It was such a great lesson pack-the tailored feedback really clicked for me, and the drills built my confidence, plus I’m taking away a solid plan. The coach’s communication style really encouraged me and made me feel stronger about my playing. Anticipating another lesson to sharpen my serve soon.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonLesson 1 – Assessment & High-Intensity Fundamentals • Warm-up (15 min): Dynamic stretches, agility ladder, short sprints, and ball-handling drills. • Skill assessment (30 min): Passing, setting, serving, and hitting reps to evaluate each player’s strengths/weaknesses. • Position-specific refresh (30 min): Fast-paced pepper drills, serve receive under pressure, and quick transition hitting. • Game-like drills (15 min): 2v2 with specific goals (e.g., first ball side out).

Lesson 11+Lesson 11+ – High-Level Competitive Training At this stage, training shifts to continuous improvement and competitive simulation. • Warm-up with ball control (10 min). • High-intensity drills (40 min): Rotational systems (5-1 or 4-2), advanced serving strategies, block-defense coordination. • Tactical scrimmage (30 min): 4v4 with real rotations, coaches giving in-game feedback. • Conditioning under pressure (10 min): Quick rallies with sprint penalties for errors to simulate fatigue. • Video analysis & reflection (optional): Review gameplay, decision-making, and strategies.

Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 – Advanced Systems & Tactical Execution Each lesson builds intensity, with a mix of technical focus and tactical application. Core Themes: • Serving: Jump float & jump spin, serving zones, tactical serving. • Blocking & Defense: Reading hitters, swing blocking, digging against power. • Offense: Quick sets (1s, 31s, back row attacks), tempo variations, combination plays. • Decision-making: Playing out-of-system balls, recognizing defensive gaps. Sample Structure (per lesson): • Warm-up (10–15 min): Movement, serving targets. • Skill/tactical focus (30 min): e.g., blocking systems + transition attack. • Pressure drills (30 min): e.g., 2v2 with set scoring conditions, or rally scoring to 10 where errors cost double. • Game application (15–20 min): 4v4 scrimmage with tactical focus (e.g., must run a combination play every third point).

Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 – Serve Receive & Transition Play • Warm-up (10 min): Reaction-based movement and ball control. • Serve receive focus (30 min): Rotational serve receive patterns with pressure (e.g., 3 good passes in a row = success). • Transition drills (30 min): Hit–block–defend–counterattack sequences; quick transitions from defense to offense. • Small-sided games (20 min): 2v2 or 3v1 scenarios emphasizing serve receive and first-ball side outs.

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen working with kids in volleyball, I add up my classes by building each one on top of the last. In the first sessions, I keep it simple and focus on the basics—like passing, serving underhand, and just getting comfortable handling the ball. As they start to feel more confident, I introduce setting, controlled passing, and more consistent serving. As we progress, I add in more advanced skills like hitting approaches, digging, or blocking, and eventually bring in rotations and full game play. The most important part is keeping it fun, structured, and progressive—always tying new skills back to what they’ve already learned so they feel motivated and excited to keep improving.

Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers in volleyball, I add up my classes by challenging them with a faster progression while still reinforcing the fundamentals. I start with a review of basic skills like passing, serving, and setting to make sure the foundation is solid, then quickly move into more advanced techniques such as overhand serving, hitting approaches, and blocking. Once they have those individual skills, I introduce structured team systems like serve-receive formations, offensive plays, and defensive positioning. I also incorporate more competitive drills and full scrimmages so they can apply what they’ve learned in game-like situations. The key with teenagers is keeping practices engaging and competitive while pushing them to improve their consistency, decision-making, and teamwork, so each class builds both their individual skills and their ability to perform as a cohesive team.
