Volleyball training: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering volleyball training
You train players in serving, passing, setting, hitting and positioning. Your sessions work best when you find the single skill holding the player back, fix it with one clear drill, then show how it fits into a rally.
What customers ask
- Can you improve my serve in a few sessions?
- Do you train beginners as well as competitive players?
- How do I practice when I do not have a partner?
- Do you train for a specific position?
- What should I bring to the first session?
- Do you help with tryout prep?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the player's age, position and the skill that causes the most trouble in games, then say what the first session will cover
- Start with a passing and serving check so you can see where the player is before you change anything
- Show the change on video or in a short rally so the player sees the difference right away
- Put session length, gym location, group size and equipment in the quote
- Build each session around one skill, then finish with a short rally that uses it
- Send a home drill with a target for the next session
What to put on your profile
- Photos of your sessions, with player consent, showing passing, serving and hitting drills
- Your coaching certificate listed by name, if you hold one
- The levels you train, from beginner to competitive club
- The gyms and courts where you train, and the equipment you bring
- Whether you train individuals, small groups or full teams
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A home drill sheet with two drills and a target for the next session
- A position-specific session for a player moving to a new role
- A pre-tryout block focused on the skills the team tests
- A video review of a match, with two things to fix before the next one
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to train volleyball players. Keep any coaching certificate current, complete a background check if you work with children, and carry liability insurance if the gym requires it. Check with your state or local licensing agency for rules that apply to the facility you use.
Questions
Do I need insurance to train at a public gym?
Many public gyms and clubs ask trainers to carry liability insurance before they run sessions. Check the facility's rules and keep your certificate on file.
How do I handle a player who only wants to hit?
Show them that a good pass and a good set decide how many hits they get. Keep a hitting block in each session and add one passing or setting drill they can see the value of.
