Objectives:

 

The purpose of Volleyball is to review and improve the basic skills of passing, setting, spiking, and serving. More advanced techniques and tactics will be introduced including set and attack variations, blocking and digging skills, the floater serve, free ball passing, and spiker coverage. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in various offensive and defensive team formations.

 

Format:

 

Each class will typically include warm-up, stretching, movement patterns, conditioning, individual skill development, patterns of team play, game-like situations, and a cool down. Occasional tournaments will be held. This class is designed to be fun and very active. It will also contribute significantly to physical fitness, skill proficiency, competitive experience and an appreciation of "power" volleyball.

 

Requirements:

 

Students are expected to attend class on a regular basis and come with a positive attitude toward learning and participation. Suitable athletic wear and court shoes (no black-soled shoes) must be worn. Kneepads are recommended.

 

Grading:

 

Grades are Credit//No Credit or a letter grade by special arrangement with the instructor.

 

Class Repeatability:

 

Students are permitted only four semesters of volleyball (any combination of skill levels) for credit while at Cabrillo. If you have taken four volleyball classes, see me about alternatives.

Students with disabilities, including "invisible" disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning, and psychological disabilities, are encouraged to make an appointment with the instructor to discuss their needs and appropriate accommodations.
