Episode 276 - Skylar "Dale" Davis

1 hour 44 minutes Posted Apr 6, 2026 at 7:21 am.

The transition from big court to short court: what we talk about and the obvious miss, the value and skill set indoor players brought to the beach, coaching club and the Sand Bar

How does someone become a good setter? Plus, good male setters that did not use their hands, as well as great hands setters who are not talked about enough, the brilliance of Bruno Oscar Schmidt

The women's beach scene, and the hostile takeover of the next generation of great female players, JVA's showcases, BVNE's 'No hands call" tournaments

Interesting venues, FUD's, historically educated crowds, pioneering new ideas, Dana Camacho satire

Making improvements and changes as you get older, maintaining an IQ and still have the body to do something with it, plus, skills vs drills and the debate of athleticism vs better volleyball technique, who is you GOAT?

How we got into the sport, the value of the finite nature of a 15-point rally game, "Rollo Vincent," great books, great films, etc.
