Why Take private lessons?

In the early 2000s, it was rare for volleyball players to take private lessons. These sessions were typically reserved for a select group of talented athletes, perceived as a way to widen the gap between top performers and others. Nowadays, it’s common for most players on high school or club teams to receive private lessons, or participate in small group sessions with two to four players and one coach to develop a particular skill or area of the game.

VolleyBlast focuses on “DEEP” practice

“DEEP” practice involves intentional, concentrated effort where athletes learn from their mistakes. Simply repeating incorrect movements reinforces bad habits. Coaches often focus on outcomes over technique, but at VolleyBlast, we emphasize proper technique.

For example, a coach might instruct a young athlete to stand sideways before serving, aiming to help them use a throwing motion and hip swing. Unfortunately, this can lead to developing incorrect muscle memory, which the player and a private coach will later need to correct.

VolleyBlast coaches ensure athletes learn the right skills from the start. Don’t worry if your 12-year-old can’t serve overhand yet; with time and proper coaching, they’ll get there.

Focus

VolleyBlast will focus on the technique and the progression of a skill and movement for the younger athletes (12-15 year olds). More experienced athletes will be instructed on the complete movement, as research indicates they benefit most from this approach. Repetition purely for the sake of repetition is not allowed.
