(6/2)/(5/1) Philosophy and Responsibility
|
VO 93920
|
Instruction by: Lisa Love, Head Coach, USC, Nancy Hillma and Kelley Sliva, Assistant Coaches, USC
This program is a hands on ? how to videotape with live demonstrations by Lisa along with assistance from Kelley and Nancy about (6/2)/(5/1), philosophy responsibility, concept, personal characteristics, patterns, 2+1-3 players, goal passers pass, swing offense, 6 rotations, goal create mismatch, setter ? QB, drills. Lisa starts putting a setter and two left side hitters, two middle blockers and a right side player on the volleyball court. The player?s start in their usual starting positions on the court, middles are opposite and left sides are opposite. Lisa describes very quickly what the players have done as they set themselves up. She says when she asks the players if they are running a (6/2) or a (5/1), they tell her they are running a (6/2). A (5/1) indicates all the other five players will be hitters and the one player is going to do all the setting even as the player goes across the front of the court, that player will be the exclusive setter. This is called a five hitter, one setter offense. A (6/2) simply means there are two setters on the court and they are opposite each other in the rotation as well as three hitters on the front court. The down side of a (6/2) is that it requires a great deal of setting expertise from two players instead of one player and setting is remarkably special in itself. No one on the team will handle the ball more than the setter. VHS Length: 56:07

Attacking
|
VO 93916
|
Instruction by: Lisa Love, Head Coach, USC, Nancy Hillman and Kelley Sliva, Assistant Coaches, USC
This program is a hands on ? how to videotape with live demonstrations by Lisa and Nancy about attacking, arm swing - hitting, footwork, timing, strike position, wrist/arm - quick, 4 ? step outside/middle and drills. Lisa starts out by talking about two (2) of the intermediate skills, which are passing and hitting. The bread and butter skills of volleyball is hitting and they do all sorts of things to evaluate hitting. The common thread in any match is simply whoever hits the best, has the most kills and highest efficiency wins. The next step is breaking down the skill of attacking in volleyball and they will do so in basically three (3) phases. The player will do it with arm swing, followed with footwork and then work somewhat on timing in relationship to the setter. Lisa states the higher the contact point over the net the better. She states that last year their average team height was 6?2?. Their attacking roster in one rotation was 6?5?- 6?4? and 5?11? so the goal is not necessarily height but it is a key on how high you can play over a net that is 7?4 ??. She relates this is only a frame of reference to emphasize one point as they go into arm swing. Lisa says most young players want to hit the ball over the net, hitting very close to their ear and very low time and time again. VHS Length:1:03:46

Competitive Drills
|
VO 93921

Instruction by: Lisa Love, Head Coach, USC, Nancy Hillman and Kelley Sliva, Assistant Coaches, USC
This program is a hands on ? how to videotape with live demonstrations by Lisa along with assistance from Kelley and Nancy about competitive drills, error drill termination, correction format, philosophy, conditioning. Lisa starts her players demonstrating a modified game of doubles. Lisa talks about the criteria of this game. There is no blocking it?s all down ball and good digging. The key control is to dig to target each time and you set the ball at 10 feet. This is a good warm-up drill as the players are working on arm swing. Lisa discusses errors and changes the players to an error correct format demonstrating the same drill; however, whoever makes a mistake in this drill, the player will get the same ball and get another chance to hit the same ball until she hits it inbound. If she misses a dig, she will immediately duplicate the play where she made the error. Lisa adds a setter on both courts and the players have to jump and swing from 10 feet. The all time setter is setting at 10 feet to either hitter and doing error corrections. Lisa talks about the players setting an A or a D. She sets up another formation with three players on the back court demonstrating a warm-up drill. This is a back court exchange drill with no blocking and one setter. The sets are called an A, a pike or a D and the players have to communicate which one they will play. The other player responsible is whoever released the set and probably most of the time it will be the right back player. The players demonstrate starting in their perimeter defense positions on the back court. VHS Length:1:02:24

Defense to Transition
|
VO 93919
|
Instruction by: Lisa Love, Head Coach, USC, Nancy Hillman and Kelley Sliva, Assistant Coaches, USC
This program is a hands on ? how to videotape with live demonstrations by Lisa along with assistance from Kelley and Nancy about defense to transition, retraction footwork, 1st step/quick and efficient, block/retraction/hit, eye sequence, coaches responsibility, team sequence drills. Lisa talks about being given statistics at the end of a match called an NC2A Box Score, which she explains in detail. She talks about footwork going from defense to transition and footwork patterns. Lisa talks about how fast they can get their defense into an offense. In the interim transition she talks about how fast the players can re-organize their defense into an offense and there is a specific way this is done. Lisa talks about a lead crossover step, basic volleyball footwork and a shuffle. When the players are in a good defense position and the ball has been hit, the middle hitter should quickly be in a position to hit a quick very fast. She talks about retraction footwork, how to get off the net into a position to attack a ball and the most sophisticated footwork is centered around the middle blocker or the quick hitter. Lisa says a rule of thumb is, when the ball is hit to the right in the seam the player lands her block, opens up and her first step is towards the center of the court. Don?t waste your first steps. When the ball has been hit to the players left, she finds the ball, lands her block, steps first with her left foot towards the center point she wants to go to and the key factor in this first step is going to the point of where the player wants to load to hit the ball.

Digging

Instruction by: Lisa Love, Head Coach, USC, Nancy Hillman and Kelley Sliva, Assistant Coaches, USC
This program is a hands on ? how to videotape with live demonstrations by Lisa, Kelley and Nancy about digging low/high, ready position, study attacker eye sequence, floor defense ? 2nd line of defense, blocking, zone two (2) on attacker and drills. Lisa starts out talking about in order to score points you have to play defense. The player has to dig/set/hit to score a point in volleyball. Fifty percent of all the points scored are scored in transition not served aces, not stuff block, which means the key to a game being successful is to dig/set and swing, successfully. Lisa will talk about these components. This is a philosophy of the University of Southern California that the heart, determination, spirit and drive of their team is dictated by their willingness to dig balls. Kelley states that the 2nd line of defense is the floor defense and is formed around the block. There are many variables when playing defense and she talks about these variables. The first tempo is a quick attack. The second tempo gives you a little more time and the third tempo, which is a high or safety set gives a player a lot more time to dig the ball. VHS Length: 47:40

Lisa talks about the format she works on which are 6 basic volleyball skills: passing, setting, hitting, blocking, serving and digging. These are 6 basic fundamental skills that every volleyball player should know in order to be successful on the volleyball court. She introduces a skill and explains in detail how it is taught at the University of Southern California, what they do to impress those skills upon a player, why she as a coach does it that way and always finds that the WHY is a critical part of an enhancing and learning curve for any player. If the player understands why they are doing it, a coach understands why they are doing it, knowing the desired results, then very often the player will learn it much faster, so part of the training/teaching phase is going to be (how, what and why) for whatever skills a coach teaches. She talks about how she starts her practice, with review and high repetitions for fundamental training to the player. She explains that passing, hitting and digging are intermediate skills and these are lead-up skills to the next step a player wants to be able to do. If a player can?t do the intermediate skills well, a player won?t ever be able to do the critical terminating skill well. VHS Length:1:00:34

Lisa starts out by having Kelley and Nancy demonstrate serving low and fast and the technique on how this is done. Lisa states velocity is the key to successful serving more than placement, making sure you lower the contact point and hitting the ball very hard. Lisa talks about serving deep cross-court, the zones, the first three (3) positions and the back three (3) positions on the court. The goal for the server is to serve in the vicinity and away from the passer in that zone. It is best to try to serve in the gaps instead of directly at the athlete player. Zone six (6) is the best zone, but some people use nine (9) zones; however, Lisa says they only use six (6). She says you can also use a target for practice when you are serving. A target does a lot to motivate an athlete player to be correct in their mechanics. VHS Length:1:02:24
