INFLUENECE OF REPETITION

Playing volleyball is one of best ways to have fun, make friends, improve team spirit and burn calories. Many people want to skip straight to playing games, even if that means suffering through a rally-less bout of jungle ball. However, the best (and most fun) volleyball is played when the players control the ball, not the other way around. Repetition, even if it's boring, has to be done, until action is done right.
Struggling with serving? Get a bucket of balls and work on hitting serving targets or areas. Repeat this until you can put the ball in any part of the court at will.
If you want to improve your passing, have someone serve balls at you and around you and see how many you can put right on top of the setter's head. Challenge yourself with a goal of getting a certain number of perfect contacts and work until you reach that goal.
The same is true in setting, digging, hitting, blocking and any other skill you want to take to the next level.
You'll be surprised at how comfortable you get in different situations. You learn your strengths and your weaknesses. You learn to adjust. When you do finally get into a game, all this individual skill work will pay off and your overall understanding of the game and its skills will dramatically improve.
So next time you're at practice endlessly doing the same thing over and over again, remember that in the end, these reps are going to make you into the best player you can be. And by continuing to practice your skills, there will be no game situation that you can't handle.
