I attended three of them.<\/p>\n<p>The first session was nominally about the most important things for point scoring in mens&#8217; and boys&#8217; volleyball. It turned out to basically be a talk about serving and blocking. There was supposed to be a discussion of transition play too, but there wasn&#8217;t enough time. The men&#8217;s coaches for Stanford, Ohio State, and UCLA made up the panel.<\/p>\n<p>The second session was on in-match setter management. Salimia Rockwell of Penn State was the presenter. It was a really entertaining talk. A lot of what Salima talked about actually had to do with pre-match work. That&#8217;s scouting and game-planning.<\/p>\n<p>The last session I attended could be thought of as kind of statistical benchmarks. It was a look at key team statistical performance metrics. They went through 14s girls, 16s boys, Division I and II college men, and Division I college women. The presentation showed a couple of things. One was which metrics most correlate to winning, while the other was where teams came in at for those metrics.<\/p>\n<p>More sessions were on tap for <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/avca-convention-2016-day-3\/\">Friday<\/a>. I also had a Wizards-themed presentation to make. It was to be a long day in the convention center!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second day of the 2016 AVCA Convention got things into full swing.
