 Changes on both Dartfish TV and VTS Website

There have been some positive changes on the VTS website that I want to make you aware.  We have placed a renew button at each of the levels.  So, members wishing to renew can just hit the "Renew" button, enter the appropriate information and you'll be good to go.  We will also be installing a PayPal button for those wishing to pay in this method.  Dartfish TV has made some great changes, mostly from an administrative perspective.  However, for members with private folders that have tagged video, you'll be able to bring up all your tags just by hitting a button.  So, for example, if you have tagged all of Suzie's serves, these tags are now easily accessible.

New Member "Go to Meeting" Orientation

We will be offering members, especially new members, the opportunity to go over all that Dartfish TV offers for you.  We can go over the site, make sure you understand how to navigate Dartfish TV and use the available tools.  If you're interested in this, just contact the VTS office and we can arrange a convenient time.

"Commented Videos"

I've received several inquiries about videos that have received comments from other members.  The question being how can they see the comment and the video.  I attached a picture that will assist.  Go to the "Home" logo, then click on "Commented" and all videos with comments will be listed in order of comment.  I would encourage comments and exchange of ideas within the membership community.

Using VTS in the Summer Months 

Having a private team folder and using VTS in the summer can keep your team engaged in the summer months.  Here are sample uses of VTS private team folders during the summer:

• Video your open gyms and upload video and place comments and key points that allow players to focus on key areas of development
• Video players performing skills and have VTS perform analysis and place in your collection so player can download.
• Strength and agility programs for your players
• Video from last season with comments and showing successes
• Skill video with analysis

 These are only a few ways to incorporate video into your player and potentially staff development.

Plan Ahead for the Fall Season

Consider having a private folder for your team.  You can upload and download team practices, matches and future opponents.  Players can access from anywhere with an internet connection with their I-Pads.  You can tag matches using Dartfish Easy Tag (free!), upload video, we will synch your video and tags, then you can watch edited video of your team.  Contact VTS and we can get you going.
