This principle is so obvious that it should not be necessary to discuss it. The only reason it is mentioned here is that more poor teamwork and lack of co-ordinated effort occurs in volleyball than in any other team sport. There seems to be at least one player on most teams who is more interested in pointing out the mistakes of his team mates than in winning the game. You can hear his shrill scream of accusation throughout the game, but particularly in the crucial spots when team morale is so vital. Fortunately, the problem is easily solved by giving this player a seat on the bench next to the coach where he can put his insight to more positive use.
There is another enemy of teamwork which a good volleyball team must overcome. That is the tendency of most players to become disinterested when not actually playing the ball. It is usually caused by a lack of intensive drilling on team play and can be solved by a well-planned practice schedule.
