Volleyball Passing MADE SIMPLE | Pick a Side and Perfect Your Pass with Tama Miyashiro

T
Tama Miyashiro • USA Volleyball
Olympic Silver Medalist Libero & Former USA Women's National Team Assistant Coach

Session Overview

Former U.S. Women's National Team Libero and Assistant Coach Tama Miyashiro uses Olympic game film of Kelsey Robinson and Justine Wong-Orantes to teach the 'Pick a Side' serve-receive philosophy, showing passers how to take balls outside their midline with an early decision and a held finish.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

  • Trying to get the body squarely behind fast, late-moving float serves causes passers to get jammed on their midline; instead, 'pick a side' early.
  • Read the server's toss and hand contact immediately to decide whether you are taking the ball on your left side or right side.
  • Stay with the ball through contact and hold your platform angle on the finish to guide the pass accurately to the target.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:
"Pick a side early—left or right of midline""Drop your inside shoulder to create the angle""Hold your platform finish to the target"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Gold-standard USA Volleyball instruction on modern off-midline passing mechanics backed by slow-motion Olympic serve-receive film.
