I'M IN A MCKIBBIN VIDEO. I'm dead. Also, this explanation is so perfect. And I hope all your subscribers tune in tonight! The first game is on RUclips, so no excuses not to watch 😋 You guys, let me know what you want me to ask Riley if I can get him on the sideline #CiCam again!!!!
I'm here living for Ci Michel commenting on McKibbin's video. Ci Michel is EVERYWHERE
Bro a men league would be dope, I think it could increase the love of the sport because here in America volleyball isnt as popular like basketball or soccer
i hate how underrated volleyball is in america man 😖
There is semi-pro league. It basically consists of former D1 players, former pro players abroad, and just really good players that didnt make D1 or pro.
Check out the NVA! I just started playing in it!
@@themckibbinbrothers Have you checked out the NVA?
Don’t get me wrong I love the idea and having a new system put together in the US. But when I watch those games I sometimes get the vibes of an “open gym” instead of a competitive match. Yes, every athlete gives 100%, but I miss the anger during timeouts or a coach being mad at the side of the court because the players don’t follow the game plan.
this is veery beneficial though if any players decide to play over seas, they will have the presence of mind to not only listen to their coaches but be REAL leaders out there on the court and make sure the team is playing together, always communicating, etc. I love that this format gives more power to the players, it’s more pressure on them.
Where can we watch the games?? :O
I absolutely love watching AU and it's format keeps the game interesting! Personally I would pick a setter first then libero because you need a leader on offense and defense to run a well balanced game. But it also depends on what position in the draft I'm choosing bc power hitters with good defense can arguably be a great 2nd choice if available. Side note: I hate that 1 setting error is -12, the setting scores don't really balance out to make them as competitive to be on the top of the leader board.
AU (along with your channel!) is CRIMINALLY under appreciated. I was just watching the AU live stream the other day and was thinking about how good the production value is, the level of play, etc. I don't know how the stands aren't packed with fans! I really hope more people start to watch it soon because it is such a great thing.
How do I find this? I would love to watch but don't know how. :(
@@dwpetrak they have a RUclips channel! Just look up "athletes Unlimited volleyball"
The production value is really great but sports wise it's just weird, why not just go along with the regular rules?
@@mariana6557 lol because it's a fun format and on top of it being already high level play, it adds an extra fun element to it that doesn't really take away from the format. I play in some local tournaments where I live (the Cleveland area in Ohio) and we have scramble tournaments like this all the time. They're super popular and fun
@@RoyalsRP I agree that it is a fun league, but it doesn't feel like a professional one
Watching this on April 1st, my first thought was 'these McKibbins have invested waaaaay to much time in this elaborate prank'........😂
Love this explanation! AU should be an official McKibbin Brothers sponsor 😂
I'm gonna be completely honest: while I'm always open to new ideas for our sport, this seems like the most complex format possible.
Volley nerds will love it. The casual fan won't have a clue what is going on.
@@themckibbinbrothers You did a good job of explaining volley quantum physics XD
I agree. Been playing volleyball for years, but I was still kinda confused with the idea here. I guess you kinda need a complex, and completely new idea to make it enticing to watch.
You guys should do a breakdown on different salaries/earnings around the world with all the different leagues. I've always been curious how it all works
Most important question : was there a gym there? Great vid as always Bros!
Is there a good place to watch all games?
Other fantasy sports players punching air right now wanting to be as cool as us volleyball players
:)

I think it's an interesting format, but I don't think this is the best way to go for growing the game. With sports being the way they are it's much easier to follow a team with a 'brand name' behind it that carries weight like Perugia or Modena than individual players. the scoring system is also hard to track in game, so it's hard to care when it pops up at the end.
Agreed, volleyball is much better the way it's played now than au's way. Amazing how Americans can turn a team event into an individual one 😅
Setter is definitely #1 - controls the ENTIRE game, Get a Solid middle - the difference between a good middle and a decent middle is EXTREME, I would go Oppo next for blocking purposes against OH - where most of the sets go, so stopping them from pounding every ball is important.. THEN 2 consistent aggessive OH's - then feed liberos. There are a million top-tier liberos. That's my take!!!
I think OH, OPPO, Setter, Middle, Libero is the standart preferation in pro volleyball 🤔
@@raiky3259 I guess it really depends on the level at each position really!
Is there a good place to watch all of the games and drafts? Sounds super cool!
Strat in terms of priority:
1. Setter
2. Middle
3. Libero
4. Outside
5. Opposite
Focus the team around a defensive shut down lineup on both blocking and receiving. Setter gets priority because a good setter can bring out the best in the priority 4-5 outside/opposite.
Don't like the individual point system, it may bring unhealthy competition within the team, in the end, volleyball is about team performance
Just bought some and tagged you as the referrer. Thanks for letting me know about AG!
I love watching them play! The level is high and the camaraderie is professional. Love seeing all the ex Pac12 players slug out to their best.
Yeeeeeeee
Why does the US always have to do some wierd shit with crazy rules in volleyball like damn what's wrong with regular volleyball? Good enough for the rest of the world. Nothing personal and great vid as always, but i really think it's stupid
If I was Carli I would draft Hentz first then the best of the rest
I would say order would be 1. libero 2. Hitter 3. Set 4. Middle blocker
@@themckibbinbrothers best offense is a good defense right? If you have a good libero who can be a leader,make those crucial defensive reads and digs to get the team fired up it can be a game changer.

This is freaking cool. Will there be a league for men as well?
I LOVE this idea of volleyball
What channel do they air this on? ESPN 8 the ocho?
From my perspective how I would draft. I would choose setters first because they're really vital to the tempo of the game. A team with an special setter can bring out the best of the abilities for any player, even including liberos. I would then draft libero 2nd as you need the anchor of the team. Many times liberos get overlooked because they come in and out but they're one of the most important roles in the team. Having a great defensive player is like having a vortex effect. Your teammates actually play around you lol. The ball always somehow gets to the libero for some off reason. Next I will go into hitters, depending on what is left of the choices, I would go for a player with high hitting IQ. Clearly at this level everyone is a powerhouse hitter, some may be more powerful or "better" at hitting. But having a smart hitter creates options. In combination with a high IQ setter and high IQ hitter, it creates double the attack openings. As for me, having a middle is extremely important but I would choose it last because a good setter brings out a good middle lol. I personal value strong defense, of course your offense has to be there to finish the point. But in the end at this level, its who makes less mistakes. Unless, you have a Prime Giba or Prime Clay Stanley whose unstoppable. Its rare to run into that lol.
Don't forget chemistry. With this format the captain, if she wants, gets to choose the players that they play well with. Drews stacked her team with strong net players in week 3 which should work as a strategy. Sheilla wanted to pair up with Nootsara and that worked out well also.
It's also nice to have a strong block.
I was unfamiliar with the format but thanks to this vid I’ll definitely give AU another watch again 😊
OMG I missed this video two weeks ago. This is incredible. I like new things, new formats, new ideas and people who makes an impact. As usual you did it, fratello, good on you.
Pick..... setter, libero, middle.
Fantastic quality content, thanks Riley
Defense wins championships and chemistry is everything
Awesome guys, thanks for the explained the and the great videos!
Would love to take the AG1 deal but your link is dead - go fix it asap pls :)
This is so cool
Where can you watch the league if you're in Europe? It sounds amazing, hoping this will take off!
I'm all for change in sports, I mean as a volleyball/beachvolley player you're used to rules/competition format changing and inventions coming along like the king of the court series in beach. But this ain't it for me. What is the long-term connector of this game? Or is it only a short-term project to get people interested and then create a full season pro league with the normal rules? How on earth will you remember all the ways a player can score points? Are you even watching for the volleyball then? Doesn't the highlighted individual scoring take away from the fact that it's a team sport?
I'm just confused. I don't think volleyball needs to be gamified like this.
That’s sick ! Your put in Dallas now we practice out at Texas image on Thursdays you should check it out !
Hi. QQ. Is AG a substitute for a daily vitamin or no?
I would go Libero, Middle, Right-side; then the rest.
As long as you have the best passing libero, a great blocker who’s controlled and a killer on the right, you’re set to go 90% of the time.
Any pro setter can use those tools and most pro outsides are either powerful or crafty (meaning you could get either thing and still work) while passing at least average.
Do you find that certain positions are more heavily point favored than others? For example, a LIB wouldn't be hitting, so some of those high value points wouldn't be available to them. And if teams are smart, they wouldn't serve or hit to the LIB reducing their touches. Been watching these since they're on RUclips and it's been interesting to see the mix of players and how they have to gel with new teammates each week.
Reminds me a lot of V League All star matches in Japan!
I would pick a setter and libero first or second round as their negative points could add up quickly
dope
Shooting for this Saturday to come watch!
So a Team captain could Choose an opponent player and then dont let her play so sehe couldnt geht points ? I dont hope this will Happen
This better be a spark for people to watch more volleyball
Thanks for the breakdown! This is so cool.
Absolutely love it. As a coach/director especially. This is where it's at.
I may have missed it but where can we watch and vote?
I’ve been wondering this!
LOL that was very interesting
this is extremely awesome
This is so sick, how can I watch??
Quality content 💯💯💯
Lets gooooooo!
Sandbar?
lauren stirvirns and morgan hentz as always
@@themckibbinbrothers wait you’re kidding i’ll scream
I wish I could come out and watch you play
@@themckibbinbrothers I sure will try too
Are the numbers fair for the setter?
@@themckibbinbrothers the better you set, your hitter gets 12, you get 1. Offense usually revolves around 1 or 2 attackers like Taylor Crabb in College.
A fair number would probably be 2 or 3 points per assist
I didn't even realize this league existed. But I love the format. Sounds very interesting.
So where do I go to be able to watch them play? Is it just youtube?
