A lot of the players were relatively inexperienced. They also came from an array of different countries (about 25 all together). I designed the guide as something to give everyone our basic structure. We only trained a couple of times each week, and and there wasn&#8217;t much time between tryouts and our first match to set things up. The guide helped speed up the process of developing team play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guide goes over a few primary areas of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rotation-by-rotation set up for a <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/setting-starting-rotation-5-1\/\">5-1 system<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotation-by-rotation primary serve receive formation (with notes and observations)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondary serve receive formation for each rotation (with notes and additional ideas)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional points of emphasis for serve receive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diagrams for base defense and notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diagrams for perimeter (middle back) defense for attacks through zones 4, 3, and 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notes and thoughts on defense implementation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free ball and down ball defense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The guide is 9 pages long.&nbsp;Depending on the your team and players, you might find it useful to introduce the 5-1 offense, and the basic ideas of the perimeter defensive system as well. I think it&#8217;s a pretty comprehensive look at things. Because I wrote it for a specific situation, though, there may be things which are more or less applicable for you and your own team\/program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a copy, fill out the form below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I developed a player&#8217;s guide while coaching at the University of Exeter where I worked with a variety of experience levels and playing backgrounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,16],"tags":[130,231,286],"class_list":["post-13077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-coaching-resources","category-volleyball-coaching-strategy","tag-defense","tag-offensive-systems","tag-serve-receive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
