TOURNAMENT SUMMARY

14 Pink went 2-2 at our 2nd League Tournament at Capital Sports Center in Sacramento. Coaches were pleased with how players were able to adapt to playing different positions and easily switch between running a 5-1 and a 6-2.

OFFENSE—THINGS TO CELEBRATE!

Serving

• The team averaged a 29% ace percentage!
• Cami led the team in aces again, earning 55 aces throughout the day. Claire was not far behind with 43 aces during the day!

Hitting

• Lilly and Kayla S. led the team in kills this weekend with 12 kills and 13 kills, respectively.
• We’re starting to integrate all 3 hitters in our offense: Mya, Sophia, and Ciera all got hitting attempts from the right side!

OFFENSE—THINGS TO PRACTICE…

Serving

• Meeting goals: Going in to the tournament we had a team goal of serving 80%, and we did not meet this goal, serving as a team at about 70%.

Hitting

• Working on a more diverse offense: All 3 hitters should be utilized more often when setting the front row.

DEFENSE—THINGS TO CELEBRATE!

Receive

• The team had multiple players passing close to the team goal of 2.00! Kayla B., Lilly and Alex all performed well in serve receive.
• Players communicated effectively to cover their passing seams!

Digging

• Selina and Lilly led the team in most digs.
• Our middles did a great job playing defense in the back row!

Blocking

• 2 different players had at least 1 solo block!
• Multiple players are getting touches at the net!

DEFENSE—THINGS TO PRACTICE…

Receive

• Perfecting our passes: We’ve improved at reducing the number of dropped balls in serve receive, but we want to strive to get better passes. We don’t want to settle for just being happy the ball is up. Consistent passing form will allow our 1.00 pass to become a perfect 3.00 pass!

Digging

• Tip Defense: Reading a hitter around the block will help players know when to cover short or stay deep.

Blocking

• Coaches would like players to focus on pressing forward when blocking at the net.
