Coaching Log – Oct 27 2014
Although it was a session before a league match, the absence of a number of players saw me run a high contact volume training session rather than working 6 v 6.

Although it was a session before a league match, the absence of a number of players saw me run a high contact volume training session rather than working 6 v 6.
A tough away first league match of the season was followed by a less-than inspiring morning training session.
A shortened session saw me work mainly 6 v 6 with a focus on problem areas identified in the club league match the team played on Sunday.
In what was a disappointing session on the intensity and focus front after a pretty good one the night before, the focus was 6 v 6 play for match prep.
The first go at 6 v 6 play after shifting from a 2-setter to a 1-setter system showed a massive improvement.
After a hard session the night before, the team was pretty poor in all facets of volleyball in this session.
Making the second team competitive with the first team in training games is a challenge many volleyball coaches face. Here are some ideas for doing it.
An integrated 6 v 6 game convinced me that I need to have A and B teams separated for at least the next few weeks to help the A team prepare for upcoming matches.
The first training session of the year focused on blocking movement, serving and passing - and on starting to develop the gym atmosphere I want.
