Important Points:
Men’s Game:
- The statistics revealed that the worst thing you could do in volleyball in the men’s game was to miss the serve.
- The second worst thing you could do was serve a ball that the opponent passed perfectly.
- The third worst thing you could do was to serve a ball that the opponent passed “okay” (a 2-point pass)
- and the fourth worst thing was an attacking error.
Important Verbal Cues Share in This Video:
- Worst thing you can do in men’s volleyball: 1 – Miss serve, 2 – Lollipop serve, 3 – Semi lollipop serve, 4 – Spike Out
- Hips for power – Hips rotate around and axis
- On the toss – Tossing arm straight – No moving parts
- Toss ball in front of hitting shoulder
- Less is more
We often will add additional verbal cues. We tend to have 20-30 cues per skill. I know that sounds like allot however this includes cues for “Getting in the Zone,” “Reading the Game,” and “Slowing the Ball Down.”
