Volleyball Training Solutions February Update

Preview a Sample Analysis


If you go to the Public Page of VTS, VTS Public Page Link , you'll find a sample of a skill analysis done for a young player that sent in a video.  This will provide you with an idea of what is entailed in a skill analysis.  Any of your players can submit a skill for analysis.  For any VTS member, we will provide a complimentary analysis for the first 20 videos submitted.  We will provide the analysis and place in a private folder on VTS for review.  If there is an interest in this option, drop me a note and I'll give you the details of how to submit the video.

Calling All Contributors!

One of the primary missions of VTS is to create a vehicle for the sharing of information for volleyball coaches of all levels.  If you have a drill or teaching method that is working for you and you would like to share with VTS members, let me know and I'll create an upload folder for you.  There are creative and innovative coaches at every level.  If VTS can facilitate the sharing of this type of expertise, we definitely want to be a part of that.  Contact me and we will make this happen.

Easy Tag for Coaches and Parents

It is impossible for me to underscore how easy it is to edit your match and practice video using Dartfish Easy Tag software.  This is a free download for both I-Pad and Android devices.  You can tag your video, upload to my site, I'll synch the video with your tags and place in your folder.  Many clubs are doing this with great success.  They have a parent provide the video and the coaches, or the parent for that fact, can tag the match with Dartfish Easy Tag.  Contact me for more information.  You can download Easy Tag and the Apple App Store, or the Android Market.

Dartfish TV for the College, High School or Club Program

We can create a private folder for your collegiate, high school or club teams/programs.  This is a wonderful sharing tool that will allow both upload and download of video of training or competition.  Combine this with Dartfish Easy Tag, you have a convenient way to place edited video of either your team or future opponents on the web for your team to watch outside of practice.  Contact VTS and we can set up a upload program for you.  On the same token, if you desire to have your matches edited for you contact us.  We can edit matches based upon any criteria you desire.

Dartfish TV and I-Pads

All new video uploaded to the VTS site is viewable on your I-Pads.  The Volleyball Training Solutions site is in line to be converted to be compatible.  I apologize for any inconvenience as January was supposed to be the month of transition.  Hopefully, this will happen soon as it is obvious that a lot of coaches want to be able to take their I-Pads to practice to show players video.
