As part of UWOVB Alum, Rachel Gardner’s, culminating experience course, she has been tasked to “move the needle” or “make a greater impact on the community.” Due to the current stay at home order, she wanted to give young volleyball players a reason to continue improving their game even from their basement, front yard or garage. Rachel has decided to put together 𝗔 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 which contains a three video series of technical breakdowns and challenges for YOU to try at home.
Day 1: Today we focus on our QB’s, play makers and leaders of the court. Our setters! Check out today’s setting challenge here!
Day 2: Today, we are focusing on our nuggets. Not chicken, not gold, even though they are just as valuable, our Liberos! Check out today’s passing challenge!
Day 3: Today, we get a combination of everything. The whole enchilada if you will. Check out this sweet All Skills video!
