Fun Volleyball Drills

One challenge that every sports coach eventually must face is making practices fun. While repetitive drills are necessary for building skill and muscle memory, when players become accustomed to certain drills they are more inclined to turn their minds off and go through the motions. Instead, coaches must continually rotate drills and add fun and exciting new ones to their practice line up to keep players focused and sharp. Feel free to use one of the following fun volleyball drills at your next practice to break up the routine and challenge your players in new ways.

Bingo Volleyball

For the first of these fun volleyball drills you will need a large sheet of white paper and a black marker. Begin by brainstorming a list of some of the crucial skills and moves that your players need help with such as perfect dig, block, spike, etc. Once you've come up with at least 25 draw a bingo card on the sheet of paper, filling each of the squares with one of the skills and post it next to the court.

Now divide your team into groups of six for scrimmage. The teams play against each other as if it were a regular match with one key difference: each time they successfully execute one of the aforementioned moves, they earn that spot on the bingo card. Players must call the move before the execute it to earn the spot on the card.

The goal is to make a line of 5, at which point all members of the team must yell "Bingo". This game causes players to come up with a game plan that successfully incorporates the necessary moves to make a line of 5, which can often be radically different from their normal game plan.

Hit the Deck!

When searching for fun volleyball drills remember that the emphasis does not always have to be on hitting the ball. Volleyball requires many other skills that are often less recognized, such as the ability to drop and hit the floor without fear or hesitation. The following drill, which we call "Hit the Deck", will help your players overcome that hesitation.

Begin by having your players jog on the spot. Either at the sound of your whistle or when you yell the words "Hit the Deck", all players must drop to the floor instantly. If you'd like to up the competitive spirit of the drill, you can enforce a rule where the last player to hit the floor is out.

Building Defensive Toughness

The third of the fun volleyball drills I like to use to change up my practice routines is a simple variation on 2-on-6. For this drill, one team has 6 players and the other has only 2. To begin with, have the strongest players on your team as the outnumbered ones.

The 6-player team begins by serving the ball within two steps of a member of the 2-player team. The goal is not to try and humiliate the 2-player team; rather the goal is to have them get down and play defense. You'll really begin to notice your players develop their defensive toughness after running the fun drill at a couple of your practices.

How to Hit Longer Drives

A longer drive off the tee is something every golfer desires. Adding 10 or 20 or even more yards to your tee-shot can dramatically shave strokes off of your game and that is the focus of this short golf lesson.

Whether you're playing golf for money as a professional, for bragging rights or just for fun, an extra ten to twenty yards with your driver can vastly improve your ability to score well. You might be a long hitter already or you might be a player who doesn't hit it long yet, but you can add at least 10 yards to your drive easily with a simple drill that anyone can learn to practice.

For those of you, who often grab your 3-Wood or use an iron off the tee because you're afraid of going for the long ball, listen up. I understand your pain! It is extremely frustrating to try and hit a perfect driver only to be deep in the rough to left or the right of the fairway or who-the-heck knows where.

But before you give up on it and convince yourself that real golfers "Drive for show, and putt for dough" listen to what Greg Norman had to say about the subject: In his book SHARK ATTACK he wrote, "Don't ever sell me on that line. If you can't put your tee-shot in play, the smoothest stroke in the world won't help you enough. To my mind, the most important shot in golf is the drive".

Alright then, let's get started. Grab your driver and put on your normal grip.

Now release the last 3 fingers on each hand (for those of you slow learners like me, we're talking about the pinky, ring and middle finger on each hand). You should now have only the index finger (pointer) and thumb of each hand on the club.

With your left thumb and pointer, start your swing by pushing the left side of the grip back, adding just a bit of shoulder and hip turn.

Notice how the driver head extends naturally back along the target line and the toe of the club is pointing up. Your swing will now be on line and on plane and will automatically give you the right feel and easily add more than 10 yards to your tee shots with greater accuracy.

Keep drilling this until you really get the feel for it. Start slow with the driver and practice with all of your clubs. Keep this slow pace and visualize what it is you are doing. When done correctly, repeatedly and with focus, your body will remember what to do and you'll be getting the clubface in proper position time and again.

Make sure to start with your hands and then add your shoulders and hips naturally.

Too much shoulders takes the clubhead back on a shallow plane, that's why starting the club back with just your index finger and thumb, prevents you from manipulating the club off plane and helps the club extend back on that natural arc we're all looking for in order to stay on plane.

I just know that if you spend a few minutes working on this you will reap the benefits pretty quickly and start adding 10, 20 or more yards to your driver with greater accuracy.

Thanks for reading, good luck and good golfing.

Free Ringtones By Text

The telecom boom has got with it various innovative ways of offering new forms of entertainment. The most common feature that users demand is ringtones. A ringtone is just an alert to an incoming call or an SMS text message. But the mobile service providers have gone one step ahead in order to popularize their business and provide innovative ringtones to their subscribers. This has indeed lead to a great boost in the mobile phone business.

Initially, when the ringtones could not be downloaded directly from the Internet and the market penetration was less than it is now, ringtones would be passed on to users via text messages. It's still a very simple and easy form of sending ringtones, especially as many users still use old handsets. And with the popularity of this feature, it has evolved from a paid service to a free add-on feature to users.

The procedure for getting ringtones via text message is very simple. The service providers use a SMS number wherein any subscriber can send an SMS along with a 4-digit code of the requested ringtone. Once this SMS is sent, the service provider forwards the ringtone as a text message attachment to the user. The user then installs it on his or her handset and is free to use it as their ringtone. The users can also forward the same SMS to their friends. This is like a chain reaction and has lead to a phenomenal rise in the business of mobile service providers. It still remains a very popular way of sending ringtones around. But the only catch is that the user who originally requests the tone has to pay for it. However, from there, all the others who get it from the original user get it for free. So whole nothing in the world comes completely free, this is a case where it comes pretty close.




FreeRingtonesNow.net is a website that offers visitors the ability to find free ringtones and free ringers.

How Much Does a Toll-Free Number Cost?

Back in the days when land lines were the major component of communication, businesses used toll-free numbers to allow their customers to call at no personal cost. This was a big hit with the buying public, but the cost to businesses was very high. Fortunately, increased competition from cell phone companies with no long-distance charges brought the cost of toll-free numbers down significantly.

What is a Toll Free Number?

Whenever you call an 800 number, you are calling a number that is toll-free. The owner of the number is the one that gets billed for the call. Whenever we hear toll-free, we think of the 800 area code. While it is true that the area code 800 is always a toll-free phone number, there are several other area codes that are reserved for toll-free status as well. Other toll free area codes include: 888, 877, 866 numbers that are in use now. Other toll-free area codes are reserved for future use, and they include: 844, 833, and 822.

How Do You Know the Price?

Many years ago, you only had one choice for your 800 service. Things have changed these days. You can still choose to get service or your local phone company, or you can choose from a large number of telephone companies that offer toll-free service.

If you type the words "toll-free phone number" into any search engine, you will get many pages of telephone companies advertising their services. Many times right in the ad, the company will display costs for their services. Prices range from $9.99 per month and up depending on the numbers of perks that you want included in your plan.

The best way to find the best price is to talk to all of them. At least talk to several companies before you choose the right one for your business needs. Keep in mind that you need to compare all options offered with each company, as well as price to make up your mind. Once you decide which company you want, they can take care of getting your phone number and all of your service connected for you.

Do You Really Need a Toll-Free Phone Number?

Only you can decide if the benefits of having a toll-free number are worth it for your business. There are some advantages that are worth noting. The number is portable, so if you move, the number follows you around the country. You will get a better response to any advertising when you post a toll-free telephone number. Your customers like a business that doesn't charge them for telephone calls. Businesses that have toll-free numbers tend to have a better professional image and businesses that don't. It's all about credibility. A toll-free number will give you a little extra credibility with your customers.

To recap, do your research on several different companies to find the best deal for your toll-free telephone number. Compare prices, features, and benefits offered with all of the different plans.




Find a low cost toll-free number for business or personal use.

Free Girls Softball Fastpitch Drills

Any softball coach or player who wants to learn more softball drills can easily find a lot of drills in books and videos and on the internet. Most of these drills cost money but some of them are free. These free girls softball fastpitch drills are very good. Most of the free drills focus on throwing, fielding, and hitting the ball.

Throwing the Ball

The position of a player determines the most common types of throws that player will have to make. For example, a 3rd baseman will need to make hard throws all the way across the diamond to 1st base while a right fielder will most commonly have to make a longer throw from the outfield to a cut-off man near the infield or to a base.

The Before Inning Warm-up Drill

All softball coaches and players know what players do before an inning begins. The first baseman throws a grounder to each infielder while the outfielder stands in their positions and play catch. This is a common drill during games but it should also be performed everyday in practice.

The Relay Throws Drill

The Relay Throws Drill is another one of the good free girls softball fastpitch drills. This drill involves 2 outfields lining up on each side of an infielder. Each player should be about 100 feet apart.

One of the outfielders starts out with the ball and throws the infielder the ball using the crow-hop. The infielder catches the ball, pivots, and uses the crow-hop while throwing the ball to the other outfielder. That outfielder catches the ball and then throws back to the infielder, once again using the crow-hop.

This drill allows all 3 players to practice throwing using a crow-hop. It also helps teach the outfielders to hit the cutoff man. Finally, it helps the infielder practice receiving the cutoff throw, pivoting, and throwing to the desired base.

Fielding

It doesn't matter how well a team can hit and pitch if the team can't play good defense in the field. The key to playing good defense is for every player to be fundamentally sound. A great drill for this the No Glove Fielding Drill.

The No Glove Fielding Drill

Just as the name suggests, this fastpitch softball drill requires players to field the ball without a glove. The drill can be run with bare hands or with a board that is specially made for the drill and worn on the fielders' glove hand.

Players can either field balls hit to them by the coach (more advanced) or they can field balls rolled to them. They need to concentrate on keeping their upper bodies square with the ball (get in front of the ball), bending at the knees, and cradling the ball with two hands into their body.

Once players master the technique of fielding without a glove then they will find fielding with a glove much easier.

Hitting

The only way for a player to get better with hitting the ball is for them to actually hit. Players can either hit a ball off a tee (to work on the basics) or they can hit pitches. Also, a part of hitting that is often overlooked is bunting. Players should be required to lay down at least 3 bunts every time they take batting practice (BP). If possible, players should take BP every practice and before every game.

Look for Free Girls Fastpitch Softball Drills

Softball players need to be drilled on the basics of the game (throwing, fielding, and hitting) as often as possible. Any coach or player who is looking for drills to do can easily find them. In fact, there are a great many free girls softball fastpitch drills on the internet.
