Rally Together with the AVCA College Coach Panel

Rally Together with the AVCA College Coach Panel - Part II

In partnership with the AVCA, North Country Region will be hosting our second AVCA College Coach Recruiting Panel on Tuesday, May 12th @ 5 PM CST. All coaches, players and parents are welcome and encouraged to participate in this free webinar!

Our first College Coaches' Panel was excellent! That recruiting panel included experienced coaches from Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA and the NJCAA:

Division I: Geoff Carlston - Former Big 10 Head Coach at Ohio State University
Division II: Wayne Chadwick - Former Head Coach at Bemidji State University
Division III: Beth Wilmeth - Head Coach at University of Northwestern - St. Paul
NAIA: Brigitte Greywater - Head Coach at Valley City State University
NJCAA: Jane Peterson - Head Coach at Central Lakes College

The panel was enlightening from a coach and parent perspective with insight as to how many and what type of scholarships are available at each level, what coaches are looking for in recruiting videos, how to get a player on the radar and/or how best to reach out to college coaches, what the student-athlete commitment looks like at each level, and so much more! The link to the first panel is provided below.

In addition, participants have the opportunity to enter questions in real time to be answered by the panel.

North Country Region is excited to hear from the coaches the AVCA has gathered to participate in the AVCA College Coach Recruiting Panel - Part II on Tuesday night:

Division I: Susan Halverson - Former Assistant Coach at Ohio State University
Division II: Paul McDonald - Former Head Coach at Francis Marion University
Division III: Emily Hayes - Head Coach at Lewis & Clark College
NAIA: Erin Luthy - Head Coach at Taylor University
NJCAA: Jim Deitz - Lincoln Land Community College

Register prior to the event to be able to join. The registration link for the seminar can be found on the North Country Region LinkTree.

Please share this great opportunity with any parents and players who are considering pursuing volleyball at the next level!

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 . . . . The plan

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. This is definitely a volleyball project worth investing time and effort into building. The rebound board can be used by one or more players as demonstrated in the videos below. 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

Rally Together with Thursday Technical Training - This One's for You, Setters!

Today marks our final Thursday Technical Training post, and we've saved an important one for last - this one's for you, Setters! Making time to get those reps in daily will elevate your level of play and finding that rhythm and consistency will put you a step ahead of your competition. Grab your volleyball and check out some of these setter training videos: Setter U shared a challenging Setter Medicine Ball Warm-Up on their Instagram feed. If you're a setter, definitely give them a follow - the Setter U Instagram page is loaded with tips, inspiration and training ideas - some of which include the following training tools we've posted about here on our Rally Together blog: Rebound Board & Setter Target ! Olympian Alisha Glass (and former Penn State setter!) demonstrates two at-home setting drills that she uses. Find them on the Art of Coaching Volleyball website HERE ! Team USA setter, Lauren Carlini (and former Wisconsin setter!) walks you through some side
