Sharing a thought.
The Canadian Elite Academy has set up Friday night Pickup Game night. Here is the thought process behind this activity.
• The more touches an athlete can have with a volleyball the better their skill development.
• The organize practices and games tend to be planned by a coach and does not allow a player to control their own growth.
• Friday nights pickup games are flexible and can be used in a variety of ways. Such as:
o Just play volleyball.
o A different way to spend your Friday night.
o Build your confidence by just playing.
o Practice your serves.
o Whole teams can use this time to bond.
o Set up an informal game against another team.
o Challenge another team, maybe one not even in the same gender or age.
o Play with some athletes of different gender, age, and skills.
o The three hours time block means an out of town team can come to play.
o Adult teams could come and use the time as well. (there is no age restriction.)
o Play with some of the elite academy coaches or team coaches (all coaches play for free)
o Bring a family member, ie: your parents, sister, brother or anyone else who can play.
o Get ready for a tournament the next day.
o Just a chance to put away the phone and technology and play volleyball.
o Setters and hitter coming to a session to work on their ability to run plays.
• The cost for three hours of gym time is approximately 45 dollars and the goal from the Canadian Elite Academy point of view is to cover the costs. It is 5 dollars a person or 40 dollars for a team (up to 13 players)
I will bring the ball and the music.
