Sand Newcomb Volleyball is one of our first "Team" 5th - 8th grade units this year. Newcomb Volleyball combines the knowledge/rules of the game (boundary rules, touch rules, positioning, keeping score, rotations, hand-eye coordination) with throwing and catching. The main difference between sand volleyball and newcomb volleyball is the student's ability to catch and throw the ball over the net. Students do not use typical volleyball skills (set, forearm pass, bump, spike, etc.), but instead use the skills of catching and throwing to score points for their team. Sticking with our philosophy of small sided game play, students are broken up into match-ups of 3 v. 3 or 4 v. 4 to maximize skill building and activity time.
