Your players cannot play well if they do not understand the rules of volleyball, and you risk losing points, not to mention games. Make sure your team knows what they can and cannot do, what gets them points and what results in penalties. Talk to your players supportively, and if you are coaching children, talk to parents openly so they know what is going on at practice. Keeping your communication positive rather than competitive will demonstrate that you have the best interests of the players in mind and provide a model of good sportsmanship. This is especially important if you are coaching kids. The Socratic method of coaching uses questions to get players to think critically on their own.
