My TEVA team started practice this week (unfortunately that included an early Saturday morning practice). We worked a lot on the fundamentals of passing and hitting. We did lots of shuffle passing and worked on getting our feet stopped and our hips toward the target. Coach McCloskey worked on our arm swings, a little bit of zone serving, and hitting off our own pass. Coach said I need to work on using my left arm (I'm right-handed) more to help pull my shoulders and hips into the pike position at the end of my swing. Also to open up/pull back my hitting arm more when I'm swinging. I know all these things will help me become a stronger hitter, so it is something I'll be practicing on my own as well as concentrating on them in practice and tournaments.
Our first tournament is this weekend, so we will be working hard in anticipation of the PowerLeague in Indianapolis. My family will be videotaping some of the matches and they will be posted online soon after.
