Karch Kiraly's 4 Keys to the Forearm Pass or "bump"

Karch Kiraly, the only person to have won Olympic gold medals in both volleyball categories: beach and indoor AND named by The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, (FIVB), volleyball's highest governing body, as the greatest volleyball player of the 20th Century Says this of passing....

I’ve often said that forearm passing is the cornerstone of volleyball, and I believe it more than ever now that I’m a coach. If you want to elevate the play of those around you, indoors or beach, you have to be able to make the ball go where you want by using your forearm platform.

Sharks!!!! We did A LOT of passing drills last Saturday and will continue with a few more this Saturday at practice.  

To that end, I would like you to Watch Karch's Video on the 4 keys to the forearm pass, HERE

And then review them on your own.  You don't even need a ball or a partner.  Just stand in your living room, watch the video, and copy Karch's movements!

Then remember his 4 keys

1) Stopped and Balanced

2) Thumbs/Wrists Together

3) Set the Angle

4) Simple One-Way Motion

I will ask you about them on Saturday!!!!!
