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: 

  • 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 setting reps HERE.  All you need is a ball and a wall!
  • Give this Wall Sit Strength & Setting challenge from the Art of Coaching Volleyball a try.  Work on your technical training and conditioning simultaneously!  
Keep those hands busy - you won't regret it!

    Your latest blog post on the 'Rally Together' initiative is nothing short of fantastic! The dedication to keeping our volleyball community engaged and motivated is truly commendable. The Thursday Technical Training series, with a special focus on setters this time, is a goldmine of valuable insights and resources.

    I love how you've curated setter training videos from reputable sources like Setter U and featured insights from Olympians like Alisha Glass and Lauren Carlini. It adds a level of expertise that players can truly benefit from.

    Your emphasis on the importance of daily reps, diverse training methods, and adaptability with at-home drills is spot on. It shows a keen understanding of what players need, especially during these challenging times. The Wall Sit Strength & Setting challenge is a brilliant combination of technical and physical training.

    The positive call to action at the end is a perfect way to motivate players to stay active and committed to their training. It's clear that your blog is not just about sharing information but about building a strong and supportive volleyball community.

    Kudos to you for your outstanding contributions to the North Country Region Volleyball community! Your efforts in providing valuable content and fostering a sense of togetherness are truly appreciated. Keep up the excellent work

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
