Olympic Gold Medalist Pat Powers has developed a learning method that can teach you how to master the game of volleyball over a short two-day span at a summer volleyball camp near you!

Take a quick test and ask yourself these critical questions:

1. Do you jump up with your legs when you pass?
2. Do you hit balls into the net, or out when serving?
3. Do you hit balls from the shoulder when spiking?
4. Do you set the ball to your hitters?
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 when passing. It is how we control the ball and deal with power. We do not jump up from our knees to elevate the ball.

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.

How do I achieve such high results?

Simple. First I give you the theory of each skill and how it relates to a high level of play. Typically there are several things players do that keep them from achieving the next level. Then I "Over-Correct" your movement to get you into the right position. Next we do a drill using the over-corrections and then finish by playing "Volleyball Survivor."

What is Volleyball Survivor?

Survivor is the essence of the clinic! It is a simple King/Queen of the court volleyball game I have designed to get you doing the Over-Corrections while you are playing. It is a highly effective (and Challenging!) method of teaching you the skills of the game.

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 issue for all palyers. Typically we have one court of adults and junior boys, one court of junior girls and one court of novice players.
