Upon review, however, I was disappointed. The second half where they are using balls in strength and conditioning work I&#8217;m fine with. There are some good elements there. They don&#8217;t specifically require a volleyball, but since you have them at hand, why not use them?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first half, however, I found to be utterly useless. You will understand my reasons if you read my comments in <a title=\"Are your volleyball warm-ups wasting valuable time?\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/are-your-warm-ups-wasting-valuable-time\/\">Are your warm-ups wasting valuable time?<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pr\u00e9pa physique VB Ballon.wmv\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oZjWssQ8hrM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jogging, as I noted in the referenced post, is of little value to volleyball players. Now these guys are adding in silly things like spins. And what&#8217;s this stuff with tossing the ball up in the air? The only real attempt to have anything volleyball-like in there is the bits where the players mix in some sets and forearm passes. The mechanics of those skills, though, are poor &#8211; making their inclusion worse than useless. They are reinforcing bad habits, effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to have players moving and executing ball-handling skills then have them move in a volleyball-like fashion (shuffles, transition footwork, short runs, etc.).&nbsp;And have them execute those skills with proper technique &#8211; especially when dealing with young and developing players. Things like jog-and-set or jog-and-pass might be good to mix things up in a big camp or to have a bit of fun (team shuttles, etc.), but are not for use on any kind of regular basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volleyball coaches and trainers may have the right motivation when developing warm-up routines and the like, but this video is an example of what to avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[331,394,435,489],"class_list":["post-901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-practice-planning","tag-volleyball-training-plan","tag-volleyball-conditioning","tag-volleyball-practice-planning","tag-warm-up"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
