Rally Together with Coach Alfred Reft: Part II

Video #2: Blocking Transition

Alfred Reft, Associate Head Coach of the University of San Diego, brings us the second video in his series of At-Home Skills Training.  Coach Reft brings his years of high-level experience and competition to this series of training videos.  Each video is a total workout complete with instruction, demonstration, timed repetitions and even water breaks.  

This second skills training workout focuses on what is often considered to be one of the most under-taught skills in the game of volleyball - blocking.  Coach Reft breaks down BLOCKING TRANSITION, giving detailed insight and the opportunity for valuable reps including ball control specifically tailored to blockers.  

Players, you will want to add this video to part of your weekly #stayhome skills training regimen and share it with your teammates.  Coaches, do not miss the opportunity to pass this valuable training tool on to your players.  

Be sure to subscribe to the North Country Region YouTube channel where you can find Coach Reft's first video in this series: Ball Control Movement.  

For more detailed information on Coach Alfred Reft and his esteemed volleyball career, see our blog post from last Friday launching this excellent At-Home Skills Training series.

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).  Both devices work well for their individual purposes.   The plans are even simple enough for players to help build themselves with a little supervision!   Shalyn building her own setter target! "Measure twice, cut once!" And here's the finished product in action...
