Better Play Is About Execution and Revision

Play better and more consistently. How?

Summary: 

  • What should we subtract? 
  • What should we add?
  • What should we do more? 
  • What should we do less? 
  • What one practice change helps? 
It's premature to know for MVB '24. 

Subtraction. That might mean eliminating back row attacks or even setter dumps if they're not working. 

Addition. It could be strategy, like targeted serving at seams or side alleys. Or it might be personnel. You never know who will emerge as a force. 

Increase. Volleyball has become an outside hitter dominant sport. Melrose returns strength up the middle. Will MVB increase the distribution of attacks through the middle or slide middles outside? 

Decrease. At times MVB '23 struggled on the service line. Decreasing service errors will likely be a priority in 2024. 

Practice changes? "Every day is player development day." In-season development matters, too. The top teams always have stout outside attacks so containing the elite attacker closing the double block is another possible focus area. 

Lagniappe. Experience the possible.
