 Hey what's up you guys welcome back to my channel. My name is Coach Coco and I love volleyball. So much so my channel is full of tips, tricks, hacks and anything you could ever need to know about volleyball. So do you want to be a tricky volleyball player? Do you want to know how to play short in deep court? This video is for you. Let's get right into it. My cell phone is not only being a swinger but being able to have that spidey sense of volleyball in which I can read the court and know how to do short and deep plays. There is two different types of court. We have the short court and the deep court. You want to know how to play both of those kinds of courts for the optimal volleyball usage. Let's let's let me explain it a bit further. So when we're looking at the court we know that the short court is anything before the 10 foot line. The deep court is anything behind the 10 foot line. If you understand volleyball rotations you've seen enough volleyball games. You just observe volleyball in general. You will start to get to understand and know exactly how players move. Typically players tend to move very similarly that they've played before. So if you played a team before most likely they're going to play similarly again. So if that's information that you already know in the past use it to your advantage. So if we know that for example if we know that there's going to be a blocker here when I swing and everybody's going to bunch up to then cover what's available the deep court. So that's something that you want to use through your vantage. So if you know that they're coming up everybody's coming up use a deep court. If you're playing and you're sitting on the bench and you see that everybody is just scatterbrained everywhere but short is open use it to your advantage. This is what we mean by playing short and deep court. So that means that for example if I know that everybody's bunched up am I going to give the ball and just tip it right there. Everybody's waiting for me. No I'm going to push it deep because she's not there. We want to be and think steps ahead. We want to think more proactively than these other players. Another example let's say there's a blocker here. She's blocking she's so good. She gets everything and just goes boom okay every time. But we know that the outside over here she's painting her nails. She's not ready. She doesn't know what she's doing. Okay she's just kind of lobly gagging. Am I going to keep painting in the block to just get chick chick boomed every time? Now I'm going to then push it over here to the outside hitter who's painting her nails. We just want to think more proactively. I know that a lot of you all are in the skill level now where you kind of are reactionary. The ball comes to you and it's just muscle memory and you kind of just do what you think you can. But I want you to start practicing thinking proactively. That means thinking forward. Thinking about what you can do next instead of what oh my gosh the ball came to me. I was going to react. Now we want to take a deep breath. We want to scan the court go around. Okay I see the libero. She's way far up. She shouldn't be this far up so I'm going to give it to her. I want you to start thinking about it that way. But on the flip side I want you to remember that while you're thinking about it like that other players are looking at you like that. So that means that you don't want to be predictable. You don't want to be the player where oh she hits angle every time. It doesn't matter we're going to block angle every time because she hits it every time. I want you to be have some diversity. Have some variety. So don't hit it angle every time. Try to hit line tip angle. Work on your roll shot. Work on your push. You want to add diversity so that way somebody doesn't peg you as a predictable player every time. So when you're playing short and deep court that means that you need to think that step ahead. Everybody's bunched up. Go deep. Everybody's in the far back. I don't know what they're doing back there. Go short. Think steps ahead. This is one of the key things to becoming a smarter faster better volleyball player. And one of the things that we want to do. I want you to be able to do is have that volleyball spidey sense that you can just see what's going to happen and you know what to do. It starts small start slow. It doesn't have to be something that you make a change immediately. But just start thinking about that short and deep court. So the next time you go and you play volleyball, I want you to divide the court into short and deep. And I want you to take a look and see some of the patterns that you're noticing. Are your teammates always playing real close to the net? Are they always playing really deep? Is nobody gathering? Is the blocker going up and nobody's there? I want you to think about that. And then I want you to put in the comments below some of the things that you noticed because it might be something somebody else have noticed as well. So I hope this video has helped you a little bit get your spidey senses. Please like comment subscribe and I will see you guys next time.
