23.01.2022 MIDDLES! We will provide step-by-step instructions for attacking, blocking and transition footwork, arm swing, blocking hand positioning and even running slides.... Every skill in our program includes a complete explanation and demonstration. Throughout out the program, we will coach our players as they demonstrate the drills and gives them the type of valuable feedback. The first part of the program focuses on the offensive aspects of the middle hitter position. You'll learn effective practice drills for developing efficient footwork in middle hitters, which leads to dynamic approaches to the attack. Warm-up Drills for Middles: we will begin with two warm-up drills that stress good approach footwork and attacking different locations on the court. He emphasizes proper approach mechanics and also tells you what to look for and how to make corrections. Once in the correct position, middles will be able to easily hit with power to zone five or cut back to zone one. Serve Receive for Middles: we will help you to understand how to transition from different locations on the court without getting trapped in the serve receive. This is important as middles tend to either get in the way of passers or don't get into a good position to be involved in the offense. Discover drills that will help with the confusion caused by short serves. This drill will help you improve communication between the middle and the passer as they decide who needs to play the ball and will provide passing reps for your middle. Blocking for Middles: the second part of this program breaks down the skills needed to be a great blocker. We will take the time to discuss the technique a middle hitter uses to go from base to pin blocking positions. We cover body posture, footwork, hand work and how to be disciplined as a middle blocker. We will explain and demonstrate a hybrid blocking style that's similar to the swing block or what we like to call the "elbow drive. We will advocate a bent elbow drive, which we believe makes it easier for our blockers to seal the net. We will also cover footwork and follows up with a series of drills to reinforce proper techniques. Drills include training middle hitters to use their hands independently while blocking and also teaching middles to block quick attacks by jumping into the angle. The last drill in the program puts everything together. This combination drill is a game-speed drill that involves the middle passing, attacking, blocking, transitioning and attacking again. Middle hitters will get numerous game-speed reps while working on every skill they will use in a match. In this program, the technique is broken down bit by bit for novice players who need to learn basic skills. For the more advanced middle, the program offers complicated transition patterns and drills that force the middle to use their hands independently while blocking. The middle hitter role is difficult to train because it requires excellence in two very difficult skills, blocking and hitting.

07.01.2022 OUTSIDE HITTERS! Characteristics of an Outside Hitter: we will begin with expectations for outside hitters and what they need to do on the court to be successfu...l. Our philosophy will provide you with a blueprint for developing your skills as an outside hitters. Passing and Hitting Drills: we will showcase a series of drills that enable outside hitters to practice the movement patterns they need to master to be successful. We will shows you how to adjust the drill to see how movement patterns change based on where the ball is served. As the drill progresses, defenders and blockers are added and scoring is added to make the training more game-like. Blocking and Hitting Drills: This set of drills, which includes tip coverage to attack, digging to attack and blocking to attack, gives players opportunities to block from both the left side and middle before transitioning to a good attack position. Players are trained to work hard to get a big swing coming off the block. Drills for Hitting Out of System Out-of-system drills offer the opportunity for players other than setters to practice setting the ball to outside hitters. These drills also teach hitters how to adjust for an out-of-system ball. Competitive Drills: one of most beneficial drills in our program is this series of competitive drills. These drills use scoring systems to push players to compete. We will have outside hitters battle head-to-head in 6v6 games. These mini-games are scored to seven points, but only one player from each side can be set during the game. You'll see many different iterations of this drill including OH vs OH, RS vs RS, and back row attacker vs back row attacker. Another competitive drill is played 5v5 with no middles. Only pin hitters and pipe attackers can attack in this drill. Hitters learn how to take advantage of solo blocks, players learn how to block solo when necessary, and everyone learns how to defend when the block is not perfect. Conditioning for Hitters: All of these drills feature multiple attacks and game-like contacts in rapid succession. Though conditioning is certainly a big part of these drills, we will design them as volleyball drills first; the conditioning is just a result of the pace of the contacts. We will give you numerous drills that you can start using in your gym immediately. In addition, our observation on the different roles an outside hitter must master might change depending on how we evaluate players in the future.

04.01.2022 SETTERS! We will: Provide quality reps for our setters to improve consistency and accuracy. Train our setters to set "kill-able balls" from serve receive rotations and defensive transition.... Improve our setters' ability to see blockers and take better advantage of certain match-ups. Setter Fundamentals: Training setters to master the fundamentals like starting position, body position and hand position on the ball. We will perform a series of drills that give setters reps from different locations on the court and to different attacking positions. These drills create opportunities for setters to practice in game-like situations instead of standing still. Each drill shows how to set to both left- and right-side hitters. These drills are used to train novice setters and to refine the skills of more experienced ones. Situational Drills: you will learn game-like situations that setters must master in order to run an effective offense. Skills for addressing these situations include jump setting, tight pass sets, and spin moves on bad passes and setting after the block. These fast-paced, high-action drills cover concepts like covering hitters, spatial awareness, opponents' defensive vision, and defensive positioning. In the drill "Nines Cover Tip," setters set a back set, turn and cover a tip, dig the tip to themselves and turn and set the high ball to the left side. This drill, performed in a controlled setting, is an amazing simulation of the of fast-paced, chaotic action of a rally. Moreover, drills that work on emergency techniques, releasing from each rotational spot, ball control, speed to the ball and developing a feel for the ball-all of which are important setter skills. Characteristics and Priorities of a Setter: we will identify and explain six important mental characteristics to look for in a setter.
