Front Range Volleyball Club Implementing Dartfish TV into Staff/Player Development

Volleyball Training Solutions and Dartfish TV will be a major focus of staff and athlete development in the upcoming year.  With the use of tools offered in both Dartfish TV and Dartfish  "EasyTag", the ability to share video information will be at the fingertips of coaches, players and parents within the Front Range program.  

For Coaches

• Every team within the Front Range club will have a folder on VTS-Dartfish TV that is accessible by both coaches and players. The coaches, using "Easy Tag" will be able to mark video events within practices and competition.  The "tagged" video will be uploaded to the team folder for viewing by players either at the practice facility or at home.  This will allow timely feedback for players on recent practices or tournaments.  Also in the video folders will be "model" video so players can have a visual of the desired skill being performed.
• There will be a coaches video folder that Front Range Head Coach, Jim Miret, can place video of drills, skill keys, or points of emphasis for staff coaches to view and implement into their training sessions.  This will allow Front Range coaches  to be consistent within the club as to teaching skills and planning practices.

For Players

Testing Leg Strength

• Front Range physical therapist, Djimmer Bosman, will video athletes during physical screens.  These screens are performed to identify potential physical issues with athletes.  The video is placed into a player folder to show the athlete the video of the screen, along with video of rehab exercises that can be done at home.  The parents of the players will be part of this so they know the exercises to be done by the athlete.
• Players will have skill video uploaded to VTS-Dartfish TV and using Dartfish software, will have their skills analyzed with drawings, voice overs and suggestions for skill development.
• Players will be able to download video from matches and training sessions to their personal computers to develop their own video library.

For Club Directors

Jim Miret- Front Range Head Coach

• The challenge for all club directors is to create a communication tool so all coaches on their staff are constantly developing their coaching skills.  Dartfish TV allows for the easy distribution of video teaching keys that staff members can access from anywhere.  In the Front Range program this is being used for practice organization, teaching cues, sport psychology presentations by staff member, Tim Engels, physical training concepts by Billy Gilsan and video feedback of training sessions.

So many clubs have multiple teams and training sites.  To monitor the progress of coaches and athletes is a never ending challenge for club directors.  Using the Volleyball Training Solutions site on Dartfish TV is a wonderful tool for club directors to disseminate video information and feedback to both athletes and coaches.
