Social media, professional development and assessments are all key to your team and club. Here’s the complete guide to mastering each.
Evaluate Your Players
Volleyball is a team sport, but players still need to perform individually. You need hitters that make smart choices at the net, setters that spread the ball well, and defensive specialists who nail passes when it’s 23-all. But you also need players with intangible qualities—positive attitudes, good work ethic, body language, etc. So take a deep dive into each of your players’ performance. Then schedule one-on-one virtual meetings to go over it.
Here are a few templates that hit on all the important qualities:
Stat Your Film
While we’re on the topic of team evaluation, stats are a great way to objectively see how your team is performing. After all, numbers don’t lie. So if stats and reports aren’t already part of your review process, use this extra time to incorporate them.
It’s easy to add tags to matches already on Hudl. More of a visual learner? Check out this step-by-step video to see how it’s done. Or if you have Hudl Assist, double-check all your matches have been sent to our analysts (and send them if they haven’t).
Once your matches are tagged, dig into your team’s performance using Hudl’s comprehensive reports. See basic and advanced stats like blocks, kills and pass quality rating in the stats report, or look at how your team’s hitting percentage tracks over time in the trends report. And you’ll definitely want to use the attack tendencies report to discover your players’ hitting strengths.
