17-18u Girls Extended Outside

What to Expect

This session refines outside hitters’ ability to attack efficiently, adjust to different set tempos, and transition quickly between offensive and defensive roles. Training will focus on approach mechanics, maximizing explosiveness, and maintaining control mid-air to improve shot consistency. Athletes will develop hand contact precision, wrist snap control, and the ability to attack from various angles to manipulate the defense and create high-percentage scoring opportunities. Outside hitters will also refine their serve receive footwork, defensive range, and controlled passing technique to maintain offensive stability. Training will include handling aggressive serves, adjusting platform angles under pressure, and making controlled out-of-system passes to keep plays in rhythm. The first half of the session will focus on position-specific skill development, reinforcing attacking mechanics, serve receive fundamentals, and quick transition movements through high-repetition technical drills. As the session progresses, training will shift toward advanced attacking strategies, adapting to live defensive reads, and fine-tuning offensive decision-making in real-time scenarios. 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 roles. These scrimmages will reinforce game-speed execution, adaptability, and on-court communication, allowing athletes to apply their refined skills in a competitive team setting. Expect high-rep attacking drills, fast-paced transition sequences, and full-speed gameplay, ensuring outside hitters leave with enhanced offensive efficiency, stronger serve receive execution, and the ability to make high-level adjustments under pressure. This session will have 4 athletes with 2 coaches for the technical half before transitioning to the competitive component together with other positions.
