Structures and Strategies – Volleyball.

Lesson objective

OPupils will be able to reflect on their performance and analyse strengths and weaknesses as a team.

OPupils will be able to describe a method of focussed data collection in volleyball and describe why it is appropriate.

What is your teams main strength?

The GAOS highlighted that 8 out of our 25 points were won from our first attack as our team has:

2 tall powerful hitters

2 Tall Powerful HittersO Can adjust run up at the last minute to change

direction of hitO Fast explosive arm action getting over the ball

to bring it down quickO Frequently change the tempo of the game by

using both tips and spikes to pressurise opposition defence making attacking play less predictable

O Tactically aware of opposition weaknesses targeting these players with the attacking ball.

O Able to time run and move in as a unit playing fake hits to add an element of surprise

O Read game and can target unprotected space

What is your team’s main weakness?

OWeak receiver

What is your main weakness when applying the 1.2.1

structure?O Weak receiver (impact on 1st attack, what is wrong with 1st touch?)

O What do opposition do?O What are the players technical

limitations and impact on skill?O What are the physical limitations

and impact on skill?O What are the tactical limitations

and impact on skill?O How is the setter affected?O How are the swing hitters

affected?

Weak receiverTechnical O Cannot play a high, accurate dig to the setter.O Poor co-ordination and timing to anticipate the flight path of

the ball and move under the ballO Contacts the ball with bent arms which results in the ball

projecting out of court

TacticalO Lacks the ability to make quick decisions about passing options

PhysicalO Lacks speed to get under the ball with a low centre of gravity

to dig to the setterO Lacks ME to repeatedly bend knees and push upwards to

generate an effective pass.

Focussed Data CollectionService reception Observation

Schedule

Service Reception

3 = perfect pass2 = setter options limited1 = setter has no options0 = direct error

3 2 1 0

Mark on the court where each 1st touch was played

Service Reception Observation Schedule

O 2 sets against opponents of equal ability (4-aside)O Each players’ service reception was observedO An observer marked each time the first touch was played

on a scale from 0 – 3.3 = perfect pass (high and accurate to the setter)2 = setter options limited (setter has to move out of position

to play the ball and has limited attacking options)1 = setter has no options (ball has to be played over in 2

touches)0 = direct error (ball played directly out of court, into the

net – opponents win point straight away)O The observer also marked on a scatter graph, with a

number, where each first touch was played and whether it was high or low.

Why appropriate?O SROS highlights individuals’ strengths and

weaknesses specifically in service reception.O Highlights the outcome and the flight path

of the ball. O Written evidence which could be looked at

time and time againO Could be converted to statistics hard to

argue withO Objective feedback which is more reliable

and non biasO Game duration provided enough informationO Opposition provided a realistic setting
