"Passing Fancy"

Always use the techniques and advice of your current coach. If your club coach wants it done "this way," do it that way. This short video provides some tips (low, balance, hold)

If Coach Celli wants it done another way, do it that way, unless you discuss it with Coach Celli and can prove why another way works better for you.

General thoughts about passing (I am not a volleyball coach): 

1) Footwork is vital when you have time. Sometimes you won't. 

2) Platform should be applied away from the body.

3) You control how much force must be added or subtracted to the ball.  

4) A good pass (high, middle, off the net) is better than trying for a great pass, leading to an "overpass" or "trapping the setter" against the net.

5) "One bad pass often leads to another." 

6) Nobody is perfect with passing, attacking, setting, etc. Always "move on" to the next play. "What is done is done." 

7) You can't always play the ball from the midline (body), so learn to pass from both sides of the body. 

8) For the "tough" play, prioritize keeping the ball in play over trying to do too much.
