As I mentioned a little while back, I’m in the US for the rest of August and the early part of September. That started at the University of Rhode Island on Wednesday, where the team is in the early part of their preseason. I think they got things going with 2-a-days on Friday. If you’ve read my bio, you may recall that I mentioned coaching at URI. That was back during 2000-01. The head coach from then is still running the program and one of my former men’s volleyball club teammates from my URI undergraduate days is the Associate Head Coach these days.
It was a really enjoyable day being at the old haunts, watching the team go through its two training sessions and getting to talk lots of volleyball stuff with my fellow coaches. I got plenty of ideas for drills and game scoring systems which I’ll share in future posts. I’ve got a couple more days hereabouts before heading off to L.A. for the next part of the adventure.
