  1. Thanks so much John. I totally know what you are talking about with the praying position now. I am also open to the overhead passing thing...my husband uses it all the time in our adult league. Wish me success with a bunch of boys who all think they can do anything better than girls (haha). I'm going to check out those books you suggested too. Thanks Again. Rvrkids
  2. If anyone is still reading this post, please clarify for me what you mean by "praying" position. I know the kids shouldn't swing their arms when bumping but still unclear on "praying". Also, why emphasize "overhead passing". It seems that overhead passing from the backrow with fingers could easily be a carry. I understand it for front row but when I played (many moons ago) we never did overhand/overhead from the backrow. Sorry for the questions but I'm just beginning to coach my son's 5th grade team and have lots of questions since it's been so long since I've been truly active with volleyball. Thanks for the help.
  3. Thank you Juniper... What about the hitting/spiking part? I don't think the boys will be able to spike/hit yet so what should I teach them to do on the third "hit"? Also, should I teach them all to set and then just always have the person in the center front be the setter? Last year they all seemed to be able to serve the ball overhand pretty well....I think we'll work on perfecting that and maybe targeting a little?.? Thanks again.
  4. Hello - I'm new to this forum mainly b/c I'm new to coaching. I played in highschool (almost 20 years ago) and just this year started playing in a fun adult league. I have agreed to coach my son's 5th grade team. They played last year but from what I saw their basic play was just bumping the ball back over the net. I don't remember them even hitting 3 times. What skills/knowledge of the game should I teach them this year (i.e. bump,set,spike, various formations, target serving, specific setters, etc.)? From what I remember, I used to play mostly with a 3-1-2 lineup and always had the same 2 setters (I apologize that I don't remember all the correct terms). Please help me. Thanks.
