At practice, we want them to get as many touches on the ball doing things the right way. We want coaches and players engaged, active and learning. We believe in training all ages in all the volleyball skills to make well rounded players. As they progress, we will start to focus on position specific skills in addition to whole group training.
At tournaments, expect to be there for several hours. They usually play in 3 or 4 team pools so they each get the equivalent of 3 matches a day (6 sets). For the younger ages, the goal is growing the game and developing players so everybody will get to play every match. This doesn’t mean they will play the whole time but will get close to equal playing time amongst the boys. At the high school level, the stronger players will get more playing time but everyone will play every tournament, just not every match. Practice time directly affects playing time so the boys that attend practices, hustle and have a good attitude will play more.
