VTS to Japan
Barring a last minute snafu, always possible, VTS will be going to Japan next week to spend time with former USA National Team Coach, and current Pioneer Red Wings coach, Toshi Yoshida.  Pioneer is a member of the Japan Professional League and is training for the upcoming season.  Toshi has allowed VTS into their gym to video their training.  This will be a great opportunity for all to see how one of the best volleyball coaches in history works with his athletes.

VTS Goes Over 175,000 Views

We are pleased that the Volleyball Training Solutions site recently passed 175,000 views.  I am pleased that we are able to share with the volleyball community videos of great coaches and players
doing their thing.  Hopefully, we will continue to grow in membership and expand our video library.

VTS and Top Club Coaches


One of the major pushes for VTS this winter and spring is to get top clubs and club coaches involved in sharing their expertise.  To date a majority of the video on the site is presented by top collegiate coaches.  However, there is an ever growing demand for top age group coaches, especially those who work with younger age athletes, to present their training techniques.  I'm asking for recommendations from the club community.  If you can recommend who you consider to be a top coach, let me know.  I will make every effort to get them involved on the site.

VTS Joins with AVCA and Sports Imports

This fall, VTS joined with both Sports Imports and the AVCA  to supply video tips that can be seen on their websites.  Our goal is to share top volleyball coaches in action, so this agreement is great for the sport and VTS is more than happy to participate.

Dartfish Express

Dartfish will be coming out this week with Dartfish Express.  This is an app for I-Pads that allow coaches to take video in practice with their I-Pads and upload immediately to their Dartfish TV collection.  So, those coaches that have private folders on VTS can use this for both instructional videos for players and well as promotional videos for their parents/boosters.  It is exciting to be able to take video within a practice then have it uploaded immediately so players can watch as soon as they get home from a training session.  Great stuff for both athletes and coaches.
