I am starting a volleyball unit soon for grades 4-5. What would be a great sequenced skill lesson for introducing vball (bump first?) Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Teach them the proper way to stand and make a platform. Have them work in pairs or groups. Them one person tosses and the other passes. Work on passing the ball to the tosser while they hold their hands high for a target. I would work on side-to-side passing and short passes. the next thing I would teach would be the serve. Them team work-calling the ball. I coach volleyball 7-12 grade girls but i coached my daughters at the boys club,7 years-11 years, and they got it after two weeks. you can email me if you need any more help.

Yes bump first, I think. What age are you coaching? I have some 'non-sting' balls which I always use when introducing volleyball. They are great for bumping - not easy to control, but they do the job. And they don't hurt!

1)demonstrate proper ready position and hand/arm position.
2)contact and follow-thro
3)each student gets a balloon a) how long and times can they bump the balloon, "Do not let your balloon touch the ground ".
b) same as a) but move around gym or space., c) students move from balloon to balloon , bumping them up, they cannot return to their balloon until they bump 5 other balloons. "keep them high off the ground." ask students "why must we bump high"
4)get beachballs for each student repeat #3 a)b) and c)or invent your own ideas.ie."how MANY times can you BUMP the ball in 30 sec."
5)depending on the skill levels, some might like to use beachballs, or training(oversized)balls or official sized balls of dif colors and textures. a)bump to self spell name or"bump".b)use wall, c) partner d)partner plus nets( use dif nets at dif heightsie.badminton)
6)all sport involves movement,so you may want to teach forw,back,lat.
good luck Mike

The county that I teach in has redone the physical education course of study. Under the section titled volleyball, a game called Newcomb Volleyball is listed. I have searched in all of my texts and resources and I have yet to find any reference to Newcomb Volleyball. Would anyone be able to help me out and briefly describe this lead up game or tell me where I can find some information.

When starting a volleyball lesson I would begin by working on passing. Teach the student about a wide base of support and arm positioning. Passing is the key to the game so teaching the students the correct way is a very important starting point.You will want to demonstrate for them so they have a good visual an what the task is going to look like. Students work well in either pairs or groups of three when first learning the basic skills of volleyball. The pairs or groups should work on passing to each other continually to improve the basic skills. One way you could modify the activity to help students to be more successful would be using different types of balls to pass with. Another aspect you will want to impose on the students in the first lesson is the importance of communication in the game. Players need to work together and communicate to have a successful lesson.

In answer to Florence, Newcomb as I know it is played as a lead-up for volleyball. The way we play it is to throw and catch the ball over the net instead of hitting it. This enables players to learn their area of responsibility for court coverage. I think you can adapt it several ways, like having 3 players on a side touch(catch) it before it goes back over. We use it to try to get players to move towards the ball, and the object is to not let it hit the floor. Hope that helps. |

For my contribution I would encourage you to keep it simple, be careful not to create "paralysis by analysis", and create an enjoyable environment, especially with volleyball. As a former middle school, high school, and college coach, I believe we have to promote accurate skill development, but not at the risk of students losing interest. I believe the underhand serve should be taught very early as a means of putting the ball in play, along with a simple forearm pass (build a platform with hands together, arms straight, play the ball at a low level, etc.) Modifying equipment is also a key, depending on your level. I found the over-sized yellow or orange volleyball trainers, made specifically for volleyball, were very helpful with younger children. For games, use cooperation first, with the 2 sides trying to work together to keep the ball up and moving back and forth over the net. Perhaps 1 point for each 1st hit on a side, 2 points for a second hit, and 3 for each 3rd hit before the ball goes over the net. Perhaps using multiple "official scorers" to keep points can help facilitate thiis. Then one court of two teams could play against another court of two teams, trying to accumulate the highest score. Nets may not even be necessary, any way of dividing courts can become usefull. I even found a row of chairs dividing a space in half can serve as a "net" for some activities. I hope some of this helps. |

There are two drills that I learned during college that have helped me teach basic volleyball skills - bump and set. The progression of skill is most important. For the bump start with students kneeling. Have partner toss the ball to kneeling partner and kneeling partner bumps back. For a set have the students lay on their backs with their hands in the correct set position (triangle with thumb and pointer) on their forhead. Have their partner place the ball in their hands and then the lying student pushes the ball up. From there move to kneeling and then standing. |

When teaching volleyball you should start with using the correct terminology. I have been brought up through my nine years of playing volleyball that the term "passing" should be used instead of bumping. It just sounds better and anyway a bump used to be a type of dance. I would be very conscious on what size of ball is being used. The bigger the better because the students will not have very much control at first, and will probably have to spend a majority of the time chasing after the ball. If they develop faster than move to a smaller ball, but at the beginning use a bigger ball, like a beach ball. |

I’m a high school student and im doing a sciencefair on “Does technique affect the way you bump a volleyball?” according to my coach’s, knees bent and arms slightly bent( digging it) is the best way for bumping a volleyball. Now I need to get background information to support that idea. Like physics or proved by scientist or something. Can you give me a few examples or any ideas? Thanks. |

I am just finishing a volleyball elementary unit. I began with passing, second I taught serving, then third I taught setting. Cues for each skill were expressed to the students. I was very happy with how much they remembered from week to week. I only see students once per week, so I was very impressed. I chose not to teach the spike, for students' reaction is to usually spike or slap at the ball. If my unit was more than 3 weeks, I might consider teaching correct form for the spike. Concluding the last lesson of spiking, I taught the students modified volleyball game. On this day we also went over terminology and key rules such as scoring, rotation, how many times the ball can be touched by the team before it is returned over the net (up to 3), how many times the individual can touch the ball in a row (1), when to set (when ball is at above head), when to pass (when ball is at about waist level) (etc.). I would suggest using beach balls, for sudents have a higher success rate. |
