This volleyball session introduces players to the correct technique for a successful Bump and Set.
To work on this technique we start with the basics and following a musical warm up we look at how to build the bump - passing the ball off your forearms from a balanced stance to set up a player on your team.
Contrary to what some of your players might think, the power for this passing technique doesn't come from swinging your arms at the ball but instead it's from the legs!
What's in the session?
Divided into three sections, this session starts by giving players time to practice and experiment with the technique. Once they've got the hang of this we then get to work in small groups as a team, trying to keep the ball in the air using the bump and set for as long as possible. Finally it's time to put their skills to the test in the final game!
The covers are on and the last tea has been served. What your club does between now and April decides how the next season starts. Here is a simple, honest winter plan for players, bowlers and juniors.
August is when seasons are decided, and most club games are lost chasing rather than setting. Give your batters a framework for the chase and you win the close ones.
Green July pitches and a shiny Dukes mean the ball is talking. Here is how to coach your batters to survive the moving ball, trust their defence, and cash in once the shine has gone.
