Some of these camps will have college coaches coming to watch you play but make sure that you pick volleyball camps that are organized by the colleges and the college coach. You will get to see what the coach is looking for and YOU WILL BE SEEN. Refining exposure and technique as well as learning advanced tactical aspects of the game is the key to the volleyball camp environment. I get asked by student-athletes all the time, "how can I get the volleyball coach or scout come to watch me play"? Well it's a very simple answer, attend a summer volleyball camp at the college. Volleyball camps are great fun but remember this: You must be on your best behavior and be punctual. Coaches want to see how you conduct yourself off the field as well.

VOLLEYBALL TRAINING TIP

Wait for the Set- Most of the time, Your opponent's set will dictate when you retreat. The best time to turn and burn is when the set is well off the net. But remember that it also depends on the ability of the hitter facing you. If you are against a big banger, you will want to block more than you would against smaller players who like to shoot.

Comprehensive and detailed list of the rules of volleyball.

The sport of volleyball originated in the USA and is 110 years old but is only now starting to achieve the type of popularity in the United States that it has enjoyed on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports.

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William Morgan at the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) in Holyoke, Mass., where he worked as Director of Physical Education.
