6 Tips How
to Improve Volleyball Skills
#4) How to pick up the passing position on the court? Where to stand?
The passing position on the court should change according the server!
Don’t just stand on the middle of your passing area!
Example
1: Don't chase the ball if you don't have to
You are a passing on the position 1. You know that the opposing server
has the jump serve that has a strong sidespin on the serve and the ball
is curving from inside the court towards right sideline.
If you know that the player is constantly hitting the ball on your
right side closer to the side, you should move there yourself also, so
you don’t have to chase the ball which makes your passing much more
difficult.
If you are brave and the player constantly bombs the sideline, you can
even go and stand right by the side line. Then you are able to wait the
ball to land on your arms, instead of “running” after the curving ball.
Changing your passing position aggressively is your opportunity to
force the player to change their favorite serving style. Force the
server to perform other type of serve, something that s/he is not that
comfortable doing.
You can make server to increase the chance of error when giving hard
time to the server.
Example 2:
Minimize your movement - make your offense easier
If you know a specific player has a habit to serve deep to the back
line, it probably would be a good idea to move few steps back
and moving closer to the backline.
It makes the serve receive less complicated. Also your offense becomes
much easier
when you don't have to move backwards before each approach. You'll
save some energy.
If you feel these tips are "just common sense" - you're
absolutely right. Players need to learn to use that common
sense and modify their game along the match. They
need to take advantage of the patterns they may see on the court.
#5) How to
Improve
Volleyball Skills - Have you ever thought that passers left side could
be weaker than the right side?
This sounds unbelievable, but top volleyball teams keep stats trying to
find out the weak side of the passer. They collect
information to determine which side of the passer they should send the
serves.
Example 1:
Serve the balls to the weak side
If they notice the receiver’s pass is weak on the left side,
then their tactic is to serve the balls on the left side of the player.
If you notice serve receiver struggles on the specific side,
be sure to
send more serves the that side.
You as a passer can use that information to your own benefit
also.
If you know you are struggling when passing on the left side, try to
avoid passing from the left.
Example 2:
As a passer avoid passing from your weak side
Let's assume left is your weak side or opponent has a great server who
hits a powerful serve constantly on the left sideline.
If you are an receiving the ball on the position 4, move close to the
side line, then you don’t need to reach to the left when passing the
ball. You just receive the ball that comes directly to you, or you pass
the ball from your right side.
#6) How to
improve
volleyball skills by changing the passing line up aggressively
Let’s assume there is a player who constantly serves the ball cross the
court to the right side of the court, towards position 1.
Example:
Moving two primary passers to the server's target zone
Why not to make aggressive changes to the line-up and move the
passers to the right, by placing at least two passers to the zone 1
corner to receive the ball.
Give those two passers 30-40 % slice of the court
from the zone 1 corner. Libero can take that rest 60-70%.
This could be one way to break the pattern of the
strong server and force him to serve somewhere else.
Or it would make the passing much easier for those players receiving
the ball; they would not even have to move to the ball.
If the passer on the right happened to be the right side
hitter, you could even release him from passing, if you are sure the
ball lands to the last 30-40% of the court.
One player would be enough to handle that.
Conclusion - How
to
Improve
Volleyball Skills
We could go on and on with these examples, but I am sure those already
gave you the idea how players and coaches can modify their game during
the matches.
Remember, you can apply these "how to improve volleyball skills"
ideas to all areas of
volleyball, not just serve receive.
The point is - first you recognize the pattern what your opponent is
doing, then you adjust your game and change your actions on the court.
