The VolleyPod is all about coaching kids volleyball!
Each episode we cover 3 segments that are each designed to help you become a better volleyball coach.
First, we focus on a specific volleyball skill, talk about how to teach it, and provide drills and video links for further help with that skill.
Then, we present a common coaching scenario and discuss tips for how to (and how not to) handle it.
In the third segment we share a resource that has helped us to become a better coach, with the hopes that it can help you too!
See you on The VolleyPod!

Helps me get centered
The podcast has helped a lot with drills and mindset training.
Great volleyball pod on coaching youth teams
Love this pod, I coach 8th grade volleyball and this year I am trying a 6-3 instead of a 5-1 rotation by position. No longer specializing positions or putting up a block when girls can’t jump high enough to block anyways. Keep up the good work, it’s appreciated!
Love it!
Great podcast-easy and quick listen with super practical tips and drills. Love the focus on cue words!
But a warning-if you listen in public you might find yourself practicing your arm swing, reaching high, passing platforms, etc.. 🤣 I’ve been caught testing out their strategies multiple times while out and about listening to this podcast! ☺️
