This week's skill is Passing 2.0. Davis covers his fundamentals of serve receive and how he thinks about teaching serve receive to young players. This talk is a more in-depth look at passing, complete with reading, movement, emergency moves, talent evaluation, and much more.

In our scenario segment, we go over an awesome plan that coaches can steal or change to make their own, for a middle-school grade summer volleyball camp. Tod and Davis both love running camps and Tod lays out his best plan for what to do with middle schoolers who want to learn to play volleyball.

We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is from the great Squash coach Paul Assaiante from Trinity College in Connecticut. His book Run To The Roar is about dealing with fear and consequences with resilience, courage, and humility. The motivational and educational nonfiction memoir points out the human nature of striving for excellence and how failure is just as important as success in the realm of sports.

Skill of the Week: Passing 2.0 - more advanced serve receive concepts and skills
Scenario of the week: Summer Camp plan for Middle School age athletes

The VolleyPod is all about coaching kids volleyball! Each episode we cover 3 segments that are each designed to help you become a better volleyball coach. First, we focus on a specific volleyball skill, talk about how to teach it, and provide drills and video links for further help with that skill. Then, we present a common coaching scenario and discuss tips for how to (and how not to) handle it. In the third segment we share a resource that has helped us to become a better coach, with the hopes that it can help you too! See you on the pod!
