How can I start the game?

 

Game composition:

    1. Try to get the ball on the floor at the opposite site.
    2. When a child of you team has troth the ball over the net, the whole team keep turn one position.
    3. When a child drop the ball, troth the ball out or troth the ball into the net, he must leave the court. Those children take position beside the court in the sequence of leaving the court.
    4. When the ball hit the court, the child who is the closed to the ball must leave the court.
    5. When there are just two children left, the are still rotate or better, they change position when one of them troths the ball over the net.
    6. When one of the teams succeeds to play the opposite court empty, they've got 1 point. The whole game is starting all over again.
    7. The ball must troth over the net in one time, so it's not allowed to troth over to a player of your team.
    8. When the children are not sure which child must leave the court, it's on the coach to decide.


When is the game over?

The game is over when no one can catch the ball. So when the ball is out, or they have served the ball in to the net or they dropped the ball. The game is also over when the child who passed the ball could not catch his own ball. The one who could catch the ball leave the court. When some one play the ball badly, par example passed the ball en then the ball goes out, this player must also leave the game.

What is happened when the game is over?

    • When the game is 'over' they can started the game again with an underhand serve from any position in the court. The one who has the ball can serve the ball. Of course the ball may not hit the net.
    • It's again not allowed to walk with the ball


The counting:

When the court is empty, the team in the other court has 1point.

Is it allowed to come back in court?

Yes. When o child can play the ball with a forearm pass and another child from the same team can catch the ball, the first child in line may come back.

Recommendation:
You can get a lot of speed in the game when you ask the children to troth immediately after they catch the ball. You must stimulate them to throw the ball with a special way.

What's 'the special way'?

    1. They must troth the ball with two stretched arms (this is the basis movement for the forearm pass)
    2. They must push the ball from just above the head, over the net (this is the basis movement for the overhand pass)
    3. They may also throw the ball with one hand above the head (this is the basis movement for the spike)


Learning the underhand serve:

    1. When you are left handed, you're right foot is ahead.
    2. When you are right handed, you're left foot is ahead.
    3. You hit he ball with a straight arm. The hitting hand is like a fist.
    4. You must bent you knees slightly


Learning the forearm pass

    1. The arms are straight; they are as close together as the can, from shoulder to thumbs.
    2. You must play the ball with the inside of you arms.
    3. At the moment you hit the ball; you don't move your arms. The movement comes out of your legs.


Motivation:

In the lessons the forearm pass must be subject number 1. The forearm pass is the second skill children learn. The follow parts must be teach:

    1. Learning the basics of the forearm pass
    2. Learn to bounce the ball on the arms
    3. Learn to bring the ball
    4. Learn to juggle with the ball
    5. Learn to control the ball
    6. Learn to point the ball

 

At the end of this article I will give some skills to show what Adri means by this things.  When we start with volleyball we must spend a lot of time with ball skilfulness; when we do so it's stimulate the learning of the forearm pass. In this method of learning we consider the forearm pass as one of the easiest skills to learn. Only the underhand serve is easier to learn. The quicker a child control a skill, the quicker a child can play a game well. The better a child can play a game, the more fun children have in playing the game. Because the forearm pass is easier to learn, then par example the overhand pass, the quicker children see their results. The quicker they see their results the sooner they like their game.

 

Attention
  1. Good mobility to be able to play a forearm pass, where running and shuffle (joining steps) are the most suitable movements.
  2. Feet are spread and broad, a low body-posture for optimum balance.
  3. To be able to play the ball in front as well as next to the body.
  4. Combine the correct feet-position with the point where the ball is played in respect of the body.
    • -ballcontact in front of the body = broad side-by-side position.
    • -ballcontact to the left of the body = broad side-by-side position with rightfoot in front.
    • -ballcontact to the right of the body = broad side-by-side position with leftfoot in front.
  5. The tilting of the shoulders because of the angle in which the ball has to be played.
  6. • Movements running and shuffle.
  7. • Broad side-by-side position of the feet at ballcontact.
  8. • Correct postioning of the pass-sheet of your arms.
