3 INTRODUCTION

4 A Letter to Parents Dear Parents, I want to welcome you to the California Blue Volleyball Club and discuss some of my ideas about learning, playing and competing in the sport of volleyball. Playing sports is about having fun and having fun is exactly what we do while teaching your athlete how to play the game of volleyball the right way. Your child is about to experience that special something that can only be achieved by being part of a team. On California Blue teams we foster an environment where CHARACTER COUNTS! We use the six pillars of character to foster an environment of TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, FAIRNESS, CARING, and CITIZENSHIP. The coaching staff for California Blue model these six pillars of character through example and hard work while striving for victory at every tournament. Our entire staff recognizes the dignity and value of everyone we come in contact with and we endeavor to help our athletes learn and become better players by using sound educational principles and training techniques. Volleyball is a simple game. It is all about the pass, set, and attack. When a team is able to perform these very important skills efficiently and effectively, during every point, the game is indeed simple. We will focus 50% to 55% of every practice teaching these skills while also working on tactics and technique. As parents you have an important part to play in the success of your athlete by supporting the efforts of the team and its coaches. Please support us in our efforts to make your child athlete the best player with the most character. Remember: CHARACTER COUNTS! Welcome to the team... GO BLUE! Michael Del Homme Head Coach California Blue Volleyball Club 4

5 California Blue Volleyball Club The California Blue Volleyball Club (California Blue VBC) is affiliated with the Southern California Volleyball Association (SCVA) and USA Volleyball (USAV), and offers the opportunity for volleyball players to participate in an organized schedule of tournament play on many levels of teams. The California Blue VBC strives to teach the fundamentals of the sport of volleyball and to develop the skills necessary for volleyball players to succeed and compete at the highest level. We believe training as complete volleyball players, as opposed to position players, gives young athletes the best understanding of the game and the most knowledge of the sport. We understand that coaching is teaching, so we work hard to instill the values necessary for athletes to succeed on and off the court. The California Blue VBC practices a zero tolerance policy. Any player in possession of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco during any club event, including clinics, gatherings, practices, tournaments or other venues will be off the team. 5

7 Player Guidelines Each player must be willing and able to play a role for the benefit of the team. At various times players may be asked to take on a new, more expansive, or specialized role. It is up to the coach to evaluate players and determine that role. Players must be open-minded, willing to improve and ready to try new approaches to learning and further developing their volleyball skills. Players are expected to participate fully and give 100% effort during practice and tournaments. Players cell phones and other electronic devices are to be off and put away during practice, games, and team meetings. Phones may be used for emergencies only. Players are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and respect all teammates, players, opponents, parents, coaches or officials during any California Blue VBC clinics, gatherings, practices, tournaments or other venues. Players are expected to exhibit qualities highly regarded in sport, such as fairness, generosity, observance of the rules, respect for one s opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing. Players are considered to be representing the California Blue VBC at all times, including any clinics, gatherings, practices, tournaments or other venues. Players are required to participate in officiating by keeping score and performing line judge duties. Players are not permitted to leave a tournament site until all responsibilities are fulfilled, unless excused by their coach. 7

8 Parent or Guardian Guidelines Parents, guardians and their guests are invited and welcome to attend all California Blue VBC clinics, gatherings, practices, tournaments or other venues. Parents, guardians and their guests are not allowed on the playing surface during practice or tournament play per USAV bylaws. Parents or guardians are required to inform the coach when their child is leaving a practice or tournament site. Advance notification is required if a player is to leave a practice or tournament site with anyone besides a California Blue VBC parent or guardian. Parents, guardians and their guests are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and respect all teammates, players, opponents, parents, coaches and officials during any California Blue VBC clinics, gatherings, practices, tournaments or other venues.

Communication Guidelines The California Blue VBC encourages open communication between players, their parents or guardians and coaches. If there is a question about coaching decisions, conduct, playing time, skills assessment or anything regarding a California Blue VBC player the following guidelines are intended to facilitate the most productive and efficient communication with the coaches. The player or parent should schedule a meeting with the coach to discuss the issue. As appropriate, the coach may request the presence of the assistant coach, club director, player, parent or guardian. After the initial meeting, if there is a dispute or if questions remain, the player or parent should schedule a meeting with the California Blue VBC Director and coach. It is inappropriate for a parent to attempt to settle a dispute regarding the California Blue VBC without the player and coach meeting or without informing the California Blue VBC Director. 8

9 California Blue VBC Rules Practice Attendance Practices are mandatory. No missed practices unless prior approval is received from the coach.

10 MOTIVATION

11 No! Try not. Do... or do not! There is no try. Setting personal goals The Jedi Master, Yoda When you read or hear from people that accomplish things in life, business or sport they usually talk about having set a goal for themselves. Goals provide focus. Setting goals helps you decide what you want to work on and what you want to achieve. Think about setting goals in the context of volleyball and the things you can do today to start achieving your goals. Your personal development action plan Create your Personal Development Action Plan by setting goals. Goals provide focus and help to guide your actions and measure progress. Achieving goals helps you feel better about yourself and keeps you moving forward. Tips for setting your personal goals Write down your goals using the Personal Development Action Plan worksheet. Speak and write about what you want to work on and accomplish in positive terms. Measure your achievement by committing to dates and time frames. Limit yourself to one goal (maybe two) to work at a time. Choose goals that are under your control. Build on small successes and enjoy your achievements. Set new goals based on what you have learned and experienced. Remember, setting a goal helps you to concentrate your efforts and build your self-confidence as your efforts gradually turn a wish, or a dream, into a reality. 11

12 Start by writing down the goals you want to reach. Look at each goal. Do they meet the criteria for a SMART goal? SMART = Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely Specific A specific goal has a better chance of being accomplished than a general goal. Answering these questions will help you set a specific goal: Who: What: Where: When: Which: Why: Who is involved? Who can help or partner with me? What do I want to accomplish? Where can I get this done? Pick a location. How long will this take? Pick a time frame. Which things will help me achieve my goal? What stands in the way? Why have I set this goal? What benefits will I get by achieving my goal? Measurable Choose how to measure your progress. Measuring your progress helps you to stay on track, reach your target dates, and ultimately reach your goal. Answer the questions: How much? How many? How will I know when I have reached my goal? Attainable Choose a goal that is important to you. Over time you will develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and capacity to reach them. As you focus your efforts, new things that you learn and experience will help you achieve what you want. Realistic Your goal must be something that you are both willing and able to work toward. Your goal is realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Aim high. Timely Your goal should be grounded within a time frame to provide a sense of urgency. Begin working toward your goal right away waiting until someday will not work. Choose what you want to work on and set your SMART goal. 12

13 My personal development action plan worksheet My goal is: These are the plans and strategies I will use to achieve my goal: Are there any barriers or obstacles that might stand in my way? Is my goal realistic? Can I commit to getting this done? On a scale of 0 to 10 (best) what are my chances of achieving my goal? When will I know I have achieved my goal? Have I asked for advice on my goal and plans from my coach? 13

16 INSPIRATION

17 Our Mission We train the complete volleyball player! Our goal at the California Blue VBC is to teach the fundamentals of the sport of volleyball and to develop the skills necessary for volleyball players to succeed and compete at the highest level. We believe training as complete volleyball players, as opposed to position players, gives young athletes the best understanding of the game and the most knowledge of the sport. We understand that coaching is teaching, so we work hard to instill the values necessary for athletes to succeed on and off the court. 17

18 Life Balance for Players Our goal at the California Blue VBC is help players succeed and compete at the highest level but we understand that there is more going on in your life than just volleyball. We know that there are a lot of things competing for your time and attention school, extracurricular activities, community service, friends and family. The big question is: How do you get it all done, not feel overwhelmed and stay positive? First, if you are feeling overwhelmed, talk to the adults in your life and share with them how you are feeling and ask for help dealing with the pressure you feel. The California Blue VBC encourages you to keep athletics in perspective. Playing sports is about having fun and having fun is exactly what we do while teaching you how to play the game of volleyball. Sure you will work hard but you will experience that special something that can only be achieved by being part of a team. Remember, volleyball is a simple game and it s all about the pass, set, and attack. Using these concepts, here are a few tips that can help you balance your life on and off the court. Pass Be well-rounded not overwhelmed. Take a moment to write out all the activities and things that you are doing now. Then decide which activities mean the most to you. Choose to focus on a few activities that will still leave you time for school, homework and free time with friends and family. Get enough sleep. You will feel better, look better and be more alert during the day. The National Sleep Foundation says that teens need about 9¼ hours of sleep each night (for some, 8½ hours is enough). Not getting enough sleep can make it harder to listen, learn, concentrate and solve problems. Set Set realistic goals. Setting goals helps you decide what you want to work on and what you want to achieve. As you concentrate your efforts you build selfconfidence and gradually turn a dream into reality. Work on one goal (maybe two) at a time. Build on small achievements and take time to enjoy your successes. Map out your week, day by day. Prioritize. Do what needs to be done first, first! Some things have to be done early in the week other things can be done later. It still has to be done but if you are flexible and do a good job mapping things out you can focus on a few assignments at a time. Attack Take care of yourself. Eat breakfast, which will increase your attention span and help you remember what you learn during the day. Drink water, low-fat milk or fat-free milk. Fewer calories from fat are better for your body. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Wellbalanced eating keeps you healthy! Don t skip meals. Feeling too hungry may lead to overeating high-calorie, non-nutritious foods. Do something that makes you feel good. Set aside a part of each day to read, listen to music, take a walk, help around the house or just sit quietly for a few minutes to reflect on the good things in your life. 18

19 EDUCATION

20 A Brief History of Volleyball In 1895, William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, developed the elements of an indoor sport, Mintonette, which borrowed elements from tennis and handball, and was easier for members to play than basketball. A year later, Alfred Halstead described players in an exhibition match volleying the ball back and forth during the game and the sport had a new name volley ball. As it grew in popularity volleyball spread to YMCAs around the country and to a variety of countries around the world. In 1964, volleyball was played in the Olympics in Tokyo for the first time, and after this showcase, volleyball became even more popular. The rules governing volleyball have changed over time but, according to USA Volleyball, William G. Morgan would still recognize the sport today because it has retained its essential elements over the years. The essential elements of volleyball are service, rotation, attack, and defense. Volleyball Basics Two opposing teams meet on a playing court divided by a net. The six players on a team are divided into three front row players and three back row players. The ball is put in play with a service hitting the ball over the net to the opponent s side. The ball may be played off the net on a serve or during a volley. A team is allowed up to three hits before a return sending the ball back over the net to the opponent s side. Players send the ball back over the net and try to ground it on the opponent s side. The rally continues until the ball is grounded or the opposing team fails to return the ball or if the ball goes out of bounds. If the ball hits the boundary line, the ball is in. The team that wins a rally, scores a point, rotates its players clockwise one position, and gets to serve the ball to the opposing team. The game continues, with the first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) awarded the set. Matches are best-of-three sets and the third set (if necessary) is usually played to 15 points. During a game, in addition to a wide variety of defensive and offensive strategies, players employ a variety of techniques including, diving, open hand tips, off-speed hits, forearm passing, spikes, sprawling and blocking at the net. As the athletic skill of players increases, the level of play becomes more exciting and intense. 20

21 Serving Our team must serve consistently to win. Serving aces is the quickest and easiest way to earn points in volleyball. The keys to success in volleyball are the serve and the serve receive. Our team will be proficient at serving by developing control of the direction and speed of the serve. Your serving skill should be not only consistent but aggressive. Go after it! It is another opportunity to attack. If we serve the ball well, it will be extremely difficult for opponents to run their offense. If they can t score, they can t win! Here are four things that make a serve difficult to pass: Velocity The faster the serve, the less time your opponents have to make a decision on who is passing. Position (where you serve the ball) Seaming players creates a situation where two people have to decide who will pass the ball. Deep corner serves have a greater opportunity to be passed back over the net or into the net. Choice of Serve The more serves you have in your arsenal, the less prepared opponents will be. Float Serve Elbow high, toss in front of right side Strike ball with solid, flat hand- high-five the ball Hit straight through the ball No follow through Top-spin Serve Toss ball closer to body Step under ball Hit the ball and bring your hand - SNAP! Over the Top * High contact, snap wrist Follow through *When hit correctly the ball will drop quickly on the other side of the net with a forward top spin. Type of Serve Floaters - a floater changes direction; either up, down, left or right. Topspins - have English on the ball and will dip to the floor quicker than expected. Jump serves - come with more speed and a sharper downward angle than players are used to. Jump Serve Toss ball with serving hand above your head and in front of you. Take your approach to the ball as if attacking 21

22 Serve Receive Receiving the serve is crucial to our team s success and the most important element in volleyball. We will use the three-person serve receive and adequately cover the court. The advantages to this approach are fewer passers, fewer misunderstandings and fewer decisions to make. And our primary passers will get most of the reps. We will spend half of practice every day on serve and serve receive. We re going to face some of the best teams in southern California, so if we can t pass the ball from a serve (especially our outsides) our hitters will have very few opportunities to attack. Responsibilities on serve receive Middle Blockers Verbally identify the opponent s frontrow players and the position of their setter (front row, back row). Setters Communicate our attack strategy to your teammates through our signals. Passers Call the ball as soon as the ball is served. Let your teammates know you re taking the ball. Call the ball early! Those of you not taking the ball open up to the passer and yell go! and the passer s name. This is how you physically acknowledge who is responsible for passing the ball by backing away a step and turning toward the passer (open up). If you are not passing the ball call in or out for the passer. We can be an extremely effective offensive threat if we pass well. Keep it simple. The pass should be at antenna level which is 11 feet. If we pass any higher, it will slow down our offense, but that is better than a low pass, overpass or tight pass. Remember: The person on the left is responsible for pass ingthe ball when it is served between two players except the deep serves. Left is right, right is wrong! The player on the right is in a better position to pass the deep serve with a backward bump to the setter. The best way to define your passing responsibilities is to point your right hand to the two o clock position and your left hand to the seven o clock position. Everything between your arms, to the person to the left of you, is your ball. Reminders: Platform ready early Call the ball early (as soon as it s served) Pass from the mid-line of the body Get your feet to the ball Left is right, right is wrong when passing if the ball is to your: left - it s your ball! right - it s not your ball! 22

23 Platform / Forearm Pass There is an expression in volleyball, The serve and serve receive win matches. In other words, to win matches in volleyball, our team must serve and pass well. The better we can pass as a team, the more sophisticated our offense will be. A quick and simple pass is critical to creating the opportunity to make points off of a powerful attack. Reminders: Ready Position Hands in front, knees-slightly staggered feet, shoulder width apart. Platform / Forearm Contact Thumbs and wrists together lock your elbows, shrug your shoulders. Platform ready early! The heart and soul of defense is the dig, which is also a platform/forearm pass. The platform/forearm pass is the major skill used in volleyball and it is critical to the success of our team. Passers must anticipate where the ball is going and get their feet there before the ball arrives. Call the ball early! Own the ball early! Help your teammates know where the ball is! The Pass Feet to the ball early Beat the ball to the spot Shuffle feet Face your target Always square to the target If you are not the passer, reinforce the pass by calling the passers name Go Suzy! for example. 23

24 Spiking / Hitting / Attacking The spike is one of the most exciting skills in volleyball. That is why it has nicknames like crush it, kill it, lay the hammer down, etc. When executed properly, it terminates a rally and swings the momentum of the match to our team. Very simply, the goal of the attack is to put the ball where the defense isn t to be a step ahead of the defense and keep them guessing. The main thrust of our offense is the outside attack. The team that has the best outside hitter has a definite advantage if the team can also pass and serve proficiently. The hitter coming from the left front position has the longer approach and the better angle to hit the ball. Because the setter is positioned closer to the right side of the court, the set will travel farther to the outside hitter thus giving the hitter more time to approach the ball. On-hand Spikes For right-handed hitters any set coming from their right is termed an on-hand spike and the hitters will be able to hit the ball before it travels across their body. This makes the spike much easier to aim and hit and to aim at a variety of locations on the opponent s court. Off-hand Spikes Sets coming from the left are termed off-hand spikes or attacks. These are more difficult because the ball must cross the hitter s body before it can be attacked. If you are a right-handed, right-side attacker, do not attack too early and do not reach across your body. Remember: The ball should always be in front of the body when hitting. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to hit the ball down if you are underneath it. To get the maximum amount of power and to direct the ball to a variety of spots the ball should always be in front of the hitting arm. These are the keys to the approach: Slow faster fastest Short longer longest Big bigger biggest We use a four-step approach: right, left, right, close (left) 1. Timing step (right) 2. First step (left) puts the hitter behind the ball 3. Second step (right) takes the hitter to the ball 4. Third step / Closing step (left) closes the hitters approach for the jump and opens the hitters shoulders to the setter. Always swing your non-hitting arm up and point to the ball big hand, loose wrist. 24

25 Overhead Pass + Setting Overhead pass and setting are two names for the same skill. Setting is usually defined as passing the ball to an attacker/hitter and is the most accurate of volleyball skills. Every player must know how to perform this skill because there are times when someone other than the setter has to set. When we, as a team, are proficient at setting, the number of attacks will increase; and the more balls our team can attack, the better our chances of winning. The rules of volleyball have been adjusted to allow the overhead pass to be used in a wider variety of situations, such as handling serve reception and spikes. Free Ball! Hands! Reminders: Left foot behind the ball, lead with right foot. Face your target Square to the target Big hands-forehead level or higher We use the overhead pass to pass all free balls from our opponents because it is easier to control, is passed at a better angle to set, and is less likely to go over the net. 25

26 Blocking Blocking is a difficult skill to master. Even if we are a great blocking team, we will not block every ball; we will not even block the majority of attacks. The hitters always have the advantage. But the blockers presence will direct the ball to certain parts of the court. As blockers, we must be disciplined and realize that even though we may not touch every ball, we are protecting part of the court, allowing our defensive specialists to defend a smaller, more defined area. As a blocker, attitude is everything! Hustle and aggressiveness are the two key characteristics of a great blocker. Controlling, or owning the net play is another aspect of good blocking. We intimidate attackers by constantly patrolling and attacking any ball that comes near the net. Timing Ball, hitter, setter, ball, hitter Watch what s going on, on the other side of the net! Look where the ball is going Press Reach over the net with big hands (Mickey Mouse ears) Seal the net with body Arms close to the top of the net So the ball cannot come between you and the net Hips into the court Square your body to the court Prevent balls from being blocked out of bounds Footwork Three-step aproach Big step (right or left) Crossover step, jump together. The three-step approach allows you to move efficiently along the net and cover greater distance When going to the left, step with the left foot first When going to the right, step with the right foot first Reminders: Keep your hands up at eye level Get your legs loaded Eliminates the time needed to bend down; hence a quicker response When going to the left, step with the left foot first Angle your hands into the opponents court. This will send the ball straight down on your opponent s side Penetrate! When going to the right, step with the right foot first 26

30 Glossary of Volleyball Terms (con d) LET SERVE A serve that contacts the net. If the ball dribbles over, it s playable just like any other ball that contacts the net on the way over. If the ball fails to clear the net, it will become dead when it either hits the serving team s court, or is contacted by a player on the serving team. MIDDLE-BACK A defensive system that uses the middle back player to cover deep spikes. MIDDLE-UP A defensive system that uses the middle back player to cover dinks or short shots. MINTONETTE The original name of the game of volleyball, created by William Morgan. MULTIPLE OFFENSE A system of play using different types of sets other than just normal outside sets. OFFSIDE BLOCK Player at the net, which is on the side away from the opponent s attack. OFF-SPEED HIT Any ball spiked with less than maximum force but with spin. OUTSIDE HITTER A left-front or right-front attacker normally taking an approach which starts from outside the court. OVERHAND PASS A pass executed with both hands open, controlled by the fingers and thumbs, played just above the forehead. OVERHAND SERVE Serving the ball and striking it with the hand above the shoulder. OVERLAP Refers to the positions of the players in the rotation prior to the contact of the ball when serving. PANCAKE A one-handed defensive technique where the hand is extended and the palm is slid along the floor as the player dives or extension rolls, and timed so that the ball bounces off the back of the hand. PEPPER A warm-up drill in which two players pass, set, and hit the ball back and forth. PENETRATION The act of reaching across and breaking the plane of the net during blocking. POINT OF SERVICE A serve that results in a point when the serve is not returnable due to a bad pass by the receiver. Includes aces. POWER ALLEY A cross-court hit traveling away from the spiker to the farthest point of the court. POWER TIP A ball that is pushed or directed with force by an attacking team. QUICK A player approaching the setter for a quick inside hit. 30

31 Glossary of Volleyball Terms (con d) QUICK SET A set (usually two feet above the net) in which the hitter is approaching the setter, and may even be in the air, before the setter delivers the ball. This type of set requires precise timing between the setter and hitter. READY POSITION The flexed, yet comfortable, posture a player assumes before moving to contact the ball. RECEPTION ERROR A serve that a player should have been able to return, but results in an ace (and only in the case of an ace). If it is a husband/wife play (where the ball splits the two receivers), the receiving team is given the reception error instead of an individual. RED CARD A severe penalty in which an official displays a red card. The result of a red card may be that a player is disqualified, the team loses the serve, or the team loses a point. A red card may be given with or without a prior yellow card as a warning; it is up to the official s discretion. ROLL A way to pass a ball in which the digger, or passer lays out an arm, passes the ball, and rolls over the shoulder (over the shoulder roll) or back (barrel roll) after passing the ball. This is a quick way to return to action after the play. ROOF A ball that when spiked is blocked by a defensive player such that the ball deflects straight to the floor on the attacker s side. ROTATION The clockwise movement of players around the court and through the serving position following a side out. SERVE One of the six basic skills; used to put the ball into play. The game starts when one player serves the ball from the end line of his side of the court, into the opposing teams half. It is the only skill controlled exclusively by one player. SERVER The player who puts the ball into play. SERVICE ERROR An unsuccessful serve in which the ball hits the net, fails to clear the net, or lands out of bounds, or the server commits a foot fault. SERVICE WINNER A point the serving team scores when this player has served the ball. The point can be an immediate (in the case of an ace) or delayed (a kill or opponent attack error after a long rally). Therefore, the sum of the team s service winners equals their score. SET The tactical skill in which a ball is directed to a point where a player can spike it into the opponent s court. SETTER The player who has the second of three contacts of the ball and who sets the ball with an Overhand Pass for a teammate to hit. The setter normally runs the offense. 31

32 Glossary of Volleyball Terms (con d) SIDE OUT Occurs when the receiving team successfully puts the ball away against the serving team, or when the serving team commits an unforced error, and the receiving team thus gains the right to serve. SIX PACK Occurs when a blocker gets hit in the head or face by a spiked ball. SIX-TWO A six-player offense using two setters opposite one another in the rotation. Setter one becomes a hitter upon rotating into the front row as setter two rotates into the back row and becomes the setter. SPIKE Also hit or attack. A ball contacted with force by a player on the offensive team who intends to terminate the ball on the opponent s floor or off the opponent s blocker. STRONG SIDE When a right-handed hitter is hitting from the left-front position or when a left-handed hitter is hitting from the right-front position. STUFF A ball that is deflected back to the attacking team s floor by the opponent s blockers. A slang term for block. TIP The placement or redirection of the ball with the fingers, sometimes referred to as a dink or dump; a tip is counted as an attack attempt and, if successful, a kill. TURNING IN When an outside blocker turns his/her body into the court to ensure the blocked ball is deflected into the court and lands in-bounds. UNDERHAND SERVE A serve in which the ball is given a slight under-hand toss from about waist high and then struck with the opposite closed fist in an underhand pitching motion. WEAK SIDE When a right-handed player is hitting from right-front position or when a lefthanded player is hitting from the left-front position. WIPE When a hitter pushes the ball off of the opposing block so it lands out of bounds YELLOW CARD A warning from an official indicated by the display of a yellow card. Any player or coach who receives two yellow cards in a match is disqualified. A single yellow card does not result in loss of point or serve. 32
