Volleyball. Training and Playing. Ocean Beach, San Francisco
San Francisco, CA
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GROUP?
Training and Playing was started out of the need to have more volleyball training locations available to the average, adult volleyball player. Up until now if you wanted to learn and improve your volleyball skills you would normally look online under “Volleyball in the area”, join a group that seemed appealing, and hopefully be accepted and learn by playing.
You probably found that most groups are looking for players who are intermediate or better. The few groups where beginners are welcome would not really have training available.
With Training and Playing you can get around like minded players who are wanting to train and get to playing as soon as possible. Besides players what else do you need to play volleyball? Balls, nets, courts, training courts, training nets. These are all available upon request.
WHO SHOULD JOIN?
IF you are an intermediate or advanced level player who has not found a group of players who are looking to improve their skills, come join us and get better faster.
If you are a novice or beginner who really needs to work on the basics, come join us and quickly get to the next level of play.
If you are a student player who has found that going the club route is way too expensive, come check us out.
If you just want to play volleyball and are a fun and generous person you should definitely come. We’ve been looking for you!
WHAT WILL YOU DO AT THE EVENTS?
First you will set up a training court.
Although this is training the main drill you will do is pepper. Is there a right way to pepper? Check this out: https://youtu.be/k-gqpvFq4Gw
We use pepper to warm up. Here are 12 variations of pepper. Three variations can be done with a net but don’t require a net. bit.ly/3CNO1wl
We then go into cooperative play, using the training court, where we focus on improving one or several skills at a time. You’re essentially peppering or playing; you play every ball as much as possible. It is during this time that you ask the players you’re practicing with for help on improving and you also offer tips that can help your fellow players. Here’s a video of players doing cooperative play. https://youtu.be/0-LPqjsZrPM
Finally, you do competitive play. There are rules bit.ly/2ZrDkky Here are a few videos of players doing competitive play https://youtu.be/Z2dDf7fscDo and https://youtu.be/zugeVkgJU0M
Watch this video to better understand what we’re doing with the training courts - working on ball control, vision, and touch on the ball. https://youtu.be/-_JNP2vsSuE
