Brian Gimmillaro

Head Coach of Women's Volleyball at Long Beach State

"Regarded as one of the top volleyball minds in the country, Brian Gimmillaro will have administrative oversight of both the beach and indoor volleyball programs at Long Beach State. Honored in 2008 with induction into the AVCA Hall of Fame, Gimmillaro has led his Alma Mater to three NCAA Championships and eight Final Four appearances in women's volleyball, and will help usher in a new era as the leader of an emerging sport in sand volleyball.

Long Beach State has a tremendous tradition of producing fine beach volleyball players that have found great success worldwide.

That list would certainly include Misty May-Treanor, arguably the greatest women's beach volleyball player in the world. May-Treanor is the all-time tournament wins leader in both professional and international competition, and with her partner Kerri Walsh, will be attempting to win a third straight Olympic Gold medal in London in 2012 after reaching the sport's pinnacle at both the Athens Olympics in 2004 and the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

May-Treanor's journey started at Long Beach State, where as a two-time National Player of the Year, she led the 49ers to the first perfect record in NCAA history on the way to a National Championship in 1998, Gimmillaro's third title.

Many other players have starred in beach volleyball after working under Gimmillaro's tutelage as well. Jenn Snyder and Brittany Hochevar are both among the nation's top money winners in professional beach volleyball. Alicia (Mills) Polzin was a member of Gimmillaro's first NCAA championship team in 1989, and has competed in beach volleyball for over 20 years.

Gimmillaro has been consistently one of the best coaches in the indoor game as well. He ranks 14th in Division I history with 789 career wins, and ranks in the Top 10 among active coaches in both total wins and winning percentage at the Division I level.

Gimmillaro graduated from Long Beach State in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Gimmillaro has two children, a son, Stefan, and daughter, Lauren." Book this course......

• Author Alano Sykes

Many athletes struggle for years to increase their vertical leap. For athletes who participate in sports like football, basketball, or volleyball, they can't ignore this skill. Almost any athlete can improve their jumping ability, thereby aiding them in their particular sport. Multiple exercises are helpful in this area, however the right mindset is also important. If you let yourself become frustrated or disappointed with your results, this can slow down your progress. Excel at the games you love by determining to increase your vertical leap through these tips. (Continued below......)

the fastest way to improve your vertical without a gym.

(...Continued....)The one part of your body you have to focus on to improve vertical leap is obviously the feet and toes. It will be vital for you to have flexibility and strength in this area to generate the quick and explosive movements you want. Many of the simplest exercises, such as knee bends, toe raises and jumping rope can help you make fast improvements in your jumping ability. Work different muscle groups and keep your body guessing by varying your routine on a regular basis. Playing sports after all, requires movement in a variety of ways. Warming up properly by stretching and doing light jogging is always important prior to strenuous exercise.

Appropriate nutrition is very important for all athletic activities. Conversely, when it comes to bettering your jumping ability, one particular goal that you should work at is losing weight, unless of course you are already at your perfect weight or underweight.

It's an easy physics example that the less you weigh, the easier it'll be for you to move rapidly and jump higher. Make it a point to eat all the food necessary for your body, although if you need to shed pounds, reduce your food intake. This in itself is possible to of making a vast difference. Shedding some weight will also allow you to improve your overall athletic performance, instill in you more energy and make you a healthier person.

Something you need to remember as your train for increasing vertical jump is to have a relaxed attitude for it. This does not mean you should stop training briskly. Although, it is optimal for you to bear in mind that you are being active in a game you are rather keen on, and to recognize that you will get better at your own pace. If you work yourself too hard mentally, you will become irritable when you can't recognize yourself getting better after every game. Do what you can to be happy with training and the actual playing of your sport, without getting too wedged thinking about the numbers. Truthfully, you will get better faster this way!

As expected, if you want to increase your vertical leap you also must practice jumping in addition to the training you do for your primary activity. Everyone, regardless of age or athletic ability can make significant improvements in this area if they focus on it. You have to train vigorously, as well as being tolerant for yourself. You can't expect astounding leaps overnight. On the contrary, the tips we provided can help you get a better advantage that will allow you to jump even higher in a shorter window of time.

There isn't any doubt that there are various things which can aid you to strengthen your abilities in every sport, such as the game of basketball, football, and volley ball, and probably one of the most significant of them is the vertical leap skill.

In case you wish to increase your vertical jump skill, in that case check out the links listed below for a couple of suggestions.

Essential Volleyball Drills for High School -From Stack Sports Performance

For volleyball players to succeed and play well together as a team, they must be prepared for any game situation. Here are some volleyball drills for high school players aimed at improving your skills on the court.

Volleyball Drills for High School

Communicate

High school players can learn to communicate through two variations of one drill.

• Play a regular 6-on-6 game, but call out the name of the opposing player to whom you are hitting the ball.
• Have the coach call out one player from each team. Only those players may talk. The coach eventually calls out each player on the court. This helps to improve everyone's communication skills.

Bump, Set, Send

This is a drill is for working on control. It's also a great drill for warming up before practice or a game.

• Each player has a partner.
• First player bumps to herself, sets to herself and hits to partner.
• Partner digs the ball and repeats.

Serve and Receive

• Two teams of six, one on each side of the net.
• Three back-row passers, one target and two servers.
• Each team serves.
• Passer receives and sends to the target (target must not move from center of the net).
• When the target catches the ball, the passer takes the target's place and the target serves.
• If the passer fails to pass ball to the target, the target rotates with the server, and the server replaces the passer.

RELATED: 3 Effective, Fun Volleyball Serving Drills

Black Sheep

This drill is to improve serving and receiving with designated passers.

• Two teams of six, one on each side of the net.
• Teams set up in game positions.
• One player wears a different colored jersey.
• As the ball is served, player with the different jersey is the only one allowed to make the first pass.
• Other players must adjust accordingly.
• To add a twist, set 2 minutes on the clock.

Footwork Drills

This drill consists of many steps to improve footwork.

• Each player has a partner.
• Using the full volleyball court, one partner (A) stands on the serving line while the other partner (B) stands on the 10-foot line.
• Shuffle Pass: Partners face each other. Partner A has the ball first and tosses to the left.
• Partner B shuffles from middle to left side and passes the ball back.
• Partner A tosses the ball to the right.
• Partner B shuffles from left to right, staying low, and passes directly to Partner A.
• This drill is fast (10 x each side, switch).
• Toe touch: Same positions as the Shuffle Pass.
• Players focus on running through the ball and backpedaling to pass the ball.
• Partner A begins by tossing the ball short (around 3 feet).
• Partner B begins on the server line and runs through the ball to pass.
• After passing the ball, Partner B touches the toe of Partner A to ensure she is staying low.
• As soon as Partner A receives the ball, she tosses it deep (behind server line).
• Partner B backpedals to make a successful pass (10x short and deep, rotate).
