Coach Stone, what a necessary video this is. The number one poorly coached and poorly studied skill being taught to junior volleyball player in america is arm swing mechanics. And the primary issue is the feedback to "get your elbow up". If juniors coaches taught Low to High.. it would save a lot of players from shoulder surgeries and there would be a lot more heat and range out there

4:24 Top Spin Drill, Underhand & Overhand (relaxed hand, fingers spread) - 50 reps each 5:37 Open Hand Contacts (spread fingers, full hand contact, roll wrist over top) - 25 reps 7:01 Hand Shake & Hit ball down off the ground (elbow & wrist motion) - reps TBD 8:10 1-foot Standing Hits (promotes core engagement & flexion) - reps TBD 10:35 Floor-to-Wall Hitting 11:10 Tissue Shredding, Part 1 (loose wrist, static arm) - 30 seconds 12:45 Tissue Shredding, Part 2 - (add continuous arm swing) - reps TBD 13:47 Arm swing issues & most common mistakes 18:02 Box Hits (standing hits from 2-hand toss, “pull chain”, hold the finished position) - reps TBD 21:30 2-step Down Ball Hits (ball tossed to ideal position, no jump, proper posture & swing) - reps TBD 21:45 Right-Left-Jump & Hit (move to the ball, coach/partner varies the tosses) - reps TBD

What an angel

The coach is so excellent! He explained the spiking drill in a super clear way, very easy to understand. Thks coash very much^^

I think this is so spot on and extremely helpful. Started incorporating these drills right after I first watched. Thank you

These drills are awesome. I am 34 and recently began playing Volleyball. It is tough to learn. I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning and now it is super tough gettin rid of them. My hit was always weak and all over the place. The whole movement felt wrong all the time but nobody told me what I did wrong. Now I know my shoulder was to stiff and I was told my whole arm needs to be stiff and full of tension. Now that I know my elbow is the driving force and not my shoulder, things have cleared up for me. And the way the shoulder is placed in this movement pattern is perfect to avoid Impingement, which was always a big problem for me. Well, it will take ages for me to learn the new movement pattern, but it is not too late. After doing a couple of these exercises at home I noticed that I also gained more control over the ball when forearm passing or setting. That was pretty weird because I didnt expect that. I am happy that I stumbled across this video, so thanks a lot.

The techniques modeled & explained here are remarkably similar to the methods of Chinese coach Dr. Lian Lu who was the head of the Olympic Coaches Commission. He also was also a long time assistant at UC Santa Barbara under Kathy Gregory, head coach at Cal St. Northridge in the 90s, & the national team coach for Mexico. He was a great friend of Pepperdine/Team USA's gold medal winning head coach Marv Dunphy. Dr. Lu was one of the brightest & most articulate minds in volleyball I have ever known. This video is outstanding.

After having ACL surgery I’m trying to re-teach myself technique and mechanics, this video is really helpful

This is the most helpful drills, very important points, it was great coach

Jim, This is a fantastic video an incorporates beautifully the physics to create a smooth and powerful arm swing. It is so critical to involve the core and more powerful back muscles in the swing and avoid a "shoulder only" swing. This is key in preventing overuse injuries in the shoulder. My daughter remembers the shoulder back concept by saying she's "wrinking her scapulae together", storing the loaded potential energy of her trunk and back and then releasing them

sir you are real teacher of voly ball i watch your vidoes they are helping me to spike the bal weldone sir

Great video, I will practice it soon, I really appreciated !

Best volleyball video of all time. Thanks

so good videos and more useful than most similar videos

Jim sir please make a video on improving contact point during spiking volleyball

This video is gold. That been said I been coaching and still playing for longer than what I want to admit. I coached college girls and high school boys. While I agreed with 95% of everything he said, the one difference in coaching boys and girls is where the boys make contact with the ball vs girls. Boys proportionally jump higher than girls, so if you look at her contact with the ball is almost aligned straight with her neck. With boys, you always teach them to hit in front of their heads. Also girls relly way more on rolling the wrist to create the spin down for the ball. That's the difference in the proportion of how much higher boys jump. Boys are literally hitting the straight down with pretty much no roll. That's because we hit in front of the face with arm extended so the angle of the contact is already at a decline. Girls have to hit at the highest point of reach with the arm stretched out and apply some wrist. You might think is minimal but just watch men in slow-mo making contact vs women.

great video!

Great video! Thanks a lot

Excellent excellent video here! As a coach I am always exploring new ways to teach my girls. I coach 3rd - 8th grade. At the 3rd grade level some of my littles can't even grasp how to move their feet, yet my 8th graders are ready to attack. At what age do we start introducing these mechanics?

well i’m glad i saw this now i just started playing

Great video! I have played and coached for almost four decades. The area I teach a little different is the location of where athletes pull the arm back. My experience has been having the athlete swing both arms hard above the head increases and maximizes the athletes jump before pulling the arm back to hit. You can still pull your elbow low and swing high. Lots of great information in this video.

That actually makes a lot of sense :) So you would say that as soon as both arms have reached peak height, then you should pull your elbow back, instead of doing it mid jump/armswing?

30 years ago, I caught a bunch of flak for teaching this way. Because it wasnt "how it's always been done in the past". Glad to see this information available.

This is amazing

Ah thanks man my hand contact and mechanics have been poor, I have only played club for a year but I’m going to be a sophomore. I’m pretty good but my mechanics are not that great but since club is pushed back I’m gonna do these everyday.

Thanks this helps a lot

Do not stop the arm momentum at any point. This 13:25 is true of softball throwing also.

Perfectly structuted instructions. I am only missing what Position the hitting arm has to come to a stop. Is it moving diagonally towards left body side or better to the right.

On the way up, as right arm reaches shoulder height 15:02, pull right elbow back.

She has to use her two steps (RL) 24:00 to adjust her position before her spike.

Tennis serve topspin is quite different, brushing up and out, rather than snapping the wrist

My daughter ids 5'4" is she to short to play outside hitter? What can she do to improve her jump she has a difficult time getting it over the net?

Do note that alot of professional athletes intentionally dip slightly to the side on alot of hits, pulling their arm to the side instead of to the center if they want a higher ball contact. If you're standing, you will find you can reach higher when you angle yourself, not staying tall. However I'd imagine being stabilized in that position requires more strength, hence the advice to stay straight. I personally find I hit more balls when I stay straight, but I was confused when I saw professional athletes doing something else, especially when serving. If you disagree just watch any professional match on KZread. The important thing is that the elbow circle movement remains at a 90° angle to the ground, not swinging left or right, leading to missing the ball/bad hits or shoulder problems. I can recommend recording your own hits and then comparing that to what the professionals or semiprofessionals do and finding the difference in movement and movement timing, not in jump height and spiking speed. (When are they pulling the arms back/forward/up)

The drill to incorporate the piking action of the torso 9:47

Beautiful girl.

When watching her arm swings in minute 9:48 and following I would say: be careful if your girlfriend is an active volleyball player... she could deliver pretty hard face slaps... :-)

All is great except the start of the arm swing. When you start with elbow low and rotate up and high will cause shoulder fatigue as well elbow problems. Swinging with elbows going high and as your rotate, you’ve set yourself up with a proper follow through that hits the ball at the optimum length and power. Furthermore, when the elbow swings back low, cutting the ball is more difficult and if the cut is successful, it will again hurt the elbow and shoulder. Great video though... just careful with the initiation of the swing.

Where did you find that information? I have heard the exact opposite from a colleague. He found out in one of his studies that starting with ellbow high frequently results in impinchment syndrome. And although I prefer the ellbow high approach - because I think it makes ball control a lot easier - starting ellbow low certainly gives me the feeling to have more power.

this technique is slightly flawed as you don't get full reach potential (with other technique(slighlty streightening the hand before it reaches the ear) you can hit the ball from higher and with more force )but both work as in most cases you hit the ball in front of you slightly (with the loss in hiting height)

While the explanation and techniques provided are helpful, a coach placing their hands on a player as much as this is very uncomfortable to watch. The player can be instructed without being touched as the coach continues his dialogue.

It's a lengthy video but one must watch it till the end and your smashing technique will definitely be improved.

Excellent video, one of the best. Thanks, this helps a lot.

Thank you Coach. Amazing technique.

Very useful for beginners and Coaches....
