Offensive Strategies

March 10, 2022 // Los Angeles 12:00 PM, Rio 5:00 PM, London 8:00 PM, Tokyo 5:00 AM (+1)

It’s that time of year when we have the opportunity to review what and how we teach. If you missed January’s session, Victor Anfiloff, former Head Coach of the Dutch national program, shared different defensive tactics. It was such a great session that we didn’t get to offensive strategies. Join us in this second take as Victor shares his ideas on how to disrupt blockers in side-out. This hour long (you might want to schedule a bit of extra time if it goes like the defensive session) masterclass will be beneficial for coaches at all levels.

Masterclasses are one-hour live virtual sessions that serve as a platform for professional coaches to showcase their research, share their experiential learnings, and present approaches to advancing the game. This is the art of coaching at its core. They are designed for current and aspiring professional beach coaches who are looking to enhance their approaches and to learn from the panel of speakers. It is hosted by an AVCA or IBVCA member moderator and participants can submit questions to the speakers. Each Masterclass is awarded 1 BEACH ACE credit. There is no charge for AVCA and IBVCA current members. The registration fee for non-members is $10. For more information on Beach ACE, including how to become a member, click here.
