Other Lesson Info:
These lessons by Aame are not the same as the traditional lessons Northern Lights puts on and the rules to attend slightly differ. Aame currently puts on a camp called the Aame Setter Academy three times a year (December, June, July). These lessons are a direct extension of this academy.
Each lesson is 50 minutes in length and are open for up to 3 players (each player will need to register and pay separately).
These lessons are password protected in the registration system and you will need to contact Aame via e-mail (wheresaame@yahoo.com) to determine what level you should register for. He is offering three different levels:
- Fundamentals of Setting – basic setting and movement skills, best for U14 and younger
- Elements of Setting – refinement of offensive elements (i.e. location, accuracy, tempo, set variety, etc.), best for U16 and younger or high school starter
- Tactics of Setting – introduction and implementation of offensive strategy
Aame’s policy will be to start low and and advance levels as you master the skills. The Secret: Come back often, stay on the progression.
Your lesson will be recorded and available for review on Hudl.
