TRANSITION OFFENSE: USING LAYERS TO ORGANIZE CHAOS (AVCA-FLICK)

Create an effective transition offense using your current players Use "layers" and communication keys that will allow players to maneuver in transition without getting in each other's way Help players become better at making themselves available for attacking Use various game-like drills to increase transition speed and make your athletes more efficient

While chaos is a natural part of the transition offense, there are ways to maintain order within it. In this presentation, Diane Flick discusses the concepts she uses with her players to transition seamlessly from defense to offense.

Beginning with a definition of "layer of transition" and how it applies to each position, the presentation covers specific player movement concepts from blocking to attacking and defense to attacking. Give your hitters freedom to make themselves available in every situation while also bringing organization to the chaotic moments of the transition offense. Your offense will consistently have many options available. The presentation also offers several drills to help introduce these concepts to your team and increase their transition speed.

Coach Flick closes with a Q&A session covering topics such as the place of the back row attack in transition offenses and the placement of the Libero when designing a transition offense.
