An excellent resource with videos for all the basic skill with key coaching points is the following link. Covers the basics of the pass, dig, set, spike and block.

The volley is the simplest shot to learn but requires skill and speed to do accurately as a setter.

The philosophy of our training is to play as much as possible in as game-like a situation as possible. We like to keep people moving even where you are learning technical skills and we like to emphasize play as part of a sequence (eg you hit after a pass).

How we organise ourselves in training games. 6 back, setting from 2 and no poaching or switching (see linked document)

No tangle way of tying a volleyball net (see linked document)

Understanding the game as consisting of four phases: reset, defence, trigger and attack/cover

This description of one of the forms of defensive systems is heavily based on the EVA Level III course notes. Alternative systems will be discussed later

Volleyball is a technically skilled sport, which is subject to a large number of errors. If you can put pressure on the opposition then you can win points by forcing errors.

Systems of play can be confusing particularly if you've only played one way before. There are other options, but it can prove confusing the first time. The documents below outline most principles of playing systems used.

Beach and 6-a-side use the same types of skill, but use those skills differently. Great beach players don't necessarily make the best indoor players and vice versa.

If you're 7ft tall with a jump like a kangaroo you can just hit any ball and win points. The rest of us with less power and less height have to think about where the right shot might be and how to approach the attack.
