Today’s outside hitter has the most dominant role in the game. It is imperative as outside hitter to have a complete skill set in front row and back row. Coaches at post secondary institutions look to recruit a six-rotation outside hitter…meaning as outside hitter you need to be able to do it all(serve receive, defense and be able to score in the front & back row).
As part of PSTE we will cover and teach or solidify the following:
- Serve Receive reps – proper platform & passing angles
- Passing float & spin serve
- Defensive position & stance
- Defensive stance – reading with and without a block
- Attacking form left side & right side includes – footwork, proper movement, body & proper arm positions
- Attacking from the back row
- Attack transition in front row & back row – from defense to offence from serve receive to attack(swing hitting)
- Attacking options from left side, right side and back row – roll shots, tipping, line shots, cross courts shots, wipe off shots variations
- Immediate video feedback via “Coaches Eye”
