Friday we did a bunch of transition work. I know it is a little more advanced than what some of you are used to but I think it went well. If you only take one thing away from the whole night, take the following concept: volleyball is played before you get the ball. Once the ball has arrived it's a little to late to make corrections to your form. You need to always be ready to get the ball, and when the ball is heading your direction you need to be as prepared as possible for that brief contact. I'm telling you, if you really worked hard on always getting into position and using good form, you'd be set. Once you're in the air and trying to hit the ball, it's a little to late to stay behind it, Or once the serve is contacting your arms, its a little to late to get your butt behind the ball.
It was nice to see Jessica and Molly who we haven't seen yet this summer. Jessica stepped right in and did some fantastic transition work, and I think she grew since last season.
Next week we are going back to hitting. We will be missing some of the setters so we will work more on form and probably use the ball machine to set for us. If you read this, I want to you do 15 approaches every day. Even if you think you've got a good approach, it is always good to do some big approaches, REALLY BIG approaches.
