Standard Session Schedule

This is the roughly 50-minute format we run in a typical weekly session. It's a living plan — the “focus time” block changes based on what we're working on — but the overall flow is consistent: warm up, sharpen the hands, drill one thing, then compete.

1. 7:00

   Warm-up — mid-court

   Start around mid-court and work through drops, volleys, drives, and overheads to get loose and dialed in.

2. 7:10

   Volleys

   Move up and trade volleys — hand speed, resets, and control at the net.

3. 7:20 – 7:40

   Focus time

   The set block where we pick one area to work on and drill it — this is what rotates week to week (e.g. third-shot drops, dinks, or ready position).

4. 7:40

   Serve & return

   Reps on serves and returns — depth, placement, and consistency.

5. 7:48

   7–11 competitive game

   Finish with a short competitive game to 7 or 11 to put it all together under a little pressure.

Times are approximate — the point is the rhythm, not the clock.
