Hello- I have coached 7th grade for 4 years now. A great drill I like to use is to get some poly spot markers. Pair the girls off, and have them stand about 10 feet apart, facing each other. Have one girl underhand toss the ball to the other girl (who is standing in her ready position). Have the girl passing put the poly spot on her back. This will teach them to keep the shoulders over their knees, but their eye on the ball, and how to move in a controlled motion- this is because they cannot let the poly spot fall of their back. For however many times the marker falls off their back, that’s how many sprints they have.

I am coaching 6th, 7th and 8th grade girl’s volleyball and I read your comments and appreciated knowing these points for practices. Do you know of a book or website for beginning drills that can progress over the season as they improve? Also I need to brush up on how to teach the skills better. Is there a coach’s clinic or camp your could suggest for me to attend next summer? Thanks, Nancy
