Priorities:<\/strong> Start to identify best passers, work on mental and physical toughness and conditioning, court positional work<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training time:<\/strong> 2 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space:<\/strong> 1 court<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players:<\/strong> 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes:<\/strong> This session followed a hard one two nights prior, and a slower one the prior evening where the team worked on rotations positioning, and coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– – – The Plan – – –<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warm-up:<\/strong> Started with a dynamic warm-up because of lingering stiffness and fatigue from the sessions the prior two nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Positioning Work:<\/strong> Used the Newcomb<\/a> game to have players run through rotations, coverage, and base\/defense positioning work as a light on-court warm-up continuation featuring court movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving warm-up:<\/strong> I had them partner up across the net. They started at about half-court just serving the ball back and forth with a focus on good mechanics. As they felt warm they backed up until they got to the point of doing full court serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Game:<\/strong> Ran the Amoeba<\/a> serving game two times through to work on directional serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target serving:<\/strong> I had them do 5 good serves each to Zones 1 and 5 where they had to put the ball in the last 3 meters of the court, as well as 5 good serves in front of the 3-meter line. I gave them 5 minutes to complete the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving and passing:<\/strong> Ran the Get-2 passing drill<\/a> and recorded passing stats. Kept the drill going until there were 30 total 3-passes. About 6 balls hit the floor with no or insufficient player effort, resulting in 6 punishment runs (rather than going back to 0 as I wasn’t doing an out-loud count).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting:<\/strong> Had the whole team run quick attacks to help reinforce the need for good passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passing:<\/strong> Put the team through the Run Serve Receive<\/a> drill with each player having to get 7 good passes to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving:<\/strong> Ran the Run & Serve<\/a> drill to put the players under physical and mental pressure (especially after all the running they’d had to do prior).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game-play:<\/strong> To get them playing and to continue the process of mixing players up and giving them a chance to get to know each other on the court, I had them play Winners 3s<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team play:<\/strong> I finished up with 6 v 6 play to reinforce the positional work from the prior day and the beginning of training, and to start evaluating players by position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– – – Observations – – –<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I actually tried doing a winners variation drill after the second bit of passing, but the players were missing too many serves so I had to drop it quickly and move on. The serving bit which followed was scheduled, but just moved up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
