When you have players the height we do, you take advantage of it, by skying the set so they can go up and drive it down. They're ending up trying to push the ball past extended hands, not down at them with angles that keep the ball from being blocked back at us. So far, that's Charlie's only weakness, and it comes in spurts. She's talented, but just learning the game at height. That's what separates it so much from the HS game. The height of players.When you look at the number of kills slammed down the Badgers throats last night, and seeing setters covering up because they are getting bullet shots right at them, you need to work on that elevation of sets.But, that's about all I can say. A lot of what I offered there was from my daughter, who was all conference in HS volleyball for two years, and played for two years at a DIII level in college, until she decided to concentrate more on her studies to get two degrees.My daughter is 5-10, and in HS, that's fairly tall for volleyball. In college, she was a midget, and was a setter. Her coach kept pounding on her to set the ball higher, because he had some strikers who were over 6-2. She was used to setting for the 5-10 to 6-0 girls.</blockquote>
