What is Speedball you ask? Speedball is a variation of Queen of the Court that cuts down transition time to maximize contacts with the ball. Players will have the opportunity to play all parts of the game, passing, setting, hitting, serving, defense and blocking. These games create “teachable moments”, where a player rotates out and the coach can fine-tune a technical point that is unique to one player; thus, allowing everyone else to continue to get better while we talk with one.
High School Speedball is for players who have the ability to serve the ball over the net *this is not for players who struggle to serve. Individual Skills should be at least a level 3 (can pass, set and hit the ball with purpose and efficiency). Game play is constant, and players are given the space to play freely, and coach feedback is given to improve their players individual skills.
