15-16u Girls Extended Outside

What to Expect

This session focuses on developing outside hitters’ ability to execute efficient attacks, transition quickly between front-row and back-row responsibilities, and adjust shot selection based on defensive reads. Athletes will refine approach mechanics, maximizing momentum generation and maintaining balance in the air for consistent, controlled swings. Training will emphasize hand contact, wrist control, and shot placement to increase offensive versatility and decision-making under pressure. Outside hitters will also refine their serve receive movement, defensive footwork, and controlled first contact on free balls, reinforcing their role as all-around players. Training will include adjustments for passing different serve speeds, platform stability, and emergency out-of-system ball control to maintain offensive flow. The first half of the session will be dedicated to position-specific skill development, focusing on attacking mechanics, transition efficiency, and serve receive fundamentals through high-repetition technical drills. As the session progresses, training will shift toward advanced hitting scenarios, transition speed, and adjusting to live blocking reads. In the second half of the session, all position groups will combine for semi-controlled drills and structured 6v6 gameplay, where outside hitters will be challenged to execute shots under defensive pressure, maintain consistency in serve receive, and transition seamlessly between attacking and defensive responsibilities. These scrimmages will reinforce decision-making, communication, and execution under pressure, allowing athletes to apply their refined skills in a competitive setting. Expect high-rep attacking drills, real-time blocking reads, and full-speed transition sequences, ensuring outside hitters leave with greater offensive efficiency, improved shot selection, and the ability to impact the game in multiple roles. This session will have 4 athletes with 2 coaches for the technical half before transitioning to the competitive component together with other positions.
