Ethan Lawrence Samonte depends on your league! For women’s highschool, you’re definitely on the shorter side. But hey, if you’ve got the vertical. I’m 5’11” with a killer vertical, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t hit for shit

could you do a series for libero training? i’m a libero and i rly want to get better love ur videos victoria!!

[@heyitsme669]

What is a libero and what do they do? I’m going into my 2nd year of middle school VB but haven’t learned about that yet.

[@Klondikeba]

Natalie H a libero is a player that wears a different colored jersey and they only play in the back row. They also don’t count as a sub. A libero is the best defensive player on the team. Libero need to know how to have good passing accuracy and be able to dig and read hitters, so if you want to specialize in defense, keep working!

[@artifex_amatuer3124]

I used to be an outside hitter but this season, my coaches told me to play middle because there were people in my team who couldn't really play middle since they were quite short and can't block yet. I used to hate middle but now I really love it!

"In club if you don't dig it like on the setter's head..." the TRUTH omg hahaha

[@esmeraldaalvarez1640]

I seriously love hitting! my coach put me on libero when i have always hated passing .

[@mello6176]

If you contribute to your team, your coach might put you on hitting. Even though you may not like it, training to get better at passing will prove that you are good and if you also improve on your hitting at the same time you may earn your spot on the front row. The girl on my team is libero just because she is really bad and fails on purpose because she wants to be on front row (she doesn't train for anything btw, can't jump, serve, pass, and for goodness sake can't hit because she doesn't practice AT ALL and I have no clue how she got on the team) but she has the worst attitude. It doesn't matter if you don't have the position you want either because you learn to love all positions. I wanted to become a setter last year but I was placed as libero and I LOVED it, then the next year I wanted to be a libero and I became a hitter. I love this job too, you just need time to adjust to it.

[@haileyking8421]

Same

[@dariuss.4487]

Same but passing is AMAZING!!!! I love it SOOO much, because everything is serve receive. But hitting is great because well you pummel the ball and get all the praise for a good kill. But it starts with a pass; DEFENSE FIRST😩!!

[@roxypadon1408]

Sameeee! Im a libero too but I love hitting my coach said I better than our spikers but Im the best the passing and digging

[@bezadawite4459]

Oh my goodness so I’m a middle and I never got a good set but I’ve always tried to make the best but I normally couldn’t so I feel really discouraged when it comes to hitting but then again I don’t know how I should practice by myself. I also was had a negative team so it didn’t make me feel any better

She makes it look so easy!😂 this shows how hard she works.

AAaaaah so excited to watch this were are my outsides at? also didn't notice at first but isn't this a re upload?

[@alqcrxity1325]

I got a question for an outside, you know how if you were in middle back and you stepped on the 10 foot line (i think thats what its called) it wouldn't count, but i saw that the outside didnt need to jump over the line. So does that rule not apply for outsides?

[@annettes.4721]

Jireh Leal are you talking about the rule that back row can’t jump above the ten foot line. because if so outside is front row so the can jump. middle back is back row so cannot.

[@alqcrxity1325]

@@annettes.4721 yeah that's what im talking about but say you're left back, can you jump?

[@vvveraaa]

This year I started playing competitive club volleyball middle school, and I wanted to be a setter at first.. But when I made the team, my coach told me I was good at hitting. So I went with the flow and became an outside hitter, but I'm not very good, and my timing is inconsistent, so I def needed this. Though I really love hitting now, it's so satisfying to hit the ball. Thank you so much Victoria for this video! I know I'm 4 years late, but still so helpful! 🥺❤💕🏐

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Since my tryouts literally started today and I'm gonna take all the advice for sure 🥺❤

Thanks sm Victoria for this video!! It really helped me with my approach/ footwork. I am playing for my school and my coach tells me that I have good hands and that i will be my teams setter.. well that would be fine buttt my goal is to be a hitter, and right now I’m working on hitting the ball fast and hopefully straight down to the floor!! I’ve replayed the parts where Brooke is hitting and I hope that I can learn some great things from her, you, and this video!!!💕

[@OfficialVicJayy]

A great Point brought up was ANGLE on the outside hit. That's real. Because having a spacious angle could be the key to the next level especially if you're jumping high because most outside hitters are jumping same gathers unless you're left handed or right handed so being able to angle the ball off in an advanced manner will get it done vs the outside blockers

[@kayla4769]

hello to my wonderful lefty outside hitters. love you guys, we're superior imo. as someone who's been a lefty outside for 6 years now, you basically do your approach starting with the opposite foot. also, instead of turning your hips towards the inside of the court, you want to face the pin and close your torso and hips to the right to get that core power. don't hook across your body, swing straightand swing all the way through, i promise you have room and won't hit the net. you want your approach to be from the same spot, bit instead of moving diagonal, you start where the 10 foot line and the side line meet, and take a straight on approach. have fun with it! once you nail a cross court shot, switch it up and try some line shots or feints. theyre really fun and add a lot of variation to your play!!

I was literally searching for this vid yesterday is that normal? Like she just re-uploaded it 14 hours ago

[@OfficialVicJayy]

Also another thing I noticed is a lot of people get dizzy in the rotations because it's so fast paced. Slowing down the game film will help the foot work and techniques and I believe make it easier on the athletes ligaments so they won't get twisted in the eyes and mind

[@emilytruong2241]

Such a big inspiration 🥰🥰🥰

[@nukf]

Victoria, I'm new in volley and i'm still learning the rules. I learned that who's on the back row, you can't attack inside the 3m line. The 4:10 approach was legal?

[@mrzukunft]

In that case, she was in the front row. Whether you're in back row or front row depends not on where you're standing on court, but rather on the rotation of the team. 3 players are in front row, 3 in back row.

Hello @VictoriaGarrick, @Brooke, thank you for the excellent video. Is there any chance to explain the same things for a left-handed? Especially the 3 angles of spike and the movement on the side from a pass and from block? I am playing on the same spot, same position but left handed... If I have to repeat what Brook’s doing, I should change to the other side (behind the setter). But if it is not the case, what should I do? Thank you!

Hey, I'm an eighth grader going into ninth this fall, and I've never played volleyball before, but I've fallen in love with the sport.

[@lidiahhoffarth9718]

Supernova67 I would say to get a friend or maybe even a player from your school’s volleyball team and practice simple things used in volleyball. That being said, since you have your eye on the libero position maybe try lots of passing drills. Don’t forget to work on serving, hitting, and setting too as your future coach may put you in a spot you weren’t expecting yourself to do. Hope this helps
