timing
Question
my daughter has been playing volleyball for 3 years now 7th, 8th and 9th grade in school. She's joined a club for the first time. Her timing is still off for hitting, is there hope for her?
Answer
Rita,
Sure, some kids take a little longer than others. With hope her club coach will be good and her setter will be more consistent. One thing that I have found that helps kids is what I call the tennis ball drill. Have your daughter hold a tennis ball in her hitting hand. Take her regular approach, jump, swing and release the ball so that it is travelling at a downward angle (to simulate the contact of the ball). This helps her approach, swing, jump and it could help her timing.
Good luck,
Steve
