VBClinics.com is the nation's best place to learn the sport of volleyball! Two-day volleyball camps for junior high and high school volleyball players (ages 12-18) as well as adult players.

Coach Powers has developed a learning method that can teach you how to master the advanced skills of volleyball over a short amount of time.

What is for 2009? The Perfect Armswing! I have incorporated a new method of teaching players The Perfect Armswing! The best clinic change since Survivor and Over-Correction......

How about Skill Level?

One hour into the clinic I separate out the players by how hard they hit--it is a safety issue for me and a comfort level issue for all players. Typically we have one court of adults and junior boys, one court of junior girls and one court of novice players.

This volleyball camp is not about competition. Many volleyball camps divide up players and have them compete against eachother for hours at a time. This volleyball camp is about executing correct technique while you are playing. It is done through a unique process called "Survivor."

Here are some questions for you to think about:

Question #1. Do you jump up with your legs when you pass?
Question #2. Do you hit balls into the net, or out when serving?
Question #3. Do you hit balls from the shoulder when spiking?
Question #4. Do you set the ball to your hitters?
Question #5. Do you watch the ball when playing defense?

Here are the answers to the above questions....

Answer#1 Advanced players bend into the ball at the waist when passing. It is how we control the ball and deal with power.
Answer#2 If you are serving balls out or into the net, you are hitting the ball from the shoulder instead of snapping from your elbow.
Answer #3 75% of your power is generated from your elbow and wrist when spiking. You also get a phenomenon called "Extension" when you snap from your elbow.
Answer #4 Advanced players set the hitter not the ball. It is done by knowing what to watch when setting and keeping your hitters headed in the right direction.
Answer #5 There are three things we watch when we play defense: The hitter, the hitter and the hitter. We do not watch the ball or block.
