For the next 30 minutes they will combine with setters and hone timing skills in attacking, blocking and other team related skill situations as well as work on team and tactical skills and apply them potentially in a six on six situations. At the start of the session there will be a lot of emphasize on individual repetition vs game play. These sessions are geared at individual improvement and hard working athletes to take their game to the next level. Team play is not a priority in these sessions.

Position Specific Training - Middle Blocker

volleyball PSTEOne of the most difficult positions to play well and correct, but also one of the most rewarding in the game. Good middle blockers are what a team revolves around on offence (scoring and holding the other middle blockers to create one on ones) and defence (blocking).

As part of PSTE we will cover and teach or solidify the following:

 

  • Proper footwork, movement, body & proper arm positions
  • Transition footwork when coming of the net – 2 step vs. 3 step
  • Proper footwork for static and swing blocking
  • Communication with your setter
  • Reading your opponent (Setter, other attackers, key on your middle blocker)
  • Attacking options – 53, 51, 31, 61, slide
  • Triangle relationship – MB, Libero and Setter
  • Setting the second ball situation
  • Serving
  • Serve and play “Defence”
  • Immediate video feedback via “Coaches Eye”
Position Specific Training - Outside Hitter
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”
