This program offers leveled instruction and continued skill building in an effort to encourage previous participants and newcomers to develop their volleyball abilities and love of the game.
This program for girls is designed to develop basic volleyball skills for beginners, while reinforcing fundamentals and introducing positional play for those who demonstrate mastery of the basics. We will develop game strategies for all players. Players will work toward scrimmaging each other as skills develop. We will still focus on fun and the fundamentals. No previous volleyball experience is required.
Basic skills will include: Passing, serving, setting, spiking approach, arm swing, player rotation, and basic rules.
Intermediate skills to be introduced include: Serve receive, offensive & defensive positioning, digging, blocking, approach-jump-hit, and player transition with position specialization.
We will use a lower net (per USA Volleyball guidelines) and volley-lite balls for players beginners, and a regular women's height net and regulation volleyballs for older and more skilled players (Grades 5+).
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and bring a water bottle.
