Hey, what's up you guys welcome back to my channel my name is coach Coco and I love volleyball so much though My channel is for a tips tricks hacks and anything you can ever need to know about volleyball so today. Let's talk about self-passing Have you ever heard the old saying that you have to control the ball and now let the ball control you? Well, that is some true facts. Today, let's work on self-passing and how to increase our chances of passing with success. You need yourself an open space and a volleyball. Now there's a lot of different ways that you can self pass but first let's talk about what self-passing complete is. The first thing you want to do is you want to make sure that you have your platform, you're going to set it to yourself and then roll shot it. That is a complete self-pass. There are two levels to this drill, the self-passing and catch and then the self-passing and roll shot. To start off the level one ball control, we're going to self-pass it to ourselves, set it and then catch it. This is going to build the foundation for us to start learning how to pass to ourselves with control with minimal movements. You want to make sure that you're focusing on your platform, you want to also make sure that we want to keep the ball in our space and we want to have little body adjustment. We want to be able to start passing it to ourselves repetitively without us moving a whole bunch. Practice several times until you feel comfortable and competent to get the ball this way. Then once we start finishing that we're going to move forward. Remember that we want to move our body as little as possible because we want to set and pass it. Here we're going to take it to the next level. Now you're going to start to pass repetitively. That means over and over again. We want to have little body movements and we want to keep it on target and receive the ball. This does take some practice so we're going to work on it. So you might be thinking, how is this skill important? It's important because we have to be able to control the ball more passing to a target and we want to be able to receive the ball and understand how the ball moves in space. Now let's break down each part individually. After we've passed it repetitively then you're going to set to yourself. Now this might be a little challenging for some people because if you're not a setter it's going to take a little bit of time. But once you get each of those parts individually then go back to that past, set and catch. See how much better you do when you break down each piece individually before putting it together. Now here's for my big ballers. If you're ready to go at past set and then roll shot go ahead do your level two. Past set and roll shot. Now you're not going to roll shot it like to a target across from you. You're going to do a light roll shot and catch it. You're going to see yourself move a little bit more here because roll shots tend to be a little bit uncontrolled but that's where we're working on. Just roll it straight back down. We want to be serious and if you want to be serious go non-stop. This is a hard challenge. Even for me it's a challenge but it keeps you going and it's one way to keep your number one your volleyball stamina up. But it also helps keep your volleyball eye ready. Now once you've gotten this self passing drill down you're going to need a partner and I'm using my fiancee here. You need a partner a volleyball and an open space. What you guys are going to do is you're going to arrange yourself so that way they can toss the ball to you. The first thing they're going to do is give you a free ball and then you're going to try to receive that ball but you're going to pass it to yourself. No hands on the knees ready position then you're going to give it back. You're going to receive it to yourself and then give it back. I know a lot of times we have difficulty getting the ball to the center so just make sure that you're trying to keep your body control trying not to fall down. And we're trying to make sure that we have that passing control that we need. Now if you need to ramp it up you can do a down ball. Teach a partner if they've never played before what a down ball is. Same thing you want to try to control it as much as you can. It might be a little bit more difficult depending on how hard your partner is hitting but you want to receive it as well as you can. This is the type of ball that you can start getting to a target. Give it back to your partner but you want to make sure that it's something that they can set. We're not getting a ball that shoots out but a ball that they can set. When I was playing high school volleyball I was not a passer and I did not pay black row. So passing is something that I had to work on at length. I want you to make sure that you are using your correct platform, that your body position is correct and your eyes can see the ball. And I want you to just take your time. Practice does make improvement and we have to practice the skills that we struggle with the most in order to get better. Passing was not one of my stronger skills but it's getting better now. So I hope this volleyball video really helped you with yourself passing and that you liked it. Share it with somebody who needs it and I will see you guys next time. you
