The revolutionary method of skill development is:
*Step one: Theory
*Step two: Demonstration
*Step three: Over-Correction of skill
*Step four: Drill using Over-Correction
*Step five: At the end of the day, we play Survivor. Survivor is a
Queen/King of the court game played with the rules of over-correction.

Hitters!
* Learn how to snap instead of hit a ball
* Learn how to hit out of your approach
* Learn a one step fix to jump higher and hit harder
* Learn the correct approaches for outside and middle hitters

Setters!

* Learn how to set past your apex of your jump
* Learn how to set against the flow

Everybody!
1. Learn why you should backspin a volleyball when passing.
2. Learn how to play defense by watching only the hitter.
3. Learn how to time a set; how to time your hitters.
4. Learn how to develop your peripheral vision when hitting.
5. Learn how to make your float serve dance.
6. Learn how to get into position on defense.
7. Learn the rules of non-verbal communication.
8. Learn the rule of ball control.

Skill level!
We have fun! One hour into the clinic, participants are assigned an
appropriate court determined by age and skill level. The safety and
comfort level of all players is a primary goal of the clinic. The
curriculum has been developed to accommodate intermediate players and
novices. Current skill level is not an issue.

Three fundamental team concepts stressed in the clinic are:
1. Playing the game three seconds into the future.
2. Using peripheral vision.
3. Reacting to bodies instead of the ball.
