Match Analysis - Gulf Shores

Wherein I heap yet more praise on TKN.

This week is beach week. I dedicate the first three weeks of each month to the indoor side of the game and reserve the fourth week for beach-focused discussion. If you’re not interested in beach volleyball, feel free to skip this one.

We’ve been talking about Transition on the beach this week:

Beach Week: Transition

I shared some training ideas about using Limited Touch Games to improve your ability to handle some of the scrappy, chaotic rallies that can happen during Transition. This can feel different than First Ball, where your goal is to be as clean as possible and put pressure on your opponent with a strong Make Them Play game.

Beyond the wall, we’ll look at a match from this recent NCAA National Championship at Gulf Shores where a strong Transition game was present.
