Hey! A lot we could unpack with this one but without knowing all the circumstances like what level you're playing at, where you're playing (club? HS?) etc. It's hard to give specific advice. Some general advice though as smaller outsides, our job is to kill the in system ball and create opportunity through creative plays. Unless we're really mismatched on the opponent, the OOS against two blocks isn't generally the ball we can power through and kill. This means we need to be smart and learn to create the best opportunity for our team to score in these moments. Whether that be smart tips that can take out the opponents offence, recycle so we get another opportunity or tools so we can score. If you're able to find other opportunities to play a hitting position like open gyms or socials, then you can really build these skills and become effective. Once you've developed those skills, you could try to have an honest conversation with your current coach to see if you can be given a chance or a look at training. It never hurts to ask and be vocal about what you desire! But don't forget, you can't control your coaches decisions but you can always focus on your own development and journey.

Workout recommendations is always a hard one since it's dependent on where you're at in your journey and what you need most! As a general rules of thumb though... You can always benefit from building more springiness and ability to generate force quickly. This can be done through low level plyometrics and rhythm type work, along with strength based work :)

You can still get a lot of benefits training by yourself depending on what level of skill you're at. If you're fairly advanced in a skill then you may need extra equipment to help "emulate" what players could do for you in a game. Like using a rebound board to hit into as a "dig" so you can set a ball. You can also work other skills that you might be fairly undeveloped in alone. The individual work may be quite beneficial if you're not familiar with how certain body positions or processes should feel. Eg. If you usually play in the middle, you don't get to pass often.

Haha in Australia, our high school volleyball scene isn't as big. For the majority of players, their main funnel for volleyball is club. Similar to how America has USA Volleyball offering competition for volleyball clubs like Bay to Bay etc. however the Australian format is generally a whole season and weekly games etc.

@@CourtsideWithChappy ohh I thought u meant like adult volleyball clubs

Ahhh in Australia we also offer clubs to adults too! There are no age restrictions for some competitions and they're only done by skill divisions.

I'm glad it helped you. We'll all get there, one day at a time :)

Thank you! That's really nice to hear. 🥹 Definitely motivated to make more videos!

Great idea! I'll take a look into it :)

Probably get a coach

My best advice would be to watch and consume a lot of volleyball. See how the better players around you move and play. Then think about how you might emulate that and how it might feel for you, then attempt to emulate something similar and be really in tune with how it feels in your body. My other videos briefly touch on this learning process but I'll drop a specific one in the future!

Try pylometrics for higher jump

This is a good call out! And definitely some parallels to what I'm speaking about. I might add this one to my list for a future video :)

Accessibility is always a tricky one! I'd say maybe even try get your friends to start playing or see if you can get some play in a different format. Depending on where you live, you can look at beach or grass volleyball. Play 2v2s instead of 6v6 indoor etc. Although they won't be 100% like the indoor game, your skills will still develop and transfer as a player as long as you've got a net :)

Will add this topic to the list!

@@themoyuman5176 Thank you, that means a lot to me !! I'm glad you enjoyed it, look forward to new content :)

@@Lujuni there's a variety of things that can cause drops in discipline in a game so it's a little hard to give advice without knowing the team. As a general theme, you want to focus on developing trust and structure in a team. You need to stick to that structure even if you guys lose points in the interim to hold the structure together. Below are some tips that can help: - Establish roles and responsibilities (who should take what and when) - Hold each other accountable to the above (even if it means you let the ball hit the floor and you lose the point) - Don't be afraid to communicate with each other if you feel something isn't working rather than trying to make solo adjustments.

@@CourtsideWithChappy thx❤️❤️

good luck! it's a matter of communication and trust, like the coach said

@@ianborgessampaio4740 🏆 - for you ! :)

I'm glad it helped! We can't always have a great game, there are times when I cannot pass a single ball to save my life and that's ok. We don't always perform at 100% :)

Haha thanks 😂

I'm actually Australian! But some of it might sound similar :)

Appreciate it! :)

These are the type of questions I had when I started and wish I knew! So just sharing my learnings over the years and hoping it lets other people have a head start. I'm sure you'll have an amazing season and get to set if you keep working hard! :)

Thank you so much! I'm keen to keep sharing knowledge with all ❤️
