The Six skills sessions series

The Six Skills Series is the skills needed to be a well-rounded volleyball player. The sessions are short and focus on a single skill. In school and club volleyball, the coaches often do not have time to teach basic volleyball skills. Where can an athlete ensure they have a solid foundation to develop these skills? These sessions are an answer to this problem

If a person is not a good passer, they become a target for an opponent's serve or attack. A team without good passing will not win. Do not be that target. that weak link on your team. come learn how to pass. This is a chance for athletes to work on perfecting their overhand or underhand passing. The second part of these sessions is identifying the other team's weak passers and having a serve which will help you take advantage of this weakness.

This session is for the grade 7&8 athletes, it will prepare for the skill level they will need to make the jr teams in high school.
