We use a stat program on the iPad and I have had a great deal of coaches look at the program with me and start using it. You get so much more data instantly when someone is on the bench specifically keeping the stats this way. We can know at any point our current stats and get a quick analysis of exactly where we are scoring and losing points. After matches are over we can then analyze both team's stats by rotation and determine what we need to do the next time we play them. For example if a team is scoring the majority of its points on us out of R1 and our best side out rotation is R3 then we know to set the rotation to match those two rotations up.

Not entirely correct:

LaVergne and Smyrna had to reschedule and have not played yet. Standings are:

Smyrna 0-4

LaVergne 0-4

I am not sure when they rescheduled to play but it was the Sept. 6th match that did not get played.

Here is a link to the schedule:

http://www.ohs.rcschools.net/Athletics/Volleyball/bhsteamcamp.pdf

No set rule on amount of space for any match in any part of the season except 6ft. for serving. As for playing area it is determined by the refs before the start of the match. Usually a ball is considered out of play once a player has crossed past team benches. They could play a ball and fall into a bench but not go behind it. As for the stands, most refs will tell the girls they can play a ball that is going into the stands but not be in the stands to play it, kind of like the bench area.

I have always wondered if doing a midnight madness practice would be worth doing if you could get the fan support to make it fun but between the end of dead period timing on Sunday morning and the 15 days of practice in July I do not know if it would be practical. If anyone has done it or had success with it I would love to hear about it.

Having seen them up close and also having seen Karns and DB, I do not know if they are the clear cut best in the state. They could win the state but they are by far not the only team in AAA that could do so. Most people thought they were the best in the state last year as well.

Thanks Pageman for posting Page gym setup I did not know middle school was being used and with CPA out the new schedule has us there Sat. and Sun.

Pageman, the schedule we got this week had varsity playing the first part and jv the second. Could you double check your information so that we both have the same times. Thanks.

Ok, I give up. I will work the phones and email instead.

Once again, do not bother posting on this unless you have some information on any schools with openings for playdays. I do not post on here to get into all of the worthless discussion that tends to take place that has nothing to do with high school girls volleyball. I am simply looking to get some extra work in for my girls in August as opposed to four scrimmages. If you have any information please post it, otherwise please do not post your discussion that has nothing to do with the topic.

Thanks, Jason Sloan

Head Volleyball Coach Oakland High School

Let's try and get back on track and see if there are any schools with playdays in August that have openings. If you do please email me at sloanj@rcschools.net

Thanks, Jason Sloan

Oakland High School Volleyball

Yes, I know that. That is why asked if anyone knew who was hosting.

Oakland High School is looking to play in an August playday if any schools have any openings. Please email Coach Jason Sloan at sloanj@rcschools.net or reply here if you have or know of any openings.

Thanks.

Oakland High School is looking to add one more scrimmage this preseason. If anyone knows of any schools looking for another scrimmage please have them contact Jason Sloan at sloanj@rcs.k12.tn.us. We have August 10, 12, 13, 19, 20 and 22 open and are willing to play away. Thanks for any help you can offer and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Coach Sloan

Well I appreciate that after 10 years of success coaching high school volleyball with few club players on my teams and consistently building strong programs that I am by your standards unsuccessful as are many other schools in this state whose programs are run by non club coaches. If you spend any time as a coach you will learn that successful coaching is more than just a knowledge of the game but also about how to coach and motivate.

So is your argument that the only coaches in this state with any knowledge of how to coach are club coaches and the rest of us are just a bunch of jokes.

Hargis, our schedule is on our website if you want to post into Coach T, otherwise I will do it but not until after our TSSAA meeting in late July when I finalize everything

Jerry, I guess the your loaded this year comment has made you think he is referring to Riverdale. Ha Ha, see you in a few weeks

Last time I saw London she was pregnant so I doubt she is playing at Trevecca

The job at Siegel is open, they have posted on the county website, open teaching positions and the possibility of coaching volleyball if anyone is interested.

I heard this as well and was waiting on Hargis to weigh in and give the details.

Board of control minutes from this year:

New Business

a. Voted to add three days of practice for Volleyball from the end of school until the

beginning of the dead period.

Hargis did not know if you knew that TSSAA voted to allow three days of practice from the end of school until June 21st.

I really hope Alcoa is not already in the weight room considering TSSAA requires a 2 week dead period following the end of the season.

I saw today that these two schools have openings for head coaches. Both teams were very good last year. Anyone have any further information?
