Volleyball - Thursday May 14

Fitness Free Thursday!

1.  Warm up for your volleyball drills.

2.  We're going to re-do a setting workout from a few weeks ago and I'd like you to video yourself and critique your setting for drills #1-3 (I've just finished a clinic on "Observational Learning - so we'll do this a few times in the coming weeks)

1. Rapid Fire to wall 100x
2. Low/High (with weight transfer) against the wall 100x
3. Single legs against the wall 10 sets of 10 continuous = 100x
4. 50x right handed
5.  50x left handed
6.  Side set left 50x
7.  Side set right 50x
8.  Back set 100x
9.  360 - 5x around each way = 10-360s.

Taken from the video of Charlene Johnson.  If you need a reminder of how to do these drills - please go back and watch the video that was posted on Tuesday April 21.

Analyze your technique using the technique cues taken from her video:

  • shape hands (thumbs across, pointers pointing)
  • wrists extend
  • hands high (above head)
  • knees bent - power from the legs - weight transfer
  • hips to target
  • tight tummy
Text me one cue that you did well, one that you need to work on.

Volleyball Challenge of the Day: "Variety Pyramid" (compliments of Georgia, thanks Georgia!)

Work at this for a while.  How many times can you go through the pyramid before losing control?  Text me your best #.

Start with a self toss ... then...
