🏐 Volleyball training and games

Hi everyone 🏐
We are happy to invite you to the next Smashing Expats training session. This session focuses on a new net-play technique, combined with team communication and collective adaptation during offensive plays.
The technical emphasis will be on tipping and soft attack techniques over or around the block, and on how the team adjusts positioning and communication to support continuation after a soft attack.
In game situations, soft attacks are often used to disrupt a well-formed block or defense. We will train how to execute controlled tips, how teammates anticipate the continuation ball, and how the team communicates quickly to reorganize offense and defense once the ball comes back.
