Sharing volleyball coaching insights and ideas

Here's a drill that says it works on speeding up a player's arm swing, but actually works against that in reality.

A lot of volleyball individual training drills seen on social media overstate what they'll help a player improve. Here's an example.

Here's a drill that says it's about training Setter IQ, but while it has a positive element, I don't actually see any IQ work happening.

Here's a video where a coach talks about why he has his young players do self-toss hitting. I agree with him on its value.

Here's a combination drill that has some good elements, but is timed in a way that puts players at risk unnecessarily.
Here's a drill that says it works in setting accuracy, but I would argue that it doesn't actually work on setting at all.

I've seen a variation of this drill used in person. Thought it was a bad idea then, and don't like this version any better.

Here's a serve-dig-attack that attempts to replicate a game-play sequence, suggesting it's game-like. But is it really?

Here's a drill that says it's all about reaction training, taking reading out. That is far from the actual case, however.

Here's a training sequence for beginning servers that for me has both conceptual and structural issues in its intent and design.
