This session is designed to help players develop the essential techniques and strategies needed to excel in the setter position. Athletes will focus on improving their footwork, hand positioning, decision-making, and court awareness, with an emphasis on accurate sets and quick, smart decisions under pressure. Through a combination of drills and personalized feedback, players will learn to become more effective at controlling the tempo of the game, setting up offensive plays, and building chemistry with their hitters. Whether you're looking to refine your skills or take your game to the next level, this clinic will provide the tools and guidance to elevate your performance.  This session will have a maximum of 16 participants.

In this session, we’ll focus on skills specific to the Libero or defensive specialist positions while exploring key responsibilities and essential skills of the roles. Participants will have an opportunity to improve floor defense by learning digging techniques including diving and pancakes through drills designed to enhance hand positioning, body control, and quickness to get low and cover unexpected attacks. The session also emphasizes defending a range of attack hits, teaching players how to anticipate, adjust their platform, and read hitters for better positioning.

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.

In this session, we will focus on developing the skills and responsibilities of the middle position. Players will work on key aspects such as quick transitions from offense to defense, effective blocking techniques, and timing for attacking in the middle. We'll emphasize the importance of reading the setter, reacting quickly to tips and off-speed attacks, and improving the speed of the middle hitter’s approach. Drills will incorporate both offensive and defensive scenarios, including fast-paced setter-middle connections and positioning for blocking against the opponent's attackers. By the end of the session, players will have a stronger understanding of their role and be more confident in executing the skills essential for success in the middle position.

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.

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.
