Nashville Recap
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 3:52pm — CourtneyEWe finished in 3rd/4th place this weekend with a record of 7-5. That increased our win/loss record to31-26.
I still feel like passing is our team weakness. We all need to focus on increasing our serve receive percentages and making sure we are in the right spots on defense to make as many digs as possible.
Good job to the following players who hit in the positive this weekend: Cora, Hannah, Jessica and Sam.
Hannah, you are above your goal with .444. Great job girls!
Jessica, Katherine and Taina- you blocked very well this weekend. Jessica, you averaged 1 block per game. Good work!
Congratulations to Cora, Emma, Hannah and Katherine for being positive in serving points this weekend. Great job ladies! Way to serve aggressively! This is the 4th tournament in a row that the team has been positive in serving points! Keep getting those aces (and reducing those errors!). Kat- you earned 7 serving points. This is the highest number any player has earned in a tournament. Nice serving this weekend!
Cora, Jessica, Taina and Taylor… great job with serve receive this weekend! You were all above 80%. A special call out to Taina who passed 91.89% for the tournament. Great job reaching your goal and passing above 90%! We need more people to join her!
Congratulations to Hannah and Taina for averaging 2+ digs per game.
As far as the overall season totals go:
Congratulations to Carrie and Hannah for keeping their hitting % above +.200.
Great job to Cora, Emma, Hannah, Jessica and Taina on maintaining at least 1 dig per game.
Cora, Emma, Katherine and Taina you are all in the positive on serving points.
Cora, Emma, Jessica and Taina you are all serve receive passing above 80%.
I’d also like to recognize Hannah for doubling her hitting percentage and Taylor on increasing her serve receive by 25%. Those are big jumps ladies! Way to take advantage of the Nashville tournament!
We have a break this weekend and then we need to show up and play our game in the North Atlanta tournament on the 27th. This is a power tournament so I expect us to play to our potential.
Thanks,
Coach Courtney

Chattanooga Overview
Tue, 02/23/2010 - 11:46am — CourtneyEI know how frustrating it was to not make it out of pool after beating the number 2 seed from pool C in our cross-pool match. We definitely had a tough pool this weekend! Regardless, we finished the weekend 4-4 (a much better showing than the 1st time we played in Chattanooga this season finishing 1-7)! Great work keeping our win/loss record above 500. We are currently 24-21.
I was so pleased entering the stats this morning! Everyone is doing a great job improving their skills and attaining their individual goals. After our first tournament, only 1 player had reached their hitting goal keeping their hitting percentage above +.200. This tournament, 6 players were all over +.200 AND 9 out of our 10 were in the positive! That’s SOOOO good! That means we are eliminating our errors and reducing the number of points we give away in a game!
Good job to the following players who hit above +.200 this weekend: Carrie, Cora, Emma, Hannah, Jessica and Sam.
Hannah, you did a great job setting this weekend. You averaged 5.5 assists per game. I want you to keep pushing yourself to “better the ball” and make the best sets you can make. Always be aware of our competition. Take advantage of tall hitter and short blocker match ups. I want to you to really push to get above the 6 assists per game mark. I know you can do it!
Taina and Jessica you are still doing a great job blocking! Right now you are both averaging about ½ block per game. Make sure we are closing our blocks with the OH/RH and I know we can get you both averaging at least 1 block per game. If you are an OH/RH make sure we are setting the block for our middles. Remember to give line and take away angle. NO FLOATING!!! Our defense sets up around your block. Don’t move it at the last minute!
Congratulations to Cora, Emma, Sam and Taina for being positive in serving points this weekend. Great job ladies! Way to serve aggressively! This is the 3rd tournament in a row that the team has been positive in serving points! Keep getting those aces (and reducing those errors!).
Carrie, Cora, Jessica and Taina… great job with serve receive this weekend! You were all above 80%. A special call out to Carrie who passed 100% for the tournament.
As far as the overall season totals go:
Congratulations to Carrie and Taina for keeping their hitting % above .200.
Great job to Cora, Emma, Jessica and Taina on maintaining at least 1 dig per game.
Cora, Emma and Taina you are all in the positive on serving points.
Cora, Emma, Jessica and Taina you are all serve receive passing above 80%.
Great job this weekend Cobras! We have a couple weeks off from tournaments to refine our skills and then I expect us to win it all again in Nashville. Let’s bring home another championship for Cobb Atlanta!
Thanks,
Coach Courtney
16 RED COBRA VICTORY IN GULF SHORES!!!
Mon, 02/15/2010 - 3:57pm — CourtneyEFirst off, I’d like to say how proud I am of how each and every one of you played this weekend! I could not have been more pleased with our performance ESPECIALLY in play-offs! I can honestly say that everyone really stepped up and contributed to our win! As I entered statistics this morning I was so happy to see every one go up in stat numbers!
I want to identify people individually; but first, let me just say how pleased I am on the improvement of our serve receive and defense! You can tell from the stats (although I think it is apparent) that the improved passing DEFINITELY enabled our setters to provide better sets so that we could run a more effective offense.
Congratulations to the following people for increasing their hitting % this weekend:
Carrie, Cora, Hannah, Jessica, Katherine, Lindy, Sam and Taina
A special “good job” to Carrie and Taina for being above .200. You’re above your goal!

Congratulations to the following people for increasing their serving points this weekend:

Carrie, Cora, Emma, and Taina you are all in the positive. Great work ladies!
Almost everyone improved their serve receive percentage. Several of you passed 100% in multiple games!
Cora, Emma, Jessica, Sam and Taina: You are all above 80% now. Let’s keep passing well and push to get above the 90% mark.
I’ll see you at practice on Wed. from 7:30-9:30 at McClesky. Remember to wear your WINNERS shirts to practice and to bring me your tournament shirt if you bought one. Jessica is going to have “Champions” printed on them for us!
Congratulations again for pulling out the tournament victory! We also improved our overall win/loss record (above 500) with 20 wins and 17 losses. Great job ladies!
Go Cobras!!!
