Coaching of Volleyball
History of Volleyball
The history of volley ball is rich with roots spreading more than 100 years ago. The
origin of the sport can be traced back in 1895 in the united states of America when William G.
Morgan decided to fuse elements of several sporting disciplines to give rise to volleyball
(Volleyball Worldwide). More than three sports were thought of in coming up with the game
such as basketball, baseball, handball and tennis in an effort to create a game that would be of
less contact that the then popular sports. William was an instructor at the Men’s Christian
Association (YMCA) and it was due to the classes he had that he opted to create this game that
would be suitable for the businessmen in he instructed. The intentions were for the game to be
played indoors within the confines of a gymnasium but could also fit well while playing in an
outdoor situation. The ball was to be kept in the air crossing two sides of a net suspended slightly
six feet from the ground. Most of the rules that were established by Morgan have since been kept
intact up to the current times. The game started with the ball being served from one side of the
net towards the opponent side then the opponents would not allow the ball to hit the ground and
return it back to the opposite side. Play would continue with the ball being passed back and forth
with scoring being registered in the instance the ball hits the ground.
The spread of the sport would be attributed to the US soldiers during the second world
war across the rest of Europe. It is worth noting that similar to the United States, Japan and
Ghandourah 2
Russia also started volleyball associations nationally in the year 1920 (Volleyball Worldwide).
Other nations in Europe followed suit and soon started recognizing the sport at the national level
as well. On a global level, it is worth noting that the three nations; japan, United states and
Russia have been forces to reckon with in the sport exuding dominance all along the history of
competitive games since being acknowledged nationally.
My Coaching Philosophy
In establishing the coaching principles, it is worth noting that it is necessary that the
beliefs of setting the foundation are based off the setting up of a system. This is in line with
strength and consistency that would allow a structure that can be adhered to for a successful
program. One should set to have a positive impact on the players under their development as a
mission reflecting core values intended. In most situations, the coach acts as a role model to the
athletes therefore a formidable philosophy would go a long way in establishing long-term
relationships that would facilitate various levels of success on and off the field.
One of the most important considerations is that the development of players is always key
in setting the path to success rather than only making considerations for winning. The decisions
made should first consider the wellbeing of the athletes then improvement that would necessitate
winning following. This is not to state that winning is not to be of much importance, but that all
situations should be enjoyable to guide into more satisfaction in winning.
In establishing a relationship with the players, it is important that the aspect of respect is
developed. This is necessary in facilitating guidance and development. Bearing in mind that it is
a team sport, it is also imperative that even among the athletes, respect is fostered so that
corporation can be enabled in the court. Communication will in essence become much easier
with aspects of administering discipline within the team being enhanced in more ways than one.

Taking responsibility for the team is also key. It sets ground for aspects of hard work to be
cultured in addition to passion for the game. As everyone seeks to make contributions at their
own level, aspects of encouragement should be built to allow for positive addition to the team.
Everyone’s roles should always be treated as being of importance to build confidence among the
players and allow positive energy to flow in the team. At the end of the day, learning should be
facilitated through the necessary structures put in place so that technique can be featured in play.
Another Coach’s Professional Coaching Philosophy (John Forman)
Process Precedes Performance
The foundation of sustained success is a mentality of continuous improvement at all levels of the
program, and in every individual. This shifts the focus away from current performance and frees
everyone to pursue growth and learning. It also creates better alignment toward goals and fosters
a positive dynamic. More broadly, it allows for adaptation to change.
Respect Given is Respect Earned
We should at all times seek to be worthy of respect. Being worthy of respect starts with giving
respect. Those who respect the other members of the program and everyone associated with it,
who respect the institution and the community, and who respect the game and their opponents
earn that respect right back.
Team Level Principles
It’s About the Players, Not Me
Coaching is about being in service to others, not yourself. My job is to do everything I can to
help those I coach grow, develop, and succeed – no more, no less.
Everyone is a Key Contributor
Ghandourah 4
We all play an important part in the success or failure of the team. The fact that some members
may have a more prominent role at times does not change this.
Positivity in Both Directions
It is important that we support each other in a positive, constructive way. It’s equally important
for each of us to accept the same in return.
Every Team is Different
I coach based on the current team’s unique composition. This is the only way to maximize its
potential
Only Communicated and Enforced Expectations Matter
We can only get what we expect if we set forth those expectations and ensure that they are
always lived up to in practice – on and off the court.
Coaching Principles
The More I Talk, the Less They Learn
Coaching is not lecturing. My job is to create a structure by which the players are able to
work on the techniques and tactics they need to continue their development. Then to let them get
on doing so with only as much interruption as is necessary.
Everything Starts with Priorities
Progress begins with identifying the needs, putting the most important things at the top of
the list, and working on them first. Most rapid progress requires being focused on your priorities
and not allowing other things to distract.
Playing Principles
Relentless Defense
We do not let balls hit the floor on our side of the court uncontested – ever!
Ghandourah 5
Intelligent Decision-Making
We will be aware of the situation and make the play with the best chance of success.
The Little Things Matter
We will always be in the moment, focused on our responsibility right now.

Scouting Report
Who are they?
The first thing of doing a scouting report is to find the teams that you
will be scouting on, and know their players. There are teams with midaged players, there are teams with young college kids. That very little
thing would tell you something already. Mid-aged teams may mean they
have been playing for a while, they maybe more experienced in handling
net balls, drop shots, yet they may also mean that they are here just for
fun. As for young teams, it may mean that they are inexperienced, yet it
may also mean that they are full of energy, athletic, and you may not
want to play long rally against them. How about a team with
international players, players from all races? Well, you will have to read
them one by one, see what they are good at, where are their
weaknesses, how do I beat their defense, or even their offense?
What formation?
If a team is playing 5-1(or 6-2, 4-2), and everyone of them seems to
know their tasks. That tells me they are experienced, at least on their
assigned positions. If you can find a player or two in this team that seem
confused or other players are constantly reminding him/her what to do,
you have found their weakest link. Hitting the ball to the confused
player on their team will break their rhythm. If they are playing 5-1 or
6-2, there would be time that the setter is running from behind a player
to the front row to set; the location where the setter is behind the player
is where you want your players to serve to.
Individual Skills
Looking at every player on the team and find out their habits. Does the
setter like to tip? Does certain player do something special? Is there any
player who do not like to move his/her feet or standing tall while
receiving? Things like jump serves, great top spin spikes but low over
the net, players defense high up, not playing deep, etc. are examples of
things to look for.
Key Offensive Player
If you spot a key offensive play on the team, can your defense beat him?
If you can, you may already have a strategy in mind, if not, what can you
do to slow him down? The more you know about this player, the higher
the chance you will have in beating him in the future. Get to know more
about the key player and you should be able to find some pattern on this
player. Some players like to hit cross, some like to avoid the blockers.
Some like to hit the blockers hands, some like to tip when there are two
blockers. Try to read them as much as you can and come up with a game
plan to play against their hitters. If you can defend 50% the opponent’s
hits, you may increase your chances of winning the match.
Game Plan
So now you know enough about your opponent team, what can you do
to beat them? There are two ways to beat a team. One, play your best
games. By playing your best games, win or lose, you have no regrets, you
may even surprise yourself that you can play better than you think you
can.
Two, make your opponent team play your game plan. This requires a
game plan. For example, serve strong, and serve opponents weakness;
pick their weakest passer to serve to, or serve your best serves to force
errors, make the opponents play out-of-system. If the opponent team
plays 5-1, then you focus your attack on their setter when he is in the
back row. This way, you take out their quick offense in the middle, so
you can focus on their OH and Opp.
