SIDELINE SCHOOL
Rituals: warm-ups and tournament days
The car ride, warm-ups in pairs, the wait between matches, the snack after.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
Warm-ups at the net
Before the match, players pass in pairs and take turns hitting. They repeat the same move for minutes. Shoot from the first row of seats, never the floor, and watch for loose balls: warm-up hits fly hard.
- Step 2
Tournament days are long
Between matches there’s waiting: the team on the floor, the snacks, the bracket on the wall. One frame of each, every tournament, and the season is there.
Pro tip
Tournament days are mostly waiting. Shoot the waiting.
