Congrats On A Great First Tournament

Great job on your first tournament.  I'm especially proud of the way you all played in the last game of the day, with positive energy and solid focus, well done!  At the end of the tournaments the team that has the most enthusiasm and love for the game will be the one that wins and in the end that was us! It was a bummer that we ended in a 3 way tie in our pool, next Power League tournament we will have to get over our 2nd set slump and dominate in two rounds!

Positives:
-Serving, we did an excellent job. Mckenna our first server didn't miss one all tournament, absolutely incredible.

-Passing/serve receive we did a great job even against tough attacks and serves!  Putting backspin and getting your arms out early makes all the difference. 

-Setters you did a great job with the new systems, they are different but will ultimately be what makes us more successful then our opponents.

Improvement Points:
-Cheers-scratch the ace cheer, i's just not working and a few others we need to work out, but hey I noticed we were one of the only teams with that kind of team camaraderie even if it wasn't all put together :)

-Transitions have got to get faster, we need to move from offense to defense and back to base back to offense...and so on QUICKLY!  All this takes is discipline and focus.  We spend entirely to much time watching the ball rather then focusing on more important things like setting up our offense and defense.  If you can learn to transfer faster and to stay in a balanced body position through out an entire rally you will not only improve as a volleyball player but you will increase your volleyball IQ by being a smart player.

Next, we need to work on our offense (which includes hitting, setting, and covering the hitter).  Skills wise we need to improve on setting consistently and hitting wise we need to position ourselves better in order to actually hit, not just down ball it.   As far as cover goes, I will implement a new cover strategy before our next tournament that should help clear up confusion.

That's it for now, enjoy Monday off.  Our next tournament  5 practices away.
