Southwind Volleyball Club October Training prior to the Junior Olympic Season (2010 training series)

"October Training" is designed to help athletes prepare for Junior Olympic tryouts in early November. Athletes are drilled on individual skills while team strategies are introduced to players.

"October Training" is open to 4th thru 8th grade athletes who are no longer participating in volleyball leagues or volleyball teams with their schools. Southwind is introducing a new model of training for volleyball athletes. Our Training Track series is designed to work specific skills for advanced players interested in becoming stronger at their primary position on the court. It is also set up and designed for athletes new to the sport of volleyball. Our model of training ensures athletes learn, in depth, the body movement and control to execute the various skills needed to be successful in the sport of volleyball.

Athletes are allowed to choose from the different tracks (1 hour long) and create a training system best suited for them. The model is designed that athletes start with track 1 in any of the skills before choosing from the following tracks. Example, you must complete track 1 of setting (basics of setting) before moving to track 2 of setting (setting movements) and so on. Athletes are encouraged to attend tracks more than once to provide a thorough understand and ability to execute the skills. Exception to skip a track is by permission only and is given by the club director. (rachelmagana@southwindvb.com)
