Volleyball videos are usually about 20 minutes long. 

Please click on to see a Windows Media Player Movie of a volleyball skills video of a Defensive Specialist from College Sports Exposure.

Introduction -- The video should start with a brief introduction by the player where she gives her name, height, positions, academic information, high school, travel teams, years played and awards.  Most importantly, the player also gives her uniform number or a brief description of herself or attire, i.e. pony tail, ankle brace, etc.   The uniform number and player description helps the coach identify the prospective player in the video. 

Skill Segment -- College coaches prefer volleyball videos that show both a skill and game segment.  The skill segment should show 5 to 10 repetitions of the player free ball passing, serve receive passing, setting, serving, blocking footwork and attacking different sets.  The entire court should be shown when filming serving so the coach can view the player's ability to serve to different areas of the court. 

Some coaches like the player to approach jump to a basketball goal.  This gives them an indication of how high she can touch. 

Game Segment -- The game segment is un-edited footage so that the coach can see how the player reacts in a game.  The coaches doesn't want perfect footage because they want to know what happens when she or the team makes a mistake as well as when she and team are successful.
