He does not sound boring....he is being clear and concise as he realizes there is alot of information. Did you want to learn or be entertained? I'll tell you what...i was entertained...because i actually learned alot. Thank you very much for the video.

[@blazermedia2]

Thanks Kenneth. It was fun to make and I would change a few things...namely the stereo output. :-) Glad the info helped. Good luck in volleyball. It's a great game!

No, i wouldnt call this a basic guide, but yes, this is the best educational volleyball video i have ever watch. I dont know why making something like this is so hard. Instant like

[@reecebradberry3670]

Thank you so much for this video I want to try out for volleyball but I needed to know about it. I loved the information your voice was just dry and a bit boring. But on the upside you saved my life by making this. 🙏

[@reecebradberry3670]

I looove this video

[@tatyanabaez464]

Right I almost feel asleep😂

[@christinekno]

Thank you for this video. It is very precise and helpful. Most videos only give basic rules but you really went in depth. I’ll update you when I become a great volleyball player!

[@arreola891]

Have you become a great volleyball player?

[@jaycruz2533]

only when you're fully understand what it means to be a volleyball player and learn from it. I promise you it's not hard to learn.

[@bigtiddiedrias9860]

I want to join the volleyball team for my high school and I want to be good at it but I don’t know since I’m starting so late ;-;

[@surbhikharche2317]

i still didnt get the rotation pattern.. its so confusing.. it is like in clockwise direction that is okay but then who replaces who and when i didnt get that.. still i understood whether anyone moves in any direction they must not break the sequence 123456.. but still it is confusing me that who actually does recieving the ball when it comes back to serving side court and passes to right hitter position occupying person.. and also, at the ttime of hitting who sctually occupies hitter position?? how they rotates after serving.. it is confusing big big big big n bigger to me..

[@oliveoil3294]

i have no idea what he said

[@dansdimple1539]

My serve is my worst quality in volleyball 😂

[@deevinay]

Actually it’s the opposite for me. Serving is one of the only things I’m actually good at 😂

[@hi-zu4el]

[@Sunny-ky7tb]

I suck at serves too :C

[@skylunaa]

i've gotten it over the net like..3 times

[@hashimhamsack]

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO THANK YOU FOR UPLOAD. CHEERS.... :-)

[@blazermedia2]

Appreciate the comment!

[@joselynromero1890]

To anyone who is getting ready to try out for any volleyball team please read this!!!! I hope this is the SIGN to work hard and try out!!!!! In ninth grade and in 10th grade before tryouts I would start conditioning with all the volleyball girls I have never played volleyball before but I was so fascinated by it and every day I would watch videos like these on KZbin to learn more about it and I even had my own Pinterest board I really fell in love with it and honestly I probably wasn’t even that good and every time I went to conditioning I saw that the other girls were really good or girls that had been in the game for a while and I was intimidated I thought I wasn’t good enough and I thought. I would never get better so both years I quit right before tryouts...Now I am 21years old I graduated three years ago and I still to this very day regret not trying out because I thought I wasn’t good enough and I’m still obsessed with volleyball so if you’re watching this and you have the opportunity to try out and you feel like you’re not good enough or you’re looking around and you feel like there are other people that are better KEEP TRYING and KEEP PRACTICING and make sure to tryout don’t quit and then have regret years later.

[@rayhonamakhmudjanova5760]

I watched this for p.e (gym) thank you for the info

[@paris7780]

he sounds so boring and dry, and on top of that all this information is too much, my brain might bust.

[@blazermedia2]

I'll try to be more chipper in the next one. 😆

[@Xwhat-ux2df]

Jeez. If you don’t like the video, go. It’s not even about how he sounds, it’s about learning? Like are you really that dense? Also, if it’s too much info, find another video. This is their video, they can put as much info as they want into THEIR video.

[@paris7780]

Homo Yaoyorozu dude I said this like four years ago 😂😂 practically a kid and I been left a long time ago....Ppl get offended too easily 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

[@paris7780]

[@paris7780]

yara I’m immature but you’re out here replying to KZbin comments made 5 years ago. If he was offfened he’d take the comment down #respectfully 😅df

Great job explaining the basics!!

[@cuteeyezlegette1928]

I was still confused.... didn't understand much...of the rules...I got lost when he started talking about set n numbers.smh

[@robattles8300]

Thanks, I try out tomorrow and I hope I make it

[@neptune4200]

Volleyball has the most complicating rules I've ever seen

[@peetre]

I have played 45 years. You can play it fun, and simple, or, if you want to win, you need to learn the advanced stuff.

[@babysivan8235]

Thanks so much for this!

[@emmasmithers7001]

I just excepted the job of being a team manger for my schools jv and varsity volleyball teams, with them know ik very little to none about volleyball and this video is really making me nervous. I will only be helping out with practices but also keeping score so im really nervous about how its going to turn out. Thank you for posting this video because i did learn alot. Like i didnt know what a libro was and the names for the positions on the court. Its a start to a very long journey of learning.

[@blazermedia2]

Keep at it. Shoot me a question if it ever arises. Glad you are taking up the sport as a manager...one step from becoming a coach. :-)

[@harmonymorse704]

So amazing! Loved this video! Helped me understand rotation much better! Thanks so much!

Liana Nicole Why don't you try a church league? I'm a volleyball coach at my church and my girls are all different but it's just for fun and exercise. They are all Christian girls and I've only ever heard them laugh at me. (Which is perfectly appropriate bc I'm silly sometimes.) I hope you know the Lord, if you don't, I would highly recommend it. He is the best friend you could ask for.

[@bromaniakat]

Did you make the team?

[@yesiamverykrunchy2355]

I joined volleyball even though I know little about the sport though I enjoyed playing.

[@fatealdo]

[@trinityshockome5161]

I literally have a 1 in 8 chance of it being a perfect serve... other than that it doesn't even make it to the net or sometimes hits🤦‍♀️

[@shiva1742]

I don't think he mentioned that if the ball is contacted by one of the blockers as it comes across the net, it does not count as one of the three allowed contacts with the ball.

[@blazermedia2]

You're absolutely correct.
