- PRACTICE EXPECTATIONS

Practice start times for each team will be decided no later than 1 week prior to the first practice.
Practices should begin promptly at the assigned start time
Coaches assigned to begin at 5:00pm or 5:30pm should arrive early, allowing ample time to set up the net for their own court prior to the start of practice.
It is recommended that your players arrive 5-10 minutes before their scheduled practice time so you can start promptly at your start time.
Coaches assigned to begin at 7:00pm must break down and put away the net on their court when practice is over, unless instructed otherwise by the BYC volleyball commissioner.
Please take a moment to plan your practice in advance each week. If you need help planning a practice, please ask!
It is recommended to spend most of your practice time focused on teaching and allowing the kids to practice their skills.
The remaining time can be game simulation or scrimmage. It’s important the kids understand the game rules and what to expect.
The goal is 3 touches on the ball (pass, set, hit) before it goes back over the net, please stress that in your practice!
If on your practice night there is another team in your same age bracket and you agree to scrimmage during practice, feel free but use the time to stop and talk about how the game works as they are playing.
Don’t forget to include a warm-up and water breaks!
