 New Curriculum for Development League, Champions League and GTA Premier League
We spent countless hours this summer writing a new and improved curriculum for our Development, Champions and GTA Premier Leagues. With the aid of 2010 University Coach of the Year and former National Team player Dustin Reid, we also created a series of Volleyball Rubrics for each skill. We will use the rubrics when evaluating the players in the leagues. 2 days of photo shoots with Diem Huynh, over 1,000 action shots, 20 hours of editing and writing ... the result: outstanding teaching and evaluation tools for our players. |

| Coaching Tip of the Month
Submitted by 3-time Ontario Coach of the Year, Kelly Smith
 HittingWhen practicing hitting, it's okay for novice players to hit with the coach tossing the ball so the sets are consistent and the players learn the timing of hitting. Hitting poor sets is an important skill to learn but it can be stressful on the shoulders and knees so learning with a coach tossing consistent sets is desirable. Players should begin attacking balls from their setter once they have the basics of hitting down. Next, they should practice hitting with a single, then double block. |
