Form Check First day fixing penultimate, form check

Posted my hitting form and realized that my jumping form is just not improving over time like I thought it would. I have to fix my penultimate first. How does this look? Long enough? I know going too long atm can cause injury if my body can't handle the load. Is this decent enough though for a penultimate? I'm working on making sure I convert the energy straight up as well. I drifted forward on some of these.

Hello fellow volleyball Friends.

I've been seeing this multi color net tape all around the internet lately. Any opinions on It? is It good for coaching? Any experience training with It?

Thanks!

General Sports advice

4 Upvotes

So I go to a relatively small school.our volleyball team consists of a nice amount of people but there is a selective number who actually play at tournaments.Thing is,I've been playing for a year and a half,and I'm still not part of the team.i used to be,but then they didn't add me in the lineup this year.We also don't have actual coaching for anyone who's not on the team for them to get better,just a little bit of time in break everyday where the same team plays and I'm lucky if I get subbed in.Most times,the main person who decides who gets to play just put in their freinds,and while I do understand that obviously when your the leader of something you'll want your freinds to come first but I also think everyone should be given the same opportunities.i do remember not playing the best last year when I was put in the team,I cost them a couple points in a game(which they eventually won in anyway) and skipping a tournament because I knew I was going to be subbed out.i just get a lot of fomo icl😭.I do practice at home like setting or passing to the wall but idk if it's enough.Now I know that some people have been playing for years before I started or have really good connections but honestly there's people in my team who started like this year and just joined and(I would say) are as good as me or a bit better.I just want some good advice as to what I'm supposed to do in this situation because I don't just wanna sit around and complain,I'm actually passionate about it,enough to want to play atleast at highschool level.

Questions Need to improve

1 Upvotes

I play volleyball fairly decently. Im not incredivly skilled but im not exsctly bad either. I know how to set(albeit not spot on sets for a spiker) but i can set regularly. I can also bump. But im mainly an outside hitter in my high school team. Im competing with another guy to be on the main team and so far hes better than me. The thing is. Im taller, bigger, stronger and have a higher vertical jump. But skill wise, i always mess up my spikes mid game. Theyre never powerful or go low like they do when im practicing. My serves also constantly go straight or too high even when theyre very powerful. I need solutions and i also wanna know if possible. Can i improve drastically in 3 months? I wanna perfect spikes, maximize my vertical and my form. I have the run up down i think but i often forget to implemwnt it in my match and like i said my spikes most of the time hit the absolute end of the field right past the line. So they go down just not low enough. Pls help. I also dont know if this post is allowed to be put out as a question so pls forgive me if not

News/Events Tired of checking 20 sites for volleyball news, so I put it all on one page

1 Upvotes

Got tired of hopping between school sites, Volleyballmag and Twitter to keep up, so I built one page that pulls it all together: https://readthegrandstand.com/thedig

  • Headlines from 80-ish sources (school sites, Volleyballmag, NCAA.com, Off the Block, FIVB and more), grouped by conference
  • AVCA Top 25, a score ticker and a nightly “Tonight” board with where to watch and live set scores
  • Sections for the pros, preps & recruiting, sand and Team USA

Free, no sign-up, updates all day. Really just looking for feedback, especially if there’s a source I’m missing.

Messaged the mods before, happy to take it down if it doesn't fit with r/volleyball

Questions Always Early

1 Upvotes

On my spikes, I am approaching from almost behind the ten-foot line, and don't feel any push or difficulty closing the distance on my jumps, but even when I am that far back, I am consistently early. I always take my first step of the 4-step approach when the setter touches the ball, plus these timing issues are mostly on 4 balls. Usually, I like to get a longer and faster approach for my jump so that might be the issue.

Probably a little bit of a bad clip since it’s a bit dark and I’m not hitting on a real net.

Questions Are replica AVP balls really that bad? (for practice only)

0 Upvotes

I started playing beach VB for the first time this summer and have gotten really into it with a desire to improve. The group class I’m in uses the official AVP OPTX volleyballs and I bought the replica version for solo practice because $100 is pretty steep for a ball that is inevitably gonna get roughed up on walls and asphalt.

I wanna buy a few more for simple serve/receive practice and other drills with a friend. I understand using the real version for an actual match but I’m hesitant to spend 300+ just for some practice balls. Any tips on good practice setups? Any other ball brands out there in that same $30-50 range that are higher quality than the AVP replica?

Form Check Spiking form check

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey I‘ve posted before about my spiking form a few months back (I’ve been playing for almost a year now) and people told me to work on my footwork which worked decently I guess. I switched from a 3 to a 4 step approach because I was always way too early with a 3 step approach and the additional timing step helps me a lot since we mostly play high balls.
I feel like one problem is the second step, which is supposed to be medium long but I always make a huge one towards the ball making my penultimate shorter and if the ball is set off the net I pretty much have to stay in place and bend my back.
Other than that I tend to forget the block step as I play oppo and I still don‘t know if you do the block step from the right side because I feel like you jump higher but turn yourself away from the court.
Also timing is difficult but I hope it will get better with experience haha

Any feedback is appreciated!
