In this session, we will focus on blocking and back row defense. For blocking we will cover reading where the ball is being set to, moving to the ball efficiently and with the best footwork to produce a stronger block jump, blocking position and hand placement. For backrow defense, we look at starting position (on the court as well as body posture), seeing/reading the attacker, arm placement and movement. Strategy and placement of defenders will also be covered before full court drills are introduced when groups are combined.

After the team’s first pass has been executed, games are determined by the connection between setter and attacker. In this session, we will work in 2 groups. One group of players will work on arm swing, approach, hand contact and timing of attack. The second group will be setters working on hand contact, movement to the ball, set location, and strategy of set variance to increase the probability of a side out. After each group works individually, groups will combine to allow for work in-system and live feedback on performance. Small game situation drills may also be implemented based on the group's skill level.

When it comes to reception, the outcome of a play is often dictated by the quality of the first pass. This session will focus solely on the first contact, whether overheard using hands, or underhand using forearms. We will walk through techniques and when to apply them. We will also look at reception forms and strategies to help maximize the success of your team’s first contact.

For players at any level, this is an opportunity to develop your skills whether you’re newer to the game or have been playing for years and looking to refine your technique.  

We will touch on each of the main aspects of volleyball: Passing (overhead and underhand), attacking, serving, defense (front and back row). Drills will aim to maximize the number of contacts for each athlete. We will also play small games to stress and grow skills with in-the-moment feedback.
