Volleyball Fundamentals Program 2014-15….Club Volleyball the In the Zone way.
In the Zone is establishing a girls volleyball program focusing on teaching, practicing and refining players’ fundamentals. At In the Zone, we believe that athletes never out-grow and can never get enough of the game’s fundamentals. These basics are the building blocks that all else is built upon.
Our program will differentiate itself from other traditional club programs in several ways:
- Our season will run Dec-Feb instead of Nov-Jun like traditional clubs. We won’t interfere with spring sports like softball, lacrosse, AAU basketball and track. And it won’t run into the summer.
- This will be a fundamentals driven, skill based program. We won’t play in tournaments or leagues. We will have a few local scrimmages but the focus will be on developing fundamentals. Since everything is local, players can probably do this program AND a winter sport, like basketball or swimming.
- When teaching the fundamentals, its often more beneficial to focus on practice sessions than games. Fundamental development occurs through repetition. Reps are accomplished in practice. In a game, how many times will a player get to serve? 5-10 times maybe. How many digs? A couple—if that. During a well run and efficient practice, you can get 10-20 times the number of reps that you get in a game.
This is essentially a DEVELOPMENTAL program and is intended for players with limited experience: Recommended Ages: 4th grade-8th grade
Lessons will be held Sundays 6:00-8:00 pm starting December 7, 2014 and ending February 22, 2015
