| Coaching Tip of the Month
Submitted by 3-time Ontario Coach of the Year, Kelly Smith
 Float Serve
It is very important that the server keep their head level during the serve to ensure optimum vision and balance. For this reason, the knees should only be slightly flexed and the player should avoid vertical movement altogether. Bouncing the ball during the serving routine should be avoided. A weight shift forward is preferred over taking a step during the serve. If the serve tends to travel past the end line, the trajectory should be lowered. |

Featured Article
Profiles: Pakmen clinitian Hernán Humaña
Beach Volleyball is a rather unique sport whereby coaches cannot coach or be directly involved in the competitions. Therefore coaches need to prepare their athletes even more to be independent, mentally tough and possess the ability to problem solve themselves during matches. As a result, coaches sometimes do not receive or even expect recognition for their team's accomplishments. We felt the need to promote one coach, Hernan Human, because of his commitment to the growth of the sport and his love of competition.
Hernan is best known for coaching Canada's most successful Beach duo John Child and Mark Heese at the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics and on the World Tour. Hernan currently runs one of the best beach clubs in Canada, Elite Beach Volleyball Club. The club is well known for player development and has top players in several age divisions. |
