Hi, my name is Lindsey Lampert, I am with Northern Virginia Volleyball Association and today I am teaching you how to play volleyball. Right now, I am going to teach you how to pass.

In volleyball, everything starts with the pass, so, it is crucial to have proper passing technique and form. Nicole and Lindsey are going to help me demonstrate this now, for passing, your feet needs to be a little bit more than shoulder width apart. You knees need to be bent; your butt needs to be out and your back needs to be straight and you need to be relaxed on the balls of your feet. When you are waiting to pass, your arms could be hanging in front of you comfortably. When you are about to pass, you put your arms together, please remember do not intertwining your fingers. What I want you to do is take one fist and cross the other hand over it. The goal is to make the flattest possible surface with your arms, this is called the platform. The goal is to pass everything on your platform from here to here, so the flatter that this surface is, the better your pass is going to be.

Now, Nicole and Lindsey are going to demonstrate passing back and forth. The one thing to remember when you are passing or anything in volleyball is to communicate, call the ball. There are going to be six other people on the court with you and communication is key, so you are not running into each other. Now, this is how they move behind the ball, they are not reaching, they are moving their feet. Notice, how they are calling mine every single time. Notice how their arms stay, straight out in front of them. Now, I am going to teach you how to set.

    Deans Pool Tips Body Stroke and Positioning

    For those of you who are new to the game, these tips are not intented to coach players who already have a good stroke and use english in their pool game. Recently I have received some negative comments from those players who apparently do not understand english and most likely are not comfortable with their stroke. There are some fundamentals you must learn before attempting more advanced techniques such as; english, masse, jump shots etc... you can not build a house on sand, build your foundation first before moving on to your advanced game and "Good Luck" - Thanks for watching "Dean's Pool Tips." and is available on DVD at http://mypooltv.com
