First Real Session

Commentary, General Updates Add comments

Well last night we had our first real training session.  We had planned it as an optional open gym, but with everyone there I figured we might as well do some training!

This early on we are trying to establish some basic motor skills that are needed to be able to teach certain techniques in the detailed way that we want them performed.  We went over how to cover the same distance of court in several different ways and several different numbers of steps.  We also speant a great deal of time with hip direction in regards to passing.  Lots of catch and freeze and catch and flip toss was used to work on hip orientation.  We are strong believers in hips initially face where the ball is coming from, then in flight are redirected to our target.  We also worked on body placement for arm swings.  Way too often coaches and players focus so much on the arm swing when truly 90% of the issue is getting you body in the right place to perform the arm swing. 

Overall, I thought it was a very successful practice in that we speant a great deal of time and effort on the building blocks of skills.  Movement patterns, hip orientation, hand to ball contact, and body positioning for the arm swing.  It wasn’t overly intense…..that comes later :-)

I can’t tell you how excited I am to continue working with these girls.  Next Sunday is out becasue I have my NDA Volleyball Banquet, but the following Sunday is looking pretty good!  Check back for more updates!
