Communication Problems

Communication is Key!

Communication is an essential skill in the game of volleyball. If you don't have communication, your team will not be very successful. You need communication to see who is taking the ball, what rotation you're in, hitting, and most importantly bringing each other up when they're down from a previous mistake. When you make a mistake, we usually tend to bring ourselves down because we know that we can do much better than that. Even though absolutely everyone makes mistakes, and we're not perfect. But what we're striving for is to actually be perfect. When we all know that can't happen. So when a team mate is down everyone should constantly be bringing her up. When we're hitting you call out the number, color, or slide you're hitting. If you don't communicate with your setter, the setter will have no idea where to set the ball. Before you pass the ball call mine so there is no confusion. Either no one goes for the ball, or absolutely everyone goes for it and you all end up actually missing the ball and end up in a big huge doggy pile.Some teams need to even call out the rotations they're in. If you don't call the rotation you're in, then you might have 2 people in the previous rotation,while the other 4 are in the one they want to do. It only takes one person to mess everything up, and get everyone off track. But if the officials catch it, then you can get called for mixed up rotation, and the other team get a point. I don't know about you but I hate when that happens.
