Serve: strengths: I did the serve really well and I got a good connection with the ball and it went exactly where I wanted it to go and it turned out very well weaknesses: The only weakness that I have is that I had to redo the serve a couple of times just to make sure it was the best of my ability
Dig: strengths: My strengths were that I hit the ball clean and powerfully to ensure that the ball had a good height and also good power Weakness: I did not place my feet in a good decision this then for did not allow me to get good height and distance although I still got a good hit I should of done better
set: strengths: my strengths are that I hit the ball well and also it went directly to
All volleyball players should know proper techniques for serving floaters and jump serves. Servers should spend time practicing a pre-serve routine. Developing a routine will help servers focus and be ready to serve. The basic volleyball techniques for serving are…
Toss the ball in front of your serving shoulder.
Keep your elbow high and back.
Contact the middle of the ball with the middle of your hand.
Follow through on your armswing.
Skills and techniques for football
skills: there are certain skills you need in football to perform your best you have different skills for different positions for example:
for a winger you need good dribbling and good pace they also need some skills to beat the defender and cross the ball in
for a striker you need good shooting and also dribbling as well as heading to perform to the best of their ability and score goals
1) You get 3 touches per team (plus a block, if there is one) to get the ball over the net. 2) You cannot touch the ball twice consecutively (unless your first touch was the block). 3) You must get the ball back over the net within the "crossing space" - i.e. over the net and inside the lines (that's what the antennae are for, to show where the lines would be if they extended upwards) 4) Don't step over the centre line. You can step on it, or fall over it, but your foot cannot cross it completely. 5) Serve from behind the end line and within the extension of the side lines. 6) You must play the ball entirely on your own side of the net. 7) You can be substituted in and out once, but only for the same player 8) A ref wears a different-coloured shirt to the rest of the team, cannot serve, and cannot attack from front court (i.e. inside the 10' line) 9) You score a point by grounding the ball inside your opponent's court or by making them hit it into the net or out (or committing a handling fault etc., as above). 10) Either team can score a point, not just the serving team.
scoring systems:
Rally Scoring
With rally scoring, teams score a point when the other team fails to return the ball over the net, hits the ball out of bounds, commits an infraction or makes a service error
Side out Scoring
In side out scoring, the serving team scores a point when the opponents fail to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of bounds or commit an infraction. The non-serving team will earn the right to serve when the opponents fail to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of bounds, commit an infraction or make a service error

if the opponents team is winning they cannot hold the ball up through the keeper
Coaching Points - You want to keep the ball close at your feet by taking small touches with the inside of your feet when travelling with the ball.
Try to look up and see if there is an opponent around you and look to see if there is a team mate that you could pass to.
Try not to stand up right, having low centre of gravity is an advantage with dribbling.
Shooting
Shooting with your laces would generate more power on the ball, shooting with the side foot would have more control on the ball. Leaning over the ball would make sure the it doesn't go over the bar. Make sure your standing foot is placed along side the ball.
Passing
Use your side foot for a short and accurate pass along the ground. Using your laces for a pass would mean that you want a powerful chip pass and try to get curl on the ball.
Tactics
Chelsea employed an extra defender by playing him in defensive midfield against Spurs in the Capital One cup Final, this was so he could offer more protection for the back four and man mark Christian Eriksen. Chelsea soaked up the pressure knowing the could hit Spurs on the counter attack and score from set pieces which is what they did.
Serve
Stand on the edge of the court when serving.
With one hand hit the ball in then air to the opposing team.
Strengths/Weakness
My foot is on the court before I've served the ball which is an illegal serve.
A strength is that I was able to get it on to the other side of the court and get power on it.
The Dig
Be in a low position and thumbs should be together, when you hit the ball use your legs and arms to get power into the ball with control.
Strengths/Weakness
My feet and legs are in the right position other than that it is a very weak shot.
Smash
Keep your eye on the ball and hit it at its highest point.
Strengths/Weakness
A strength is that I got power in the shot, but my weakness is that I hit the ball when it started to fall down and did not jump high enough.
Set Shot
Use your index finger and your thumb and palm the ball and push it up, to set someone up and return the ball to the opposing team.
Strengths/Weakness
A strength is that I got power in it, but I didn't have the right positioning and didn't get good direction on the ball.
Passing Good: the ball will go to the persons feet or where they want the ball to go and they can do it under pressure. Average: the ball will go in the correct area to where they want it to go, but sometimes it might not do a good pass under pressure. bad: they can pass the ball but it isn't very accurate under any circumstances Dribbling Good: the person can control the ball under pressure and does not need to look much at the ball and this can enable him to pass the ball without looking at the ball average: the player can control the ball well however they will generally look at the ball most of the time bad: they can dribble the ball only at a slow pace and cannot look up to see if he can pass the ball Shooting Good: the ball we always go into the place where the person has kicked it, and he can do this under pressure and he will have a good technique. average: the player can aim for the corners of the goal most of the time and can do it under pressure however it will not be as consistent. bad: the player will not get much power behind the ball and it will not be very accurate.
Passing:
Strengths: my
long range passing is good even though on my video it didn’t go as well. this might be because I only had one attempt and was under pressure
Weaknesses: my
straight line passing could be improved. this is due to my feet positioning might not be straight and then it will go off at an angle
Dribbling:
Strengths: I can
dribble the ball with control when I’m under pressure. this is mainly because my touch is good
Weaknesses: I
need to work on my first touch and by doing this it will gradually improve my
dribbling technique.
Shooting:
Strengths:
overall my shooting technique is good when im not under any pressure and this is because I can direct power behind my shots and my techniques were good
Weaknesses:
however when I am under pressure sometimes I will rush the shot and it won’t go
on target. this is mainly because the pitch might not be good or I may take my eye off the ball

Serve good: the person can serve the ball always over the net and can get power behind the shot and this will be accurate when doing so average: the person will be able to serve the ball over the net most of the time but it might not be as accurate. bad: the person wont have much power in their shot and it will be inconsistent and not accurate dig good: the dig shot will be done with the right technique and the ball will go where they want it to average: the ball will go most of the time where they want it to however it will be not as accurate when performing this. bad: the ball will not go high enough in the air and therefore it will not be as accurate. set good: the person will be able to set the shot perfectly in the air near the net for his team mate to smash the ball down. average: the ball will go up in the air and will be near the person who it is aimed for but it will not be performed well every time bad: the ball will not be directed towards the intended person and it will not go high enough smash good: the smash will always have a lot of power and accuracy when they hit it and they will use the right technique in doing this. average: the person will still get a lot of power behind their shot but it might not be as accurate all the time bad: the ball will not be smashed under control and this means that it will not be accurate and there wont be as much power in the smash
Serve:
Strengths: I can
be accurate when I serve to make it just go over the net so it makes it hard
for the opposition to get it back over. this is because I have the correct technique on serving the ball over the net.
Weaknesses: most
times I should put more power into the shot but I decide not to just in case it
goes out. this is because I play it safe and it can work against me sometimes.
Dig:
Strengths: I can
use the technique well, for example having good feet position this enables me to move around the court quickly to get to the ball
Weaknesses: I
could be not quite accurate sometimes this could be due to my hands were not in the right place and it will make the ball slide off my hand
Set:
Strengths: I can
set up my team for a smash so we can then win the point. this is because my technique can be good when I perform the set shot
Weaknesses: it
can be hard to get into the position to perform the set shot. this is mainly due to the ball is travelling quickly
Smash:
Strengths: I can
smash the ball with accuracy and power because i am composed in this type of shot and it is because I am confident in doing it
Weaknesses: I don’t
get enough power behind the ball sometimes this is because near the end of the game I am tired so I don't put as much effort in
How can I improve?
Volleyball
My dig shot is possibly my weakest. I need to perfect the technique before I then try to perform it in a match as I tend to much the dig up in matches. Often I just swing my arms when digging and lose control of the ball. I think I need to work on using my legs to get the power and making sure that my arms make a big enough platform to hit the ball. Once my technique has improved, I could make it more competitive by having a time limit and having to perform 10 accurate digs in a minute.
Here is a dig drill that I found which I could use:
If I want to improve my technique, I could do with improving my strength especially in my legs. To do this I would go to the gym and work on machines such as the hamstring curl, leg extender, leg press and calf raise. To improve strength I would need to lift quite heavy weights and lift fewer reps. This would help to build muscle. I would try to lift about 80% of my maximum about 8 times. I would probably do 3 sets of these.
Football
I think most of my football skills are good and that my techniques is good under pressure. To improve, I would then work on harder techniques such a shooting with a volley or with my weaker foot. I could work with a partner who could feed the ball in the air for me to practise volleying the ball on target. I would make sure that I was hitting the target first before trying to volley the ball with more power.
Below is a simple volley drill that I found:
Simply practising shooting the ball against a wall with my weaker foot repetitively would soon show improvements. I would also try to just use my weaker foot during game situations in training and in matches have the confidence to use my left foot rather than change my running stride to shoot with my right.
In matches, my cardio vascular endurance is ok but I do get tired towards the end of the games. I need to do more continuous training to improve this component of fitness. I would also do some fartlek training as this would be more realisitc to a game situation where you hardly every run at the same pace for a long period of time.
