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.
