Take a BYOP® online course beginning with BYOP® 101

After completing the BYOP® 101 course, I am encouraged by the possibilities of elevating the level of volleyball instruction for elementary aged children. As a coach who has worked with children in this age group, I can tell you that without a succinct method  of training, volleyball instruction sessions can quickly turn into a chaotic mess. BYOP® 101 provides a sound method for keeping players and parents engaged in the instruction while also offering constant and consistent encouragement. As a club administrator who has seen countless children who have not been taught correct volleyball techniques, I see the BYOP® 101 course as a critical tool, not only for the development of youth, but for the development of teachers, parents and novice coaches who want to provide volleyball instruction. Finally, as a parent of two volleyball players, I would have loved to participate in a program such as BYOP® when my children were younger. I believe that had BYOP® been available back then, I would have gotten involved in coaching and volleyball instruction much sooner.  I’ve talked with a number of people who work in parks and recreation or other youth organizations such as The Boys & Girls Club and even PE teachers and after school programs who would love to offer volleyball programs for their youth, but have not had individuals who were qualified to instruct such programs. BYOP® 101 is the perfect course to spark youth volleyball program implementation.

Why did I love the course so much? The content! I’ve taken courses in the past whose content did no more than provide visuals of a skill. The BYOP® course provided visual demonstration with detailed descriptions of “what” and “why” that followed along with the video in real time. Never once did I find myself wanting fast forward through boring instruction to “get to the point" as I’ve done with previous courses. I remained engaged by the content and found myself wanting more.

Looking forward to future BYOP® courses!!

The Art of Coaching BYOP® 101 online course is very practical for those wanting to coach young volleyball players. I have never completed a course that is so thorough and applicable to coaching elementary age students. Ruth Nelson is full of wisdom and knowledge of the sport and is an expert on how to best teach fundamentals to kids.The athletes in the course respond to Ruth's training which shows what she teaches and how she teaches it will work!

Throughout the course, Ruth uses key words to teach and keep the attention of the athletes. The key words keep the athletes focused on each skill. So often as coaches we like to talk for five minutes, explaining every step of a fundamental to our athletes. Ruth uses clear, concise language to get the point across fast and in a way that is simple for young athletes to understand.

This course was extremely helpful for my personal growth as a BYOP® Certified Instructor. I have trained with Ruth before and learned in person how she teaches, but this course was very helpful because I can't be in Texas all of the time with Ruth. This course allows me to learn from Ruth even when I am not working directly with her. When I am going through a BYOP® session, it will be very useful to go back through the course and refresh my memory on how each fundamental should be taught.

BYOP® is a unique youth volleyball program, unlike anything in the country. To have the BYOP® 101 course available on the Art of Coaching is a privilege! You get to learn from one of the most experienced, passionate coaches in the history of volleyball. You will not only learn how to teach the fundamentals of volleyball to young athletes but also how to hold their attention and gain their respect as a coach! The Art of Coaching BYOP® 101 course is worth your time if you are passionate about youth volleyball and furthering the sport!

What I love most about the BYOP® training:

Mom: The BYOP® program is teaching me correct volleyball techniques and skills, while spending valuable time with my daughter.  Now that I know the proper form, I can assist both of my daughters outside of lessons.  Additionally, the BYOP® program gives me enjoyment while seeing the kids play and learn at the same time!

Age: 9 (EF) now 12
Year in School: 3rd grade
Height: 4’7”
Training Hours & Months:
20 hours over 4 months

What I love most about the BYOP® training:
 Player: I get to learn the basics of volleyball with loved ones (mom and friends), and I get better every week!

Mom: The benefits of BYOP® training are undeniable.  My daughter has been able to develop fundamental volleyball skills while I have gained some basic training techniques and keywords to help her continue her training at home.  This program has motivated both of us to take home what we learn in the one-hour-a-week training and practice it.  Even if we don’t have a net, a ball, and a court, we have useful exercises (like jump roping, tennis ball tossing, and footwork). We can perform these so that she can continue to develop as a player.  I love the progressive skill development, the camaraderie, the intensity and the fun of it.  What I love most about BYOP is seeing my daughter so excited about training!

Dad: While I haven’t gotten to formally participate in the BYOP® program with my wife and daughter, I have enjoyed seeing what they are learning at the training.  They bring home exercises that the whole family practices right in our living room.  It has also been fun to hear my daughter’s feedback about training from a 9 year old player’s perspective.  She LOVES it, therefore I love it!
