Passing is arguably the most important skill in volleyball, but it's amazing how many people don't do it right! I still work on my passing angles and fundamentals daily, and I've been playing FOREVER!! :)

Hi, I know you probably won’t see this because this video is pretty old, but I just want you to know that this video and a few of your other videos have really helped me, a VERY young, VERY beginner volleyball player (who’s only on her school team because there’s a no-cut policy). I’m pretty bad at everything in volleyball, especially passing, but this video showed me some things that I’m doing wrong and how to get better at it. Thank you so much. :D
