The VolleyPod is all about coaching kids volleyball! Each episode we cover 3 segments that are each designed to help you become a better volleyball coach. First, we focus on a specific volleyball skill, talk about how to teach it, and provide drills and video links for further help with that skill. Then, we present a common coaching scenario and discuss tips for how to (and how not to) handle it. In the third segment we share a resource that has helped us to become a better coach, with the hopes that it can help you too! See you on The VolleyPod!

Increasing your scoring from the pins goes a long way towards helping your team win, so how can your team start putting up a bunch of points from the wings?
On this week's episode of The VolleyPod, Davis and Tod discuss ways to immediately impact your scoring from the pins and some longer-term principles to help you keep your scoring high all season.
Then, they explore some non-standard ways that coaches can utilize their assistant coaches in a meaningful way other than that day's fun chat.
They also share an incredibly "rich" resource, RichKern.com, that is like an encyclopedia of results, players, and schools, and much more.
In addition, they point listeners towards Britney Abercrombie's "Opposite Hitting Series" of videos from The Art of Coaching Volleyball's highly useful library. This series covers technique, tactics, and the mental approach of attacking.
