Rally Together and Train Skills at Home

Yesterday we provided links for five volleyball specific conditioning workouts to utilize while we #StayHome. Today, let's look at some daily options for volleyball specific SKILLS training. Taking time each day for a conditioning workout and adding a skills workout to that repertoire will prepare us in the best possible way for that moment when we get to step back on the volleyball court with out teammates! Check out some of the following links for some at-home skills training workouts and ideas:

Rally Together with a Weekend Family Project!

It's Friday which means the weekend is here - yay! This weekend how about spending some time on a fun family project - building a setter target that will provide hours of volleyball practice while we #StayHome. I've heard a few great things about this particular target: Relatively simple and inexpensive to build on your own Target basket is adjustable to different heights and angles Not too heavy to move and transport Families who have used the below plans to create a target have tailored them to their specific needs - one following the plans exactly and one varying slightly the target shape and adding a net (see Hally's video above).

Rally Together with a New Weekend Family Project!

TGIF! Looking forward to the weekend, and no better way to spend the weekend than another fun family volleyball project! Just like the last project we posted ( a Setter Target ), this rebound board will provide hours and hours of volleyball fun and valuable reps! The plans for this particular rebound board were created by engineer by day/volleyball dad by night and weekend, Greg Samson, who graciously agreed to share them with all of us! These plans include diagrams and detailed instruction, making them easy to follow, and the board itself is made to last.

Using the board with the Setter Target is a great way to get setting reps off of a "live" ball - it's about as realistic as we can get right now! A genuine "thank you" to Greg for not only creating these plans but also for sh
