This setter is easily my favorite one thus far. He's really good. Looking forward to the next tournament you guys enter with your entire roster in tow.
One of the greatest 3 game sets I've seen on this channel, thrilling until the very end. 4-4 start is overthinking it on the organizers part. Just play the games to 21 so there's no confusion, simple enough.
Damn the last point of the second match was crazy. Good shit from everyone involved. Too bad about that no touch on the block and libero set play though. Really weird
I understand why volleyball matches for TV are filmed from the side, but omg this filming angle is so much better I can see everything and it literally makes me feel like Im there. I verbally celebrated when y'all scored points
Overall I would say that the decision to start at four points in this tournament was flawed, in theory it would just speed up matches... But in practice it seemed to cause more confusion than it was worth. As far as I can tell in the last set even though the game started at four points it looks as if they just played it as a regular 15 point set without the four point head start.
It would have been a lot more practical and logical to start at 0-0 and play until 21. The last game they played both teams didn't realise that both sets were started at 0-0 instead of 4-4, probably because they don't really check the score in the early portions of the set. But since it's highly more probable that at least someone on the court will check the score when the set is nearing its end, even in case the scorekeeper maybe isn't informed that the set is played to 21, the players would realise and stop playing.
Yeah it's a really weird system. In the area I play, whenever tournaments/leagues want to speed things up they play to 21. A little more straight forward on my opinion
Wow I’m sorry that after all the bad calls and you guys winning in regulation it was still taken away from poor scorekeeping. Great job keep up the improvement
Everything about this tournament seems like it's lacking competence... What's up with the scores? Who is in charge of that? What's up with the bad calls? It's embarrassing, great effort coach
You know it's a joke about the score right? lol...It starts at 4-4 because of time. Have you never played in a tournament when the score starts not at 0-0? lmao. You lack competence and it shows.
That play where the libero sets was legal because at the moment of the attack, some part of the ball was at the same level with the top tape of the net.
Rough start on D. First half a lot of tips fell on your side, but you guys really picked it up the end of set 2 and 3. Great effort. That was a really good team you guys played
i've been noticing from the past games, the guy with the beard and long hair is really good. he has a good spatial awareness since he knows where to tap the ball!!
Love how youre wearing a mask the entire time! Great hustle, wish the tall lefty with the grey short sleeve on played with more hustle! So many balls in the third set he couldve easily made a move to get! GG
I'm not sure if there is a separate rule in this specific tournament, but my understanding of the rules is that if a libero uses their hands in the front row, then nobody in the front row can jump and swing, but since the attacker was already in the back row, then it was ok for him to jump and swing normally. (At 22:30). I think that's the case but I'm not certain.
@Coach i think i know what happened with the score. in the playoffs, all teams started at 0-0 (and not 4-4 as in the pool play). in one of your previous videos one of the scorekeepers can be seen starting each set at 0-0. so 1st set ended 20-23 2nd set: 23-21 (did u guys play until 23?!) 3rd set: 16-18 (no team was up by more than one point since 14-14)
Man! That was a TOUGH game! That first set you didn't exactly play bad, the other team was always just one step ahead, the second set was insane! Especially that last point. The third set was also intense. Great ending to a great match, its just a shame you guys couldn't get the win. The other team played great though.
great Pancake!!! and the Asahi-look-alike with the smart Push - looks kind of familar with some Crows we know ;) Nice Recieve, Coach!!! 18:53 thats for sure Nishinoya like - great Job
Good hustle coach! I think everyone just went on fire defensively and offensively after that second set finisher🔥🔥 Really a shame that the other ref looked like he barely cared and the scores were messed up. You guys still played quality volleyball though 💪💪
Can you clarify the libero setting rule? As far as I understand the libero must stay grounded if he wants to set in front of the 10ft line. Does that mean both feet or one foot has to stay on the ground? It seems part of the libero’s feet was still touching the ground in this clip.
Both of you were incorrect. A libero can hand set from anywhere inside the court, but he cannot contact, in any way, the ball while it is completely above the net, for it to cross to the opponent’s side. If the libero hand sets inside the front zone, another player cannot attack the ball from anywhere if the ball is completely above the net.
I've noticed that your setter didn't match the set more often for the middle blockers. That's why it looks like the offense is more predictable. Is that a new setter to your team?
Hi Donny lately I've been thinking of trying to go pro/semi pro in volleyball but everyone seems to think that it's too late for me to get to that level(I'm 15 and a half y/o) but I'm still trying to make it... I've watched most of your training videos and they've helped so so much I'm putting 6+ hours a day to training an working out for volleyball so I wanted to know from an actual coach if it is too late for me to make it to the pros/semi pros? ty for all the help you've already given me.
It's weird for me to see that you guys set as a receive from a serve. When I was playing in the olden days, we hardly ever received a serve with a set receive.
By any chance does anybody know where we can stream/watch here in the US, the Asian men’s volleyball championship that’s going to start in like 2 days??
Question: at 14:48, why does the setter go to the left front? Wouldn't you lose a hitter by doing that? Since both of the lefty hitters are on the right side now. Just genuinely curious
I was wondering this too. I'm guessing they want the lefty hitting from the right as he's more comfortable there and they might need a bigger block for that particular rotation. They dont really lose a hitter as they can still utilize 2 middles (front + pipe) and two on the right side (D + 3D). I would've probably sent the middle to hit on the outside to split the blockers a bit but he might not be comfortable doing that
This setter is easily my favorite one thus far. He's really good. Looking forward to the next tournament you guys enter with your entire roster in tow.
That setter is money!
I believe he Played for the Berkeley Club team. Played against him. They ran a 6-2
I love the hustle by your setter. Dude leaves everything on the court.
fr he's amazing
Their team all in uniforms while you guys look like some friends just hanging out playing some volleyball
No need uniforms. Play together as a team is good enough.
@@volleyballislife7187 the most minimalist response I've ever seen
setter for tall ones is insane 21:08, great match
Most of his backsets are incredible.
how the fuck are they so accurate, it's insane
Nah because he had another great backset in the same play just a few seconds before too. Crazy.
Absolutely ridiculous set
Ooooh if I'm not mistaken, that's Josh and Klay on the other team.
Playing against old teammates always adds an extra layer of competition!
Jason (#8) too!

Awesome to see The Spiking Viking rocking the Elevate merch
What a perfect set for the backrow hitter @coachdonny for the last point in the 2nd set ! In a rush and with only one hand. Congrats !
I love how you provide the occasional replay on your fails as well. And your long haired opposite has got a smoooth swing.
I'm Brazilian and like much your videos, I learn lot, congratulations for a work
your team's setter is good and find it cute how he plays and the headband got me more

@@zackd2852 bruh
Remember when Coach said that when Asahi did that move of a turnaround spike from far back in the court that that never happens? Well... 17:34
Coaches' save before that spike was similar to tanaka's save. What a rally.
Asahi ran back and this player "side steped" to the ball
That was such an epic way to end the set
@@Abahable ya there's a difference for sure, just goofing a bit =]
@@wonderseven9248 really was! I was pumped
The ending of set 2 was wild! Persistence and hustle!
17:45 what a play from him, jumping in front the the libero! And right into the corner too :D
Nice to see former tall ones player showing on this channel again!
Pog new coach video, i wish you the best luck for your next games:) and btw your content is amazing:3
great match to both teams! it was close and stressful for every moment
20:27 Poetic justice how Chris sends it right back to #22 after that BS no touch call
That play where the libero sets was legal because at the moment of the attack, some part of the ball was at the same level with the top tape of the net.

I find these match play videos really helpful. keep up the good work thanks

Brilliant as always, got my sixth form trials soon, started playing a month ago after playing basketball for 3/4 years
Good luck! I never had a sixth form club so I'm really jealous.
Dang man every video you seem to be jumping higher I love it
The last point on the second set was legendary
amazing setter!! great sets all around guys
@Coach i think i know what happened with the score.
in the playoffs, all teams started at 0-0 (and not 4-4 as in the pool play). in one of your previous videos one of the scorekeepers can be seen starting each set at 0-0.
so 1st set ended 20-23
2nd set: 23-21 (did u guys play until 23?!)
3rd set: 16-18 (no team was up by more than one point since 14-14)

That last shot 27th was epic. Fucken ey loved it boys. Got me all pumped now

Wow what a intense match it was really enjoyed it
I really enjoyed the game,keep on with such content

Your setter is amazing!
21:08 broke his back for that beautiful back set
Yay, we get to see the other side of the court
that setter's techinique is CLEAN
You guys technically won and that was a great game
shoutout to coach Donny for going up for three hits in a row around 10:07. he goes hard for sure.
For those who have been wondering/asking, "where's Josh?" Or Clay, or Jason. :)
1:35 that jump float tho
really nice defensive hustle there!!
Such an amazing match but the referees were unfair on some points let's hope next year this tournament has a better organisation. Great match guys!!
pov, when jake the Viking plays volleyball

its like a whole tall ones reunion
