Dennis Belaire, a CAP III-certified coach from the Lakeshore Region, has developed an innovative training method that combines the best aspects of Speedball and The Competitive Cauldron. The result is a game called Spee-Dron, designed to increase participation and improve performance in volleyball.
The Concept of Spee-Dron
Spee-Dron builds on the principles of Speedball and The Competitive Cauldron to create a fast-paced and engaging training experience. In Speedball, athletes on both sides of the court are ready to participate, with each team having balls at the ready to serve. When one side loses the rally, the losing team leaves the court, and the team that lost serves the next ball immediately. This quick succession of serves keeps the game moving and increases the number of individual athlete ball contacts.

The Competitive Cauldron, on the other hand, uses a round-robin tournament format where everyone plays with and against each other in one training session. Matches are played for a set amount of time, and ties are resolved through sudden victory. This game format also promotes a high number of individual athlete ball contacts.
The Benefits of Spee-Dron
By combining the elements of Speedball and The Competitive Cauldron, Spee-Dron offers several benefits for volleyball players:
-
Increased Participation: Spee-Dron ensures that athletes have fewer moments of inactivity by minimizing the time spent standing around. This maximizes individual athlete contacts per hour and keeps players engaged throughout the training session.

Enhanced Volleyball IQ: The focus on passing, setting, and hitting in a competitive, game-like environment raises the volleyball IQ of athletes. As team sizes decrease and the emphasis on making three hits increases, players develop a deeper understanding of the game.
-
Improved Performance: With the emphasis on individual athlete ball contacts, Spee-Dron helps players refine their skills and develop a strong foundation in volleyball fundamentals. The repetition and game-like scenarios contribute to overall performance improvement.
How to Play Spee-Dron
Spee-Dron is best played with 12 athletes, but it can be adapted to accommodate eight or more players. The game is played in a 3v3 format to minimize standing around and maximize individual athlete contacts per hour. The rules and gameplay are a combination of Speedball and The Competitive Cauldron, creating a dynamic and challenging experience.
