Need some volleyball help...?

Question

I'm going to be helping a young girl with slight autism learn how to play volleyball. I'm used to helping kids in groups and not so much in a one on one setting, any hint/tips/tricks would be wonderful!

Answer 1

Just teach her the basics you dont really need to do any drills as there arent really any drills for just one person.  just teach her the technique in a gradual way first without a ball and the work up to using the ball.  all she should do is have you toss her the ball and she will pass/set it to you.  you cann also teach her how to hit by starting with the basic aproach and leading up to you tossing the ball and her hitting it.  i know i dont need to say this but make sure she is do the technique the right way first before introducing the ball at all. well i hope you two have fun and Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hey,

of course, the first steps to learn volleyball you can learn her by herself. Por example it´s important that she learns a good receiving the ball, a good service and the correct run-up for the jumps to the block or for the smashes. All these are things to learn that she can play volleyball later in a team.

I learned it by myself. In my fathers garden there was a big wall from our garage. I used it every day and so I learned more and more the feelings for the ball. Hope this help you a little. Sorry for my english but I try to learn it!!! Good luck with the girl!!!!

Answer 3

I know many people that have cases of autism, the only thing i can recommend is be patient.  It may take them a while to understand the concept of what you are trying to help them with.

Answer 4

You can toss the ball to her and work on the individual skills.  Until you can serve at her and spike at her.  Instead of coaching a group where the coach does not get involved, you will need to be part of every drill except serving since it will just be the two of you.

Answer 5

Wow, that great that you are doing this

well you can start off by teaching them the starter poses (bump, spike, etc) and how to work as a team
