lot of fun to listen to and learn from people who really know what they are talking about.

Beach Volleyball Training Advice

I just checked out the University of Beach Volleyball's training video, the ninth one out of ten.

I still have to check out the first eight but the volleyball training advice in this one made since to me. 

Basically the message is to focus on your technique in volleyball practice and not just concentrate on the "end result". 

Check it...you can kick a ball over the net and get the ball to land where you want it to three or four times in practice, but what is the proper technique you need to learn and apply so you can rely on getting the volleyball to the same open spot eight out of ten or 18 out of 20 times during a volleyball game?

Another beach volleyball training tip they give is for players to learn to establish volleyball training goals so they apply to beach game-like situations. 

Ask yourself..."is it important for you to get into good shape? Or is it more important to become a better beach volleyball player?" Good stuff. 

When you see who's on the University of Beach Volleyball advisory board then you'll understand why their beach volleyball tips make sense.

Volleyball 1on1 reports:

Volleyball ranks #1 amongst all participation sports with reportedly over 800 million worldwide. However, for recreational and competitive players alike, there are limited resources available to quickly improve one's game.

According to former NCAA volleyball champion Andor Gyulai (UCLA '98)

"Players often learn the sport of volleyball from teacher-coaches in school and seldom have access to quality coaching beyond their local area, yet it's imperative to receive high level instruction in order to progressively improve one's game," 

"Learning the sport and all of its little nuances from those who have lived and breathed volleyball in the trenches for several years expedites the learning curve and yields quicker results than just playing or attending camps."

Beverly Oden has posted some new volleyball drills this week that volleyball recruits 

and players of all ages should check out. 

Beverly recommends to volleyball coaches "to improve hitting, place your players in 

situations that are much tougher than in a match."  

This week Beverly has added three hitting drills:

Three on Three Front Row Attack Drill

Block and Hit Drill

and Hitter vs. Hitter Drill where opposing front row players compete against each 

other. Check out more spiking drills in the volleyball hitting drill hub.

Volleyball1on1.com Delivers Video Instruction from Top Volleyball Players and Coaches with New Website

Volleyball1on1.com Delivers Video Instruction from Top Volleyball Players and Coaches with New Website

Indoor and beach volleyball players worldwide can subscribe for access to up front and personal volleyball instruction from masters of the game 

Los Angeles, December 16, 2009 - Today, former NCAA volleyball champion Andor Gyulai (UCLA '98) gave recreational and competitive volleyball players reason to celebrate, with the launch of volleyball1on1.com - an interactive membership-based website that will bring invaluable game-improvement resources to the masses.

Volleyball ranks #1 amongst all participation sports with reportedly over 800 million worldwide. However, for recreational and competitive players alike, there are limited resources available to quickly improve one's game. It's for this reason that the former NCAA Champion made it his personal mission to create a means for anyone to have access to the most knowledgeable and skilled volleyball players and coaches in the world. Now, volleyball enthusiasts everywhere can enjoy the benefits of quality instruction conveniently from their own computer. Short and easy to digest videos in a personal 1on1-like setting give players and coaches at all levels of the game a valuable resource to improve one's game or coaching ability. The favorite tips, tools, drills and resources learned from and used by several seasoned masters of the game are finally accessible to those outside the borders of volleyballs hotbeds like Southern California.  

"Players often learn the sport of volleyball from teacher-coaches in school and seldom have access to quality coaching beyond their local area, yet it's imperative to receive high level instruction in order to progressively improve one's game," said Gyulai. "Learning the sport and all of its little nuances from those who have lived and breathed volleyball in the trenches for several years expedites the learning curve and yields quicker results than just playing or attending camps." 

The user-friendly website initially launches with video instruction from 6 top players and coaches, with new content, players and coaches being added weekly. Among the initial 6 video instructors are an Olympic Gold Medalist, current and former AVP/FIVB professionals, a Brazilin beach volleyball coach, and an NCAA Champion/MVP. The variety of knowledgeable and talented video instructors ensures that subscribers receive the best information available to improve their game - all from a single source.  

Given the highly competitive nature of sports today, kids, parents and coaches are seeking just about any edge they can get on the competition. "Video instruction simplifies and breaks down the game of volleyball making it easy to grasp the fundamentals, improve skills and follow along," said AVP veteran and Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Fonoimoana. "My video instruction on volleyball1on1 makes it easy for anyone with an internet connection and a desire to improve their game to find out the secrets I used to help me play my best and win Olympic Gold."

Investing in sports training is one of the best ways to improve performance. It's also a great way to instill the values of fair play, hard work and good sportsmanship. "Having quality information flowing into your brain translates into taking purposeful action in training and competition," Said Stein Metzger, three-time NCAA Champion (UCLA) and '96 MVP. Also, "the more you hear what a top player or coach is telling you, the more you'll be able to incorporate their wisdom into your game.and eventually you can even hear the advice in your head and make self-corrections right there on the court."  

Volleyball1on1 offers two membership options to consumers and both include a free two-week trial. One option includes access to weekly video instruction from a single player or coach for $4 per month and the second option includes access to all players and coaches on the volleyball1on1 roster for $20 per month. In addition to these paid services, a free weekly newsletter is available to all subscribers and guests who opt-in. The newsletter will include links to free videos, highlights of new content, players and coaches, promotions for camps/clinics being held by volleyball1on1 video instructors, product/service recommendations and much more. In the coming weeks, new video instructors will be announced including top AVP professionals and a prominent coach from the US Men's National Team.

Several video instructors working with Volleyball1on1 are giving back by donating a portion of their income to charitable causes such as Dig for Kids and Special Olympics. Anytime a new member joins, a portion of the monthly rate will make its way to a good cause and help out the philanthropic endeavors of worthy organizations in need of help.  

The complete lineup of video instructors, video content, volleyball-related products and subscription options can be viewed directly on volleyball1on1 online atwww.volleball1on1.com.

What can you learn from these girls in the red bikinis? Part 1

Loading

Patience is a virtue, especially in volleyball. whether it's patiently waiting to chip away at the score column by just siding out consistently while letting your opponent make all the mistakes or whether it's being calm and patient enough when you are serve receiving a ball (or passing a ball) to WAIT, bend your knees and give yourself a high enough pass so you have time to swing out to make a good hitting approach.

Suzanne Stonebarger, half of Team Gorgeous, shows you what it looks like to give yourself a good high pass first. Don't be rushed. How do I know she gave herself enough time? Because despite being in the sand, which naturally slows you down, and despite receiving a serve designed to put her into trouble by pushing her further back in the court and over to her right sideline--she still made a good enough pass to give herself the time to sidestep/side shuffle over to the left side of the court, stop and be ready to make a good spike approach and run a back set.



Most players would have stayed on the right side of the court to hit the ball because they probably wouldn't give themselves enough time when they passed the ball to run a set play.

Think about passing the ball first. Then get to position quickly for your approach. Breathe, pause a second...then make a strong approach.

Remember the ball is in your court.
