Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on building comfort, confidence, and a strong technical foundation. I start by assessing the athlete’s current skill level through simple movement and ball-control drills. We break down proper platform positioning, hand contact, footwork, and overall body control. I emphasize repetition with correction while keeping the session fun and encouraging. Foundational drills may include wall passing, self-toss passing, controlled partner pepper, and footwork patterns without the ball. The goal of the first lesson is to establish correct mechanics and set clear development goals moving forward.
Lesson 11+Beyond lesson ten, training becomes highly individualized and performance-focused. We refine advanced techniques, improve consistency at game speed, and prepare athletes for club, school, or competitive play. Sessions include high-intensity, position-specific drills, situational gameplay, and mental performance strategies. The focus shifts toward mastering details, increasing efficiency, and developing leadership and composure on the court. Each session is tailored to the athlete’s goals and long-term development.
Lesson 4-10During this phase, we transition from foundational skills to game application. Athletes will work on positional responsibilities, offensive systems, and defensive reads. For setters, we focus on tempo, distribution, and reading blockers. For hitters and defenders, we develop approach timing, shot selection, and transition work. Drills become more dynamic and high-rep, including live serve-receive, out-of-system play, and competitive scoring scenarios. Confidence, volleyball IQ, and decision-making under pressure are heavily emphasized.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three build consistency and control. We begin incorporating movement with passing and setting, focusing on reading the ball and reacting efficiently. I introduce serve-receive fundamentals, controlled serving mechanics, and game-like tempo drills. Athletes can expect more structured repetition, competitive mini-games, and situational reps that improve decision-making. At this stage, we start emphasizing court awareness and communication while continuing to refine technique.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first session is a high-level evaluation tailored to the athlete’s position and specific goals. Whether they’re a setter, hitter, libero, or middle, I assess technical consistency, decision-making, tempo, defensive reads, and transition efficiency within their role. We train at game speed to identify small details that separate good from elite. From there, I create a customized development plan based on what they want to improve, whether that’s tempo control, shot selection, serve placement, defensive range, or leadership on court.
Lesson 11+At this stage, training is fully individualized. We refine micro-details specific to their position, tempo adjustments, hand positioning, blocking reads, serve strategy, transition speed, and opponent tendencies. The focus shifts from skill development to mastery and dominance within their role. Every rep is intentional, and sessions are designed to prepare them for collegiate, professional, or international competition.
Lesson 4-10Training becomes highly detailed and performance driven. Each session is structured around the athlete’s position specific demands and long term goals. We simulate match pressure, late-game situations, broken plays, and high stress rotations. Emphasis is placed on efficiency, communication, emotional control, and executing their role at an elite standard. Adjustments are constantly made based on progress and performance trends.
Lesson 2-3These sessions are built specifically around the athlete’s position and improvement goals. Setters may focus on tempo variation, reading blockers, deception, and out-of-system distribution. Hitters refine approach efficiency, range of shots, seam recognition, and transition scoring. Liberos and defenders work on platform angles, serve-receive precision, and reading attacker tendencies. Drills are competitive and situational, wash games, serve-and-score, first-ball sideout, and all designed to challenge volleyball IQ and consistency under pressure.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on building strong fundamentals in a fun, encouraging, and confidence-driven environment. I break skills down into simple, easy-to-understand steps and use creative drills that keep them engaged while reinforcing proper technique. We prioritize body control, footwork, platform positioning, and hand contact before increasing difficulty. Sessions are high-energy, positive, and structured to help young athletes fall in love with the game while developing correct habits from the start.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, training becomes more structured and performance-focused while still maintaining a supportive environment. I tailor sessions to their position and individual goals, whether they’re preparing for school, club, or recruiting opportunities. We emphasize consistency, volleyball IQ, decision-making, and confidence under pressure. Drills are competitive, game-like, and designed to challenge them mentally and physically. I also focus on leadership, communication, and building habits that translate directly into match performance.
