Playing defense in Youth Volleyball

Author: Watching volleyball moves essentially a solid team and the transition from offense to defense to offense and defense is probably the most valuable experience that you may receive as a trainer. The ballet “movement is not in one game, but suddenly at some point in the season, you will sit on the bench watching your team play, and for no apparent reason, you find your relaxation with a big smile on your face. “Eureka”, you silently shouting, “They get it!” countless hours of practice paid off. So how do you get to this point with a group of young players who may have never played a game of volleyball in their lives?
This is a cumulative process, each section that describes and maps for your players, based on the previous section. You can teach this in stages, and then drag each step into practice the final total. Here is how to divide part of learning.
1. The portion of the offense of “base” defense. (Alignment attack will not be discussed in this article is the emphasis on harmony and the defense in front of the back row ..)
2. Skip the “base” of the defense to prepare to dig attacking player.
3. Positioning and reading the opponent’s attack
The first step in teaching young players the defensive position is to get them to understand where they should be placed on the ground to start playing defense. Use the word “transition” when you run your players through their moves from offense to defense. Are you a team of six hump attacks, set, spike. As this piece is finished, the players gathered near the batter, get ready to dig a shot blocked. Once the ball was sent over the net all six players are shaking (RUN!) For the base “of their” defensive positions.
defensive base positions look as follows: The vanguard of allied players clean face, arms raised to the shoulder. The attacker was in the middle of the court on the net. Rights and players about 10 yards left of midfield players on each side. All the first three lines of players must be ready to block the opponent’s attack. The front row players must be a foot and a half of the net. A good rule of thumb is for players to stand close to the net with their hands at their sides. Now, raise your hand, bending your elbows form a 90 degree angle at the elbow. Players fingertips can not touch the bottom when they swing their nets. For young players, some of them may not be high enough to block, but only to face a player can jump attack and disrupt. It also prepares your players as they grow and mature, to position themselves correctly. As a front row player is to match the net at the back players shaking (RUN!) In order to keep their positions. The central defender is 5 feet from the rear in the middle of the court, as a defender right and left 3 or 4 feet from the touchline and two or three feet behind the attack line (10 feet of line ). The back row players form a triangle, and must be in “the position they are ready” (with knees bent legs, bending your upper body so that the shoulder more of the knees, arms akimbo) faces net and see what the opponent did. They are ready to move and respond.
For this exercise with the Transition Team, has played six players bump, set, spike sequence. Once the peak through the net, and players are eager to get into their basic defensive. If it is a very experienced team, put the players in their offensive positions, the coach hits the ball over the net, to simulate an attack on the side of players. Once the ball is out coach on the net, the crowd of players at the base of their defensive positions. Perform this exercise several times, ensure that ALL players of the team to transition. In most cases you work on this point, more automated and remember the position becomes. You must play through each of the six position players on the field. This ensures that all players know where to go wherever they are in court.
The second step is to have your players to adjust the basis of “their” defensive position and react to where the opponent will be attacking the ball. This is called reading the opponent’s attack. Based on hitters, where the opponent will hit the ball, a defender you shuffle into position ready to dig the attack. Front row moves to block a defensive player (a player retires and center) and other statements sleek and near the line of attack to shoot a roll DINKS and directed at an angle. The returning players on the outside, just behind the attack was mixed with a few steps back and the side line. This job is to protect players’ attack, and take any DINKS blocking. The players shuffled back to the middle of a diagonal angle of attack to explore the cross-court. The back of the other players outside the shuffle (viewable at the attacker) and the positions themselves directly in line with the shoulders in their blockers, about 20 meters from the net (10 meters from the line of attack). All players back line low to dig a spike.
defensive movements may be easier to learn by repetition. In practice, it has the teams transition from offense to the “basic defense” and then widened the attack to another region. Tell them from which the aggression, and make everyone move and go to their posts. As the players learn their position, you can start hitting the ball and simulate an attack.
