What session do you think is suitable?

This is a question that I am asked often by parents and participants.  I try my best to write up the descriptions of the sessions to help interested people understand the level which is taught.  This email response is one that I gave to a parent in the last few days.

I try not to make a suggestion based on the skill of the players as they get enough of that with their tryouts and team coaches, I do my best in the session descriptions to describe the type of session which will be offered and hopefully the athletes will be able to decide if the session is for them.  For newer players, the word Basic will be used in the session as the footwork will be taught and a step by step instruction.  Sessions with the work advance on them or where I state the player should have an ability to attend the session, for instance, the setting session is for high school starting setters and will be for players who can set and are looking for the next step of the instruction, not the basic hand position or footwork.
 
Having said all that, sessions are for all genders and all ages, we will not refuse attendance to anyone, if the players and the parents think the session is good they can show up.  The lack of politics, evaluation and individual instruction at the sessions is refreshing for both the coaches and players.  We try to make the session individualize enough and challenging enough that everyone will benefit from any session we offer.  Yes, some athletes will be in way over their heads but it is not a competition, each athlete should hopefully leave a session better than when they walked in, they should not compare their skills with others and then it is fun for all involved.
