Volleyball practice

Volleyball is going really well. I am amazed. These girls are really stepping up and doing more than they have to do. We even had a "wager" today on a serve making it in bounds for who cleans up and they all won. They STILL helped me clean up. Absolutely awesome.

We have been doing some scrimmaging. It is working pretty well, especially when we stop and tell them why we are doing certain drills when it comes up in a game situation. I think they are having a ton of fun with it too.

We usually start with stretches and a brief job. Monster crunches. Foot fire. Push ups. I had to model correct pushups today, showing that rigid body (I probably can't do 20 in a row anymore but I can do three perfectly modeled ones).

We did a serving drill today, and then a serving and a solo dig drill. Then we scrimmaged for a while today, probably forty minutes. Teams rotate out after losing a ball. If they just get beaten, it's just a lap around the small elementary school gym. If they serve it into the net or out of bounds, then it's pushups or crunches. Gotta have those serves in.

We are concentrating on the basics. Get it over the net. Don't kill your team with mistakes.
