Thanks so much!! My school just this year started a volleyball team and my coach is learning with us. We don’t have many players and we’re honestly pretty bad. I’ve been working on my spike and this is really helpful, I wasn’t sure about where to be on the court and how many steps I should take, but watching this video is helping a lot. Thanks again!!
My natural approach tends to be either left-right-left-right or right-left-right, but I hit with my right hand. While I've successfully executed the correct three-step approach in practice, I struggle to maintain it under pressure and often revert to a less effective method. How can I ensure I consistently end with a right-left sequence?
@CoachChijo Yes, exactly. My footwork is wrong when under pressure. Do I just need more reps? Are there specific drills I can do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
@@Taylor-hq9sr not a coach but a high school hitter- practice your approach often without a ball. You’re in the hallway going to your room? Right left right left. Your bored? Right left right left. You see a net at all? Right left right left. Make sure you jump too. That helped my footwork become more natural and now I hit much better, but it will take some time as with everything. Good luck!
Which type of approach do you currently use or are comfortable using? 3-step 4-step? Are you left or right handed? The following is for right handed hitters… The last 3 steps and most of all the last 2 steps are the most important for timing. The third to last step should be immediately after the ball is set and stepped to the zone. We call this a rhythm step. Then in the next split second you have to “see the ball.” Then your second to last step with your right foot is to the ball. Then close with your last left step. The last two steps are roughly when the set is at the peak height of the set. You’ll need to adjust slightly depending on on the speed of the set, the speed and how fast your approach is and how fast you jump and swing your arm. This is a general guideline.
I'm a right-handed outside hitter, and I've always used the four-step approach. Since your explanation, I've been working on it with my coach in the gym, but I'm still a bit unsure about the timing and how to hit the ball at its peak. Would it be possible for you to create a video demonstrating this?
Some of it is personal preference but also what the hitter is dealing with during the rally. The approach can vary from set to set depending on whether the hitter first had to pass or dig a ball. That determines how much time they have to be available.
can you make a video for helping lefties to hit Outside? I’m a right side and whenever i get put to play outside it’s always so awkward for me whenever i have to hit

Do you mean that under pressure you use the wrong footwork? Unfortunately the natural approach you describe is incorrect for a right handed hitter.

Could you explain the timing for hitting the ball? I’m an outside hitter for my team, but I struggle with getting the timing right.

I'm a middle, when I hit quicks should I go for a 2 step?
I teach 3
This has helped me so much as a middle school player. Tysm! I subbed to watch more of your helpfulness🤍
Happy to help!
Also what's your insta so I can see more on there?
Is 4 step or 3 step approach better? Is the 4 step coming back?

@@CoachChijo for general teaching of middle school age, what would you say would be a good start?

I will try but I just don’t have many leftys coming in for training…
