Club Volleyball: Setters Clinic

At what point do coaches take the girls aside and say "we want you to be a setter" or "you are going to play middle blocker."? Kate is in this kind of limbo because the coaches have not TOLD her she's going to set, even though she plays that position in practice. I went to a group job interview once with 20 other people and they were asking everyone :"are you here for the support position or the manager position?" Everyone else was saying SUPPORT, so I said MANAGER. Within a week those people reported to me. My point it that you have to go after what you want. I would like to see Kate grab the setter role without being told to. At the clinic tonight the guest coach stressed that the setter is the leader on the floor. Loud, dominant, commanding. I would like to see Kate grab that and run. SHOW your coaches and your teammates that you will lead them, even if you are still learning yourself. But that's a tricky conversation. I think the position is open for the taking and it will go to the girl who wants it the most. Team sleepover and parent wine mixer tonight. Dad is staying far far away.
