Octane/OC Beach Volleyball
Coach Kelly Unverdorben
Playing high school, beach and club volleyball is great for gaining experience and getting repetitions. However, when you are 1 out of 12 players on a team, it is extremely difficult for a coach to spend quality time working on an individual player's techniques. Reaffirming poor fundamentals over and over in practice only makes it harder to break those bad habits the longer you play.
