Why Play Outdoors???
“Research done by USA Volleyball on the contacts per player in the 2008 Olympics, showed the average beach Olympian touched the ball nearly THREE times as often per match compared to an indoor player (2.588 times to be exact). This means each hour you play doubles in the summer you are learning the skills, by actually contacting the ball, well over twice as fast as when you play the indoor game. You also MUST be an all around player, able to do all the skills in volleyball well – creating the generalized base that you can then specialize from as determined by your indoor team and coach. If you are not strong in passing or hitting, your opponents should serve you, not strong in setting and your opponents should serve your partner. This means you spend the summer developing your weaknesses and become a far stronger player. Add in that you have to really focus on touching the ball in every rally, a minimum of once and often twice, without a coach to tell you what to do, and you increase the ever important deliberate practice time, repetitions with concentration, not just watching someone else do it, that lead to skill improvement. When you are making the mistakes that happen from learning, once or even in streaks, there are no substitutes, so you get to work through your errors and figure out how to do it, not sit on the bench”. – John Kessel, USA Volleyball.
