THURS (9/10-10/8) MET ROT 2 SCRIMMAGE

Service Description

**METUCHEN ROTATIONS LEVEL 2 SCRIMMAGE PROGRAM** **Thursdays: September 10, 17, 24, October 1 & 8 | 7:40–9:00 PM** **PRACTICE LOCATION:** Metuchen Sportsplex 215 Durham Ave, Metuchen, NJ 08840 **AGES:** Girls ages 12–16 and boys ages 11–14. **EXPERIENCE:** Minimum 10 months of volleyball training plus some prior rotations training. Athletes should understand rotations beyond simply memorizing where to stand on a school team. **FORMAT:** Five 80-minute practices with an end-of-session scrimmage. **No tournament is included in this session.** **WHY NO TOURNAMENT?** Most Rotations Level 2 athletes are currently competing in their middle school or high school seasons. We still want to provide Level 2 training during this time, but enrollment across our locations is typically not large enough to support a full tournament. Athletes will receive the same Level 2 instructional content with structured scrimmage play instead. **Rotations Level 2 tournaments begin with our Fall 2 October/November session.** **WHAT WILL ATHLETES LEARN?** Level 2 focuses on understanding **all 6 rotations of a 6-2 system** and applying more advanced skills during gameplay. Athletes work on swing blocking, serve receive, defense, transitioning, spot serving, communication, court awareness, and strategic decision-making. Players are assigned a primary position such as **setter, middle, outside, or libero** and learn their responsibilities throughout the rotations. Athletes should also understand other positions so gameplay runs smoothly and coaches can provide more advanced instruction. **END-OF-SESSION SCRIMMAGE:** The final practice includes extended structured 6v6 gameplay to apply rotations, positions, defense, communication, and decision-making. **WHAT TO WEAR:** Kneepads are required. Wear athletic sneakers and clothing suitable for running, diving, rolling, and floor movement. Hair chin-length or longer should be pulled back. **REGISTRATION POLICY:** Payment secures a spot. Confirm all dates before registering. No refunds or makeup practices are provided for missed practices due to sports, activities, vacations, or scheduling conflicts.
