12 – 18

Setting

$45 / 50 minute session (each session is 1-3 players at the same setting level as assigned by Aame)

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.
