For all coaches, it is common to look in various places for
volleyball drills. Drills can be found on the internet, in books, or
even in the heads of other coaches. There are advantages to using drills
created by other people. Foremost on the list of reasons to use them is
that these volleyball drills have been used by people for a while now,
so have been proven to be successful. Of course there is a downside to
this approach: what works for one coach may not work for you. That is
where developing your own volleyball drills comes into play.
The
best way to develop your own volleyball drills is to start by using the
drills that other coaches are using. It has already been mentioned that
they may not work for you, however you may find that they do work.
These are drills that coaches use around the world in some cases. This
is also a good place to start your team drilling, so you can see what
they can handle, and how they play. Using established volleyball drills
is the perfect way to start off a new team.
As you are working with your team, take note of what works in the volleyball drills you have gotten from other sources, and more importantly, what doesn't work. You can then start taking these established drilling routines and tear them down. Eliminate the things that don't work. Why work on a drill that works on a pass to the outside when you are going to be passing to the weak side? Change that existing drill to something that will benefit your team the most. This is the best intermediate step in developing your own drills from scratch. You can get a feel for how a drill is created by slowly modifying existing volleyball drills and customizing them for your team.
You are now ready to take the final step in creating your own volleyball drills. This can be tricky, but because you started by modifying other drills, you know exactly what you want them to look like. What you are going to want to do is first decide what you want the final result to be. Do you want it to look like a play or simply work out certain skills? The next part is to analyze that end result and decide how you want to get there. Is it going to be an individual or team drill? Do players have to run to start the drill, or is it going to be a standing jump start? The possibilities are fairly endless. As you analyze the parts, figure out how you can fit the parts together to create a streamlined drill. The basic spike drill involves the pieces of a spike, combined together to create a fluid motion. You want the drill to flow from one piece to the next in order to keep a good rhythm with practice. The final step when looking at your volleyball drills is to test it out. You want to be sure that the drill offers a challenge to your team without being too hard. Once it passes this test, you can pat yourself on the back for creating your own drill.
If you want to have a winning team, it can be extremely rewarding to develop your own volleyball drills. This way you can create drills that work for your team, and play to your team's strengths. You are the person who is able to tell, what kinds of drills will work, and what kinds won't. Development of your own volleyball drills is the best way to take a team from good to great, and can offer its own rewards.
