I've found this resource invaluable and of huge benefit to both my players and myself. Thanks for helping me to improve my coaching.
I am a 25-year old male and I have just been named the girls volleyball coach at a local middle school. Anyone have any good tips? Not just volleyball strategy, but how to deal with middle school girls? Thanks everyone. submitted by email

I have to start a training program for youths so do I need to get a training schedule?
I'd love to see what people out there plan for practices. Anyone else interested? Not sure where the best place would be to post stuff like that. I have a bunch of drills I sketched and made public, but no way to do the same with practice plans.Here is a two-part practice where I plan to perform evaluations of my team over the first two days of full practice. I will use the information I gather in those two practices to plan the next several practice sessions and maybe some themes for the year.http://www.sportplan.net/drills/OPS.do?id=1242486912_-11754752http://www.sportplan.net/drills/OPS.do?id=1242486912_250419968Feel free to take a look and give advice or share back!Thanks!Harry
My daughter is in 8th grade and has made the team this year as she did last. We have a new coach this year who doesn't allow the girls to use their knee pads. What is the purpose of this? Does it help at all with development of the sport? It seems sadistic to me and I can't understand how causing the girls pain will help them to "dig" a ball or encourage them to dive for anything. Thank you

I'm preparing for next season with some off season session plans for my team. I will probably have a 2 hour slot to look at new players for the season. There will be players of all abilities so my question is ... What are some of the recommended approaches to evaluating these new recruits? I can run then through an actual training session and see if they can handle it but I don't want to discourage players from coming out. Also just to make things a little more interesting it will be a coed session. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just wondered if anyone has any tips for working with short players (they can't get their hands over the net) - especially when the opposition is attacking. I am used to playing in a men's team with at least two blockers, but now coaching the girls U17 team and it dawned on me that they can't reach over the net...My middle hitter is usually tall enough, but none of the others on the front line are.
