Description

How can our newest, youngest players actually play volleyball without the mayhem and craziness?
On this episode of The VolleyPod, Tod and Davis talk about an awesome process for getting young players to play volleyball over the net without mayhem. Then they discuss a common scenario for coaches: winning when the team does not have a "true" setter. They also share another curated resource for coaches, Above the Line, by football coach Urban Meyer.  In addition, they share 3 helpful drills from The Art of Coaching Volleyball library that coaches can learn from and get their players playing volleyball younger and loving the game sooner!
