Sethitpass was founded by Somers (Sandy) Butcher, a volleyball coach with over 30 years of experience at the college D2, high school, and club levels. He has coached many great players over the years and has won many conference and tournament championships as well as receiving bids to go USAV Nationals for the 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 age groups and AAU Nationals. He has also earned his USA CAP III certification.

For the past few years coaching, Sandy has focused on how to make some aspects of training players better, easier and more visual at all levels. He has trained well over a thousand volleyball players who have gone on to D1, D2, and D3 schools.

Sandy has attended many of the best teaching clinics and seminars over the years from some of the best volleyball coaches in the country on how to make athletes better, but he was always left with the lingering question of how to with less of the coach critiquing and more visually and allow the player to rate themselves more. We watch the players, and tell them to pass the ball at a target at around 8ft high. The coach tells you the pass to low or high etc.. but there is no device to help train you. Players in most cases do not like critiquing them even if you are trying to help them. Many times, they take it as you are telling them that they are not good enough. This is the same with a setter learning where to set the ball.

Sandy has coached elite teams, but also many teams that had little to no experience and had not won any games. The players would wonder if volleyball was the right sport for them, and the parents would say that they didn’t see any improvement. This would cause drama within the team dynamics. In both cases, coaches have their own ways of dealing with these issues, but in Sandy’s experience, this has not changed in 28 years. You need a better way to scientifically evaluate and improve players without relying just on verbal teaching.

Sandy decided to tackle the problem by coming up with a more scientific approach. He developed two products:

• The Ultimate Volleyball Trainer System: This trainer gives players a target that they can see for setting, passing, and hitting. It also has a rating system so that coaches, parents, and players can all see the player’s progress.
• My VB Stats app: This app allows players, coaches, and parents to enter scores and stats at each practice and game. The app then provides an overall performance report, as well as reports for individual practices and games.

My VB Stats app is free for coaches, ADs, club directors, and parents. Schools and clubs can even make a referral fee. There is a one-time per year single organization family subscription fee of $25.00 for as many players as are in the family, but this fee has been discount on website by $6.00.You can also purchase unlimited organization subscription for $35.00 less website discount of $5.00 equaling $30.00.If a school or club purchases Sandy’s Ultimate Volleyball Trainer System, everyone in the school or club gets a one-year free version of My VB Stats app. If a coach, AD, Club director becomes Partner with Sethitpass they will receive recurring income and also be to give their player deep discounts for My VB Stats.
