Question

How do you teach someone to play volleyball?

Answer 1

From my own experience, its better if you start from the basics. You should teach him/her how to place your hands properly and bend up and down properly. Then teach him how to serve the ball and how to dig the ball.

Setting is usually the last one to be taught, it happens when you learn the basics first. Striking is one of the last ones to be taught, its better if you let the person choose how the ball if going to be struck~ Defending a strike or the first ball is also important, but its usually done after you teach the person how to strike/set~

Answer 2

I agree with most of the people above, but you have to have patient that is probably the number one aspect of it.

Answer 3

Start from the basics. Teach them how to serve a ball, how to set it, and how to under-hand it. Show them with your hands, how you are supposed to hit the ball when it comes for them. Then have them practice those routines over and over again. Before an actual game, it all starts with practicing all the different ways of hitting a volleyball.

Answer 4

Put a team together and teach them fundamentals.

You can also try USYVL (http://www.usyvl.org) and see whether you can put that "someone" into the league. It is really an entertainment-based league for all beginning to intermediate players. My boy started there, and I grabbed some coaching experience with his team :).

Answer 5

First, I'll tell you what you SHOULDN'T do. Don't obviously favorite your players, tell your players to be "smart" if you know they're capable of doing more,do too much scrimmaging during practice, or show your players a technique without explaining it. What you SHOULD do is start practice with the basics, have the players do a few reps with you while you're explaining a new technique, have them practice for a while, and the do some one-on-one work.

Answer 6

well volleyball is a fun sport but it also takes awhile to be taught.

the first thing you should teach them is the rules, boundaries, ROTATIONS, that kinda thing.

then teach them passing and serviner, as they are the key tactics to winning a volleyball game.

next teach them setting/over head passing and then finally

hitting/blocking.

the best way to really learn and grow a love for the game is going to camps though.
