YMCA Coaching Principles- General Youth Coaching Principles

6 players play at a time

Rotate clockwise

The person rotating from the bench comes into server position

The person in the right front rotates to the bench

Server can move up based on skill level and then go to back row after the serve

Each server gets 4 attempts to make it over the net

Each team rotates 3 servers and then possession is changed

Out of bounds lines are standard

Play half hour then switch sides

Remember these are kids! Many of them have never played before and we want to encourage them and make it a great experience!
