April 23, 2010, Newsletter Issue #246: Talk Loud Drill

Tip of the Week

Although itīs not emphasized in many of the manuals, talking is one of the most important skills in volleyball. Hereīs a drill to encourage talking:

Have your coach toss a ball into play. From the very moment the ball crosses the net, someone needs to call out whatīs going on. It shouldnīt be one particular person. Everyone needs to learn to talk. What should they say? Thereīs something that could be said on every hit on every play. "Out," "In," "Mine," "2 Up," "Iīm here," the list is endless.

If no one talks, the team runs sprints, laps or whatever has been decided upon before the drill begins.
