The Games Kids Play....

and how we convert them to volleyball skills!!


For the past month, I have been working summer camps with young volleyball athletes of all ages.  The common factor I see with all of these kids is that in general they are pretty good with their volleyball development however somewhat lacking in their footwork and conditioning.


I am working on a series of videos aimed at the young athlete (and for those older athletes who still need to work on faster feet and coordination).  In fact I did a lot of these "fun" games at the national team level.  As I repeat over and over again in my inspirational messages to kids, volleyball is the same game at every level, it is just the execution that is different.


These are games that I did endlessly as we "played outside"... a concept we need to reintroduce to our youngsters... that I wholeheartedly believe made me an overall highly coordinated athlete.


Please click here for the first episode on "Juggling" (my fav!!).. found on the Youth Skill Development Page
*please note that the first part of the video you can't really here me talk over the dubbing (I think done on my purpose by my young athlete ;) ... I basically explain the above concept..


I would be interested in hearing your comments on this...
