(Coaches can bring their daughters to the clinic for free. We will use
some of them for our demos)
This year's series of youth coaching clinics will be run by Mike Seibert and/or
Greg Ulland. Mike is the former head
coach at Ursuline Academy (State Champion) and Norwood High School and a member of the
Ohio High School Coaching Hall of Fame. He is also an original member of the Sports
Express Volleyball Club (since 1995). Greg is the current head boys
volleyball coach at Moeller High School (State Champion) and girls head coach at
Sycamore High School. There are 4 total clinics that you
can attend over 2 days. You pay one price for each day you attend.
Please read the descriptions below and then send the form at the bottom of this
page. You will pay when you arrive at Sports Express the day of the
clinic. We need all attendees to pre-register so we have sufficient
materials and space prepared. You must register individually (sorry but we
get many repeat entries when we allow multiple entries on 1 form).
Clinic #1
Volleyball Coach’s Skill Development
Clinic
When: November 22nd from 1:00pm-4:30pm (3
1/2 hours)
Who: CYO coaches in grades 3-8 who are new to the game or want a
refresher on proper individual skill technique and development.
Cost: $25
Description: There are 4 primary skills used in volleyball: serving,
passing, hitting, and setting. We will show coaches how to teach those skills
using key words, phrases, and techniques valuable to that goal. Coaches in the
3rd and 4th grades will find this information very valuable, as will 7th and 8th
grade coaches who are new or returning to the game. Handouts will be provided
along with lecture and demonstrations but bring a
legal pad and clipboard to gain the most from this clinic. We hope to include a
question and answer session as well. Snacks will be provided. Any
remaining individual question will be answered from 4:30-5pm.
Clinic #2
Volleyball Coach’s Practice Management
Clinic
When: November 29th from 1:00pm-2:00pm (1 hour)
Who: CYO coaches who are new to coaching and want to know how to run a
typical practice or coaches who want a refresher on proper individual skill
technique and development.
Cost: $25 (allows you to attend all 3 clinics on Nov. 29th)
Description You “volunteered” to be the coach for your
daughter’s team but are concerned about your ability to run a practice.
We will describe time factors, common sense ideas on getting the most out
of a practice session, and other things you'll find valuable for coaching any level of volleyball. A
recommended clinic to complement this one would be the Skills Development Clinic
#1.
Clinic #3
Volleyball Coach’s Offensive Systems
Clinic
When: November 29th from 2:15pm-3:45pm (1 1/2 hours)
Who: Any CYO coach who wants to learn about the three different
offenses.
Cost: $25 (allows you to attend all 3 clinics on Nov. 29th)
Description: You have heard the terms: 5-1, 4-2, and 6-2. These are
the basic offensive systems that are used in volleyball. Learn how these
offenses work, where to position your players, and what might be best for your
team. Coaches will be placed on the court to become aware of where players
should position themselves. Some basic serve receive patterns will also be
described. Handouts will be provided and all questions will attempt to be
answered. Individual skills will not be taught at this clinic.
Clinic #4
Volleyball Coach’s Best Drills Clinic
When: November 29th from 4:00pm-5:30pm (1½
hours)
Who: CYO coaches who want information on running drills. Okay
for a 3rd/4th grade coach but most drills are going to be
geared to the older grades where kids have more ball control (6-8).
Cost: $25 (allows you to attend all 3 clinics on Nov. 29th)
Description: Drills can make the difference between a good and bad
practice and the difference whether your athletes become better. Mike and/or
Greg will give
you some ideas on how to come up with your own drills and will describe to you
some of his favorite drills to use in teaching different skills.
