Week seven: Game play & serves

For the younger kids, coaches will run games, encouraging the children to use the variety of shorts that we have practiced over the summer. Games will include, but are not limited to: wild animals, around the block, and jail. For the older kids, coaches will go over the service motion, emphasizing the continental grip they practiced last week. Children will start by perfecting their toss and then move on to serving. We will focus on three things 1) Tossing the ball out, in front of us and above the head—ideally in the same spot every time 2) Loading our weight in our knees 3) Jumping up and hitting down on the ball.
