SATURDAY TRAINING CAPACITY

CHANGES TO GROUP NUMBERS

Summer is kicking in, and with it, a large bunch of indoor crew will be finding their way back on the sand. This impacts the current structure of the sessions we run on a Saturday. In previous seasons, we've tried to fit everyone in, and have found it a struggle to maintain.

So, we are going to change things up a bit, and in the process, ensure our regulars keep improving, while leaving the door open as much as possible to those who aren't as regular.

Over the coming months, we will be implementing a maximum number of 16 participants for our early Men's/AAA women's Saturday group.

About 10 of these spaces will be automatically granted to our regulars (those who trained with us right through winter and seasons' past). If they cannot make a session, that space will open up to the next available in the queue...

EARLY SESSION

(Start time: 7:30AM Summer / 8AM Winter)

HOW WE DECIDE WHO TRAINS

In order:

Regulars | Those who train with us on a weekly. fortnightly or at least twice to three times per month.

Ol'Skool crew | Those who trained with us for years, but may not train as often anymore (Old VBVA and Warriors)

Exceptional Talent | Those who are a good enough level to raise the overall training and push our regulars.

Fringe Level Regulars | Those who train with us regularly, but may be on the fringe of the higher level.

BREAKDOWN OF NUMBERS

As a standard - Using 16 as our maximum capacity - this will split as 10 men/6 women. On occasion, these splits will change.

If the women's level continues to strengthen, we will look at opening the session up to 8 women on a regular basis.

TRAINING

We'll be running sessions across two courts, with initial full group drills, before splitting across courts, for attack focussed drills and gameplay.

On weeks we are concentrating on defence, we will run mixed sessions. All sessions will run a further 30 minutes of gameplay, unless we're restricted by court availability

MID SESSION

(Start time: 9AM Summer / 9:30AM Winter)

HOW WE DECIDE WHO TRAINS

In order:

Regulars | Those who train with us on a weekly. fortnightly or at least twice to three times per month.

VBVA crew | Our junior program often supplies the bulk of our summer training crew.

Fringe Level Regulars | Those who train with us regularly, but may be on the fringe of the higher level.

BREAKDOWN OF NUMBERS / TRAINING

Our second session of the morning will focus on two - possibly three - groups; an advanced (AA/higher A) Women's group, a Mixed Intermediate group and, if numbers allow, an Intermediate Men's group.

There will be a maximum 8-10 players per group. If we run the Men's group, it will mean we have a third coach to facilitate it.

The women's group/s will run the same drills as the early session, albeit, with more emphasis on improving technique.

It will work as a feeder to the early session spaces for women. The mixed group will focus on technique and game strategy.

These groups will work independently of each other, across two courts, with separate coaches.

The Women's group will train exclusively on a 224cm net height; mixed sessions will train on a 235cm net height, Men's on a 243cm court

All sessions will run a further 30 minutes of gameplay, unless we're restricted by court availability
