 Serve receive rating:

 

To rate your serve-receive passing you will assign the following:

0=you were aced

1=ball passed but can't be set properly 

2=ball passed so the setter can set 2 options

3=ball passed so the setter can set anywhere

 

On serve-receive, the server must serve a variety of serves to produce an accurate score.  Tally your score and divide your score by the number of serves.

Example:

passes 1,2,0,0,2,2,3,3,2,3

10 serves

Score = 18

18 / 10 = 1.8

Serve receive rating = 1.8

 

This is a small sample, to get an accurate rating complete 100 serve receive passes over the period of a practice, not all at once. 

Homework

 

Over the course of the season, VBVBA players are challenged on and off the court.  We discuss and require study in leadership, teamwork, friendship, loyalty & dedication, to name just a few topics.  This season we will dive into the works of the great Coach John Wooden.  Please visit Coach Wooden's official site for more info.  Click here for Coach Wooden.

Player of Practice:

For me, there is no greater failure as a player, than a girl who simply chooses not to give her best effort.  There may be many reasons she elects to hold back.  Maybe she had a bad day, maybe she's afraid of the pressure, maybe she does not realize that by shining, she will allow others to shine.         

Whatever the reason, it is my goal to help players realize that effort is so important.  Mistakes will happen, but true champions will continue to strive-on and play-on despite those mistakes.  No one understands what a true champion is better than the great Coach Wooden.  Here is what he has to say about effort:

From Coach John Wooden:
The great competitors all share a joy, which comes from the struggle (that is, the battle, the competition) - the journey, the contest.  They share the joy because only in that supreme effort is there an opportunity to summon your best, a personal greatness that cannot be diminished, dismissed, or derided because of a final score.

The hard struggle is to be welcomed, never feared.  In fact, when you define success this way, the only thing to fear is your own unwillingness to make the full 100 percent effort to prepare and perform at the highest level of your ability.

Congratulations to the players who gave their best effort!
