Featuring Anne Kordes
Every coach has struggled with which defense to use at some point in their careers. Which defense covers tips the best? What if my setter is not very fast? Whose ball is it anyway?
In this video, 2010 and 2011 USA Select National Team Lead Coach Anne Kordes answers these questions while teaching you the pros and cons of three most common defensive systems. You will see how you can customize each system to the needs of your team - or even the needs of an individual match - so you can have your best passers and hitters in each rotation.
When deciding which defensive system to employ, knowing your team is just as essential as knowing your opponent. Coach Kordes takes local 7th and 8th graders through a "rotation-by-rotation" explanation of the strengths of each system, when to use it, and how to teach it.

Featuring Anne Kordes
To be most successful, a good coach should match their offensive system to their team rather than making every team fit the mold of a single offensive system. University of Louisville Coach Anne Kordes, along with "the best 7th & 8th graders in Louisville," dive into team offenses, thoroughly explaining the pros and cons of the three most common volleyball offenses: 4-2, 6-2, and 5-1.
Before getting into the offenses, teams must have a solid understanding of "overlapping" to avoid giving up unearned, out of rotation points to the opponent. In her fast-paced, but easy to understand style, Coach Kordes explains the six zones, rotations and where the players need to line-up according to each rotation. She does a great job of showing who can and cannot overlap in each rotation, allowing coaches to decide how they want their teams to serve-receive and who they want to pass.
