Volleyball has certain things that are great to do and there are some things that you should never do. Take a look at this and see if you’re doing some of these things!
I’m going into 8th grade and I think I’m gonna start playing volleyball. Everyone on the volleyball team is a few years ahead of me. Any tips on catching up?
i would probably recommend passing against the wall or with a friend (or even by yourself), practice diving (if you’re gonna be a libero), and practicing overhand/underhand serving
This is very true coming from a volleyball player but if your a stronger server with you buckle make sure it is tucked in your palm tightly to avoid injury
PLEASE NEVER EVER IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES SERVE WITH YOUR KNUCKLES!! I have been plying volleyball for 7 years now and I have only once served with my knuckles (this was when I was beginning), I served the ball and the force of my wrist against the ball resulted in me breaking my wrist, has to sit out the WHOLE SEASON so big no no. It’s not worth it! Don’t ever say it will give you more power because it won’t, serve with good contact and control and you have a powerful serve!
Hey Koko! By popping up do you mean by indirectly sort of hopping when you receive? I record myself playing volleyball on my UA-cam channel..and I actually notice that when I receive..I sort of hop a little. Is that what you mean and if so, how do you prevent yourself from doing that?
its basically when you go from your normal passing position to sorta just standing up. (im pretty sure) to stop it, i recommend practicing staying love while passing, only pushing your legs slightly to help the pass. (also make sure your platform doesnt swing too much)
That’s exactly what I mean! When you receive the ball, don’t “pop up” as if it’s going to give you extra height. This motion will destabilize you and leave you vulnerable to an attack or injury.
@@CherryManCakeI think it also depends on how hard the ball is coming at you and if your need to take some power off of it so do that helps it just depends I pop up a little when serve receiving if it’s very hard driven
i really struggle with overhand serves. my sister (who has played throughout her life) has tried to help me, my coach has, and multiple friends have. i just cannot exert enough force on the ball unless i use my fist. i have made one or two without a fist but with a fist i nail it every time and have never hurt my wrist
@@Itz_hannah529 omg thats so funny to me. Finished my first volleyball season. Honestly so Proud of how much ive grown and learned. Tahnks for the tip btw
Hey Coach Koko! I have been having some trouble with diving, and I seem to land on my stomach a lot… Do you (or anyone else) happen to have advice for me? 😃
i had this problem for SO long! do some arm strength training and just keep practicing! my serving tips are making sure to contact the ball with the bottom of your hand and the spot right below your fingers at the same time, you know its right when you hear the perfect sound. keep tour arm up (like you are drawing a bow) the whole time. contact it at the top of the toss, right when it stops in the air. work on your toss continuously. follow through to your leg. step into your serve. contact the bottom or middle of the ball. you got this!!
I have never been on a real volleyball team but I’ve played a bunch with my friends. I’m going into 8th grade and I want to try out but everyone else has been playing since they were very young. Any tips on what I should do?
And another combination: stealing someone’s ball and then making the ball fly into the wall, and yelling how someone else should have gotten the ball. YES MELISSA IM TALKING ABOUT YOU
Also, I never pancake or try to hit with one hand because it could lead to injuries but there’s a float served aim right at me and it turned. I got it with one hand so really have to come decide one to use it last year some people on my team just used it to act cool cause they wanted to be able to control the ball with one hand as well as I could cause they told me that so, if you’re also just try not to hit with one hand unless it’s actually necessary
Is it too late if I start playing at the age of 15 or 16(class 9,10) it's nothing but then im thinking of how to start basically im a bit shy of how I'll start what will people think of me and a bit insecure bout that. Ive been loving this sport since long and wanting to play but i dont know from where to start.I always think its very important to play atleast one sport so please give me some ideas of how to start.
dont be ashamed, just start! you might feel insecure, because its REALLY hard to play volleyball. start with a rec league and some clinics at a local club. if you feel too behind to play club or for school, there are plenty of other fun things to do!
Hi Koko! i’ve been playing volleyball for some time now, and just bought some nike air max 270s. do you recommend them? i’ve heard that they pop but i’m not sure if i should return them .. thanks!
We have some new people in volleyball who pop up when they pass and I don’t really say anything because the coaches always remind them. I wanna be that person but whenever I started, I definitely popped up but then I figured out what works for me and how I can feel comfortable so now I never pop up and when I do, it’s when the ball is literally close to my chest and it was like a float serve but either way I either like I get it up high enough So
I’m going into 9th grade and i wanna play volleyball but i don’t know so do u have to be skinny to play? i’m not super skinny but i’m not fat either i’m in the middle but still with a belly, any tips?
Not rlly, learn the game, play the game, make sure you’re committed. If u fall in love w the volleyball then you’ll probably get skinnier by proxy. Form follows function. Work hard, u got this
Hi! I’m in 9th grade and think about trying out for jv bc I’m just now realizing I like the sport, any tips? I’m a beginner and want to try out sophomore year. Also I’m 5’9 if that means anything
OH MY GOSH HIIIII! I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING VOLLEYBALL I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO SERVE AND I LOOKED ON YOUR CHANNEL AND I GOT IT SO WELL. NOW IM SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IN NY SERVES! THANK YOU SO MUCHH ❤🫶🏾
I'm in grade 8th right now and I'm just learn playing Valley ball. I don't have any partner or someone help me. I wish someone would help with my training.
I have a chance to play in the volleyball team but i need to learn basics Cuz the coach said learn in a week me who never plays tries for Training numbur 1 Doing all wrong second training doing drills at home At the court Messed up 4 times day 3 good But i never pancake bro my chest will hurt or my Belly ooouuug
"Popping up" at the heels* is better than flailing your arms at the ball. And who has ever been tempted to serve with their knuckles?? 😆 is this a troll video?
When you pop up it means that your not low and in ready position to play defence. It can also mean that you are doing backward movement instead of going forward, this will cause the play to go straight up rather than go forward and to target. This can be fixed by staying low and ready, and by ALWAYS going forward when passing a ball.
Jesus is coming soon! We are all sinners . We've all fallen short of His glory. The wages of sin is death (hell) that's what we all deserve. God is just, and because of that, He must punish evil. Jesus came and took our punishment and died (but rose again 3 days later) for our sins. All we have to do is repent and trust in Jesus Christ then we will receive the gift of eternal life in heaven . Time is ticking, but it hasn't ran out ❤️
I’m going into 8th grade and I think I’m gonna start playing volleyball. Everyone on the volleyball team is a few years ahead of me. Any tips on catching up?
practice passing with someone in your family or against a wall to help you get the feel of it, and go to open gyms/lifting'ect
wanna be friends? i’m in the same situation as you!
i’m in the same situation ! wanna be friends??
i would probably recommend passing against the wall or with a friend (or even by yourself), practice diving (if you’re gonna be a libero), and practicing overhand/underhand serving
Oh my gosh same so am I, except I play volleyball in 5th and 6th grade for two seasons but I have played since…but I’m starting up again
number one: let me on the court
me too
literally. i’m always off
Gosh same
same
Lol
This is very true coming from a volleyball player but if your a stronger server with you buckle make sure it is tucked in your palm tightly to avoid injury
New Players as soon as they learn to pancake: MUST PANCAKE EVERYTHING!!!
OMG!! Coacharite!! So true tho pancaking is so fun 😂❤
Artie ❤😂
PLEASE NEVER EVER IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES SERVE WITH YOUR KNUCKLES!! I have been plying volleyball for 7 years now and I have only once served with my knuckles (this was when I was beginning), I served the ball and the force of my wrist against the ball resulted in me breaking my wrist, has to sit out the WHOLE SEASON so big no no. It’s not worth it! Don’t ever say it will give you more power because it won’t, serve with good contact and control and you have a powerful serve!
hello what if I’m serving in the middle of my knuckles ? Like I put my hand in a fist and do u see the middle flat parts? Those
AND, Sliding on your knee pads when CLEARLY you are in the perfect position to set, bump etc…
Bro I was playing a game last year on a court that was slippery and when I dug for the ball I slid and I didn’t even mean to 😭😭
It doesnt hurt anyone to slide and its way better to get under the ball than standing lmao
I just trip half the time and the body slam half the time 😭😭
My worst fear is people getting annoyed with me and thinking I’m doing this when I’m not I just fall a lot 😅
i pop while passing way to much it’s my worst habit 😭
Same, I’m getting better at not doing it tho
Same! It really hurts when you pop it😭
Whats popping when receiving? I dont get it
@@jeremydupas me neither lmao
@@jeremydupas i think she means when you jump a little to pass which gives unnecessary height

Serving with fist you can do! It’s great for starters learning how to overhand serve. You just need to be able to control it
Number 1: put me as middle blocker
ME FR.

I’m a complete newbie and just starting out at volley ball. Today I learned how to set and pass. Any tips?
honestly, dont be overconfident and be coachable. you will get so far with that. start with the basics and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! you got this!!
@@Itz_hannah529 omg thats so funny to me. Finished my first volleyball season. Honestly so
Proud of how much ive grown and learned. Tahnks for the tip btw
I have my last day of tryouts tomorrow! Wish me luck!!
how’d it go?
@@alyssa5914 I made it!
@@mikio6215 CONGRATS 🥳
Hey Coach Koko! I have been having some trouble with diving, and I seem to land on my stomach a lot… Do you (or anyone else) happen to have advice for me? 😃
Lunge into your dive, and kinda slide. Then roll quickly to get up.
Thank you! 😄
@@kaissamsungsmartfridge886 thank u so much I needed that too!
Use your forearms to leads you into the dive and kind of “catch yourself” that will make the impact a lot less
I just slide
I would over hand serve without my knuckles but I don’t have enough strength, any tips?

What about scooping cause I had to run 10 laps for scooping
I love diving//pancaking though... Eveen if it was totally unnecessary plus no one else on my team does
And another combination: stealing someone’s ball and then making the ball fly into the wall, and yelling how someone else should have gotten the ball. YES MELISSA IM TALKING ABOUT YOU

Thank’s For The Help i need to practice
You are supposed to pop and use your legs to create more power in your passes...
Number one: making me a setter
i’ll be glad to take that spot
Is it too late if I start playing at the age of 15 or 16(class 9,10) it's nothing but then im thinking of how to start basically im a bit shy of how I'll start what will people think of me and a bit insecure bout that.

Yes I’ve been in volleyball since my 8th grade and my pet peeve for a new incomers to hit underhand with open knuckles

I wanna be that person but whenever I started, I definitely popped up but then I figured out what works for me and how I can feel comfortable so now I never pop up and when I do, it’s when the ball is literally close to my chest and it was like a float serve but either way I either like I get it up high enough So
i had a coach a few years back on a rec league that wanted us to pancake if it was below our waists which is so unnecessary.
one question; can we really do a float serve with a fist?
I feel like a close one is also interlocking your fingers to pass
I have a tournament this weekend is there any thing I should be expecting?
What does popping up when passing mean?
I have a habit of pancaking/diving when I don’t need to
I pop to go backwards before the ball comes to me so that my contact is good is that still OK or is it still a no no
I’m going into 9th grade and i wanna play volleyball but i don’t know so do u have to be skinny to play? i’m not super skinny but i’m not fat either i’m in the middle but still with a belly, any tips?

@@rainieroquialda5380 Thank u so much! This is really helpful i’m super glad u help me
The knuckle is mostly for sand
What are they wearing on their ankles in the photo in "popping up" part of the video?
What brand is the girl on the left using?
Hi! I’m in 9th grade and think about trying out for jv bc I’m just now realizing I like the sport, any tips? I’m a beginner and want to try out sophomore year. Also I’m 5’9 if that means anything
after playing volleyball my arms are really hurting whenever I hit the ball. any tips for recovery?
OH MY GOSH HIIIII! I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING VOLLEYBALL I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO SERVE AND I LOOKED ON YOUR CHANNEL AND I GOT IT SO WELL. NOW IM SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IN NY SERVES! THANK YOU SO MUCHH ❤🫶🏾
Knuckle serves do way more power, but are less acurate. Also you'll only get hurt if your a baby so if you dont have much power, use them."
I have to serve with my knuckles my fingers lock and hurts so much 😭😭
How do I stop popping up when I pass?
And run with your hands to hit the ball just run and hit it
The knuckle serving is cap it doesn’t hurt anything or hurt anyone
im in the JV team at my school and honestly i serve w my knuckles and it works better
Number one: put me in a match
Number 2: put me as setter
Nah number 3 is called the rolling thunder it’s very important to win.
What do you mean by popping up?
I think she meant that when you bump the ball your whole body kinda bounces up because of your knees
Not me diving all the time because my slow reaction time 😂😂😂
Reasons?
I don't agree with n3 as you should always try, unless you get hurt when u do it
I'll pancake whenever I want💅
Omg I coach middle school and as soon as they learn how to dive it is all they want to do.
Get to the ball... Or get to the line.... 🤣🤣
Hit underhand. You lose control over ball.
So true ❤
“Overhand serve with a knuckle”
4th grade me: Say whaaaaat?
11th grade and I am going to the try out tomorrow
That was 1 year ago now I am a senior and I made the team 😭
Another one: padding with one arm trying to "save it" when you really don't need top. Only do it if it is an emergency.. My setter does this...
Please help i jammed my finger yesterday in my volleyball tournament and it still hurts
I have a habit of popping up
another major thing is you CANNOT move with your hands together
I fall victim of unnecessarily diving/pancaking 💀if the ball is like 3 feet in front of me I’ll just throw myself onto the floor basically
Popping up?
i think she means kind of standing up when you’re passing, instead try to back up. i’m sort of a beginner so i’m not sure
popping up - like going up when you pass and like not staying low
I'm in grade 8th right now and I'm just learn playing Valley ball. I don't have any partner or someone help me. I wish someone would help with my training.
I don’t get what you mean by popping
bro our libero does this, she pancakes/ dives even when she can get to the ball and it has cost us a few points.
Actually the number one thing is DONT TALK BACK TO YOUR COACH!
I have a chance to play in the volleyball team but i need to learn basics Cuz the coach said learn in a week me who never plays tries for Training numbur 1 Doing all wrong second training doing drills at home At the court Messed up 4 times day 3 good But i never pancake bro my chest will hurt or my Belly ooouuug
number 1: let me serve
Number 1 - let me play back row. Im a middle, i can NOT pass
you should be able to at least attempt every skill. i hate the middles on my team that claim “i cant serve because i play middle”
@@Itz_hannah529 lol i can hold my own on defense, its just funny to joke about thats all
Number one: stop making me set
I’m trying out tomorrow I’m scared
#1: putting me as the libero
Now I know why my wrist urts
Get to the ball 💀
CALL EM OUT KOKO
Is that Dachi in the thumbnail?
is that norman in the pfp?
People do that all the time
number 1: put me on serve receive
I dont get it
Whats pancake mean??
When you dive you stick your hand out on the floor, and the ball lands on your flat hand which gets the ball up.
@@Maddslovesvolleyball ooohhh okay thanks!! ✨
@@jeseewilson1857 ofc!
i do all 3. regularly. proudly.
If it’s a free ball I shouldn’t pop up the pass? Bruh
POV: it’s Gym volleyball
Wdym no unnecessary pancakes? Thats a must???
I'm the second one 😭 I'm so sorry-
WOAH IM SO EARLY
Im at 5th grade but i like to pancake and toast actuelly im pancaking in stone😭
"Popping up" at the heels* is better than flailing your arms at the ball.
And who has ever been tempted to serve with their knuckles?? 😆 is this a troll video?
get to the ball😂😂
nah but fr the pancaking IS SO ANNOYING if you need to do that id rather you use your feet
Pancake?
BRO HOW THE HECK DO I NOT POP THE BALL UP!!!!

It can also mean that you are doing backward movement instead of going forward, this will cause the play to go straight up rather than go forward and to target.
