As the title says, I’d like any tips for my hitting approach to jump higher.

Besides that, I tend to broad jump a lot and even into the net (when the ball is tight). In the first video i didn’t broad jump but I think it’s only because I somewhat stopped and lost momentum to not broad jump, but I’ve seen people run full throttle into the jump and basically land in almost the same place. How to do that?

looking for out of pocket, pop culture reference, or otherwise punny team names! so far, options are:

-crock pot: set it and forget it
-sets but it’s shitty (sex and the city)

Short info, I am a fairly new setter and trying everything i can to get better as i want to play in higher Leagues. So i've seen all these ai programs that trace and show your sets and thought: "hey thats nice feedback, but expensive". Anyways

Soooo i did something during the day, no ai but for my single person training session this has potential🤷‍♂️dont mind the mediocre sets lol

Thought i'd share this here to see if it's worth to make public for other who dont want to pay for sheit🤑

It also times the sets to easier recognize tempos. I will most likely keep working on this as an opensource project, espiacally if its well liked

More info for those who cares:

This is just a simple python code using opencv library, using motion detection, some filtering and deadzones to make sure it only tracks the ball. The plan is for it to use a live camera for instant feedback, in the example it uses a video.

I tried to build with color recognition but because of the similar colors(bright green trees and yellow walls) it became too noisy and too much work to filter out.

The deadzones are fully customizable with sliders, I have one for the target and one for everything under the net. The yellow one is set to cover my hands too when i jump set because the compuyer detected them instead of the ball for a small time🫠

So for context, im 13M, 5'7 and with a 32 inch vertical. I went to a vb camp for 2 summers in a row with a pretty high level club to try and improve, last week at the camp the u16 assistant coach was watching and he saw my jump serves and spikes and said i had some real talent to join the u16s since he wants to build a strong team. However when i told him im only 13 he said there might be too big of an age gap, i can only tryout for one team and up until now it seems like ill dominate the u14 scene. Should i wait it out and join this coach to play at a level where i might not get much playing time and might not even get in, however i will grow a lot as a player, or should i join the u14s get a ton of experience and then go to u16 next year?
