Watch as Coach Lyndsey Oates explains, and players demonstrate how they use pool noodles to help train their outside hitters. Using pool noodles is great if you are short on bodies or to save your players from over jumping. Setters focus on location and controlling tempo to the outside. Coach wants hitters comfortable hitting the high hand shot which is the best kill shot and also good for recycled balls.
