Hello, Volleyball Drills, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please remember to disclose these connections. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 06:52, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Your refs all seemed to be of unknown provenance, and are probably personal websites.
 * It was a how-to page, which is not the purpose of an encyclopaedia, which reports facts and doesn't offer instruction. Your sandbox article is going down the same route, but I haven't deleted it yet to give you a chance to fix it.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. I note that you created a second account, now blocked, which explicitly said you were going to promote the volleyballexplained.com. You also use that as a source in your article, rather than sites affiliated to proper sports organisations
 * the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article you must declare it.

My son has many players on his team that wanted to know if there was some great drills out there &mdash; you found the drills, all you need to do is give the links to the players or their parents, or print them off yourself. Helping to train your team isn't what Wikipedia is for. I accept that you created your page in good faith but you have misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia, and in any case you can't have a private page.
