1. Familiarize Yourself with the Game
Volleyball players who become coaches have an advantage over coaches who have never played.
Having first-hand knowledge of the sport is very useful for teaching rotations, improving players’ skills, and raising their volleyball I.Q.
If you have never played volleyball before, familiarize yourself with the game’s tempo and rules by watching a full match – there are plenty of club, high school, and college volleyball games on YouTube.
Joining a local league will give you hands-on experience with all of the positions, and working to improve your own skills will help you become a better teacher to your players.
