Jenna Jenkins, Neches: Game-Like Volleyball Drills & Coaching Systems

In small-school volleyball, athletes often arrive with limited experience—and it’s up to coaches to teach fundamentals, build confidence, and create competitive systems that work. In this course, Coach Jenna Jenkins of Neches High School shares the exact drills, practice structures, and coaching strategies that helped her program earn a state championship, state semifinal appearance, and a state runner-up finish.

You’ll get an inside look at how to design efficient practices, track performance, and push athletes to be brave in both skill execution and decision-making.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to create chaos for the opponent with tips, pushes, and finesse attacks that complement power hitting.

• Competitive drills like 2v2 Two-Touch, Survivor, and Rush that build decision-making, communication, and resilience.

• Systems for serve-receive and defensive posture, including “Feet First Defense” and order of operations for tracking the ball.

• How to use scoreboards, time limits, and serve-receive percentage tracking to measure progress and keep practices game-like.

• Rotational drills and point-earning systems that challenge athletes to cover, transition, and execute under pressure.

This course is more than a collection of drills—it’s a framework for coaches who want to maximize limited resources, accelerate player development, and build winning volleyball programs at any level.
