WEEK COMMENCING 23 FEBRUARY
Training resumes the week after half term, with groups attending on their separate days as assigned:
- Monday 23 February: Group A
- Tuesday 24 February: Group B
- Wednesday 25 February: Group C
- Thursday 26 February: Group D
This week you will need to demonstrate the following:
- The march on; ensuring you line up in the correct order as assigned by the team sheet and make your way to that position correctly without cutting any corners
- You adopt the correct position on court; bases in line with the net posts, centres outside the line of the player's chairs and heels in line with the net post
- You play your part in the player warm up; ensuring you focus on safety and ensuring the balls are evenly spread to both ends of the court
- You develop your skills; specifically centres receiving with your back to the net post, centres rolling to the side of the base when they are feeding (but maintaining rolls parallel to the lines), bases are picking up the first two balls and feeding the player and reacting quickly at the end of the point
*You will be advised of position of water bottles on court this week
REMEMBER
- Do not touch the net, the posts or the umpire's chair
- Give the players room, especially around the umpire's chair
- Work together to get the balls to the correct end
- Stand still when play is underway; bases should move their eyes not their heads
TASK
- A reminder you should have completed your self-analysis based on the first week's performance
