Our program believes in teaching our youngest players proper
mechanics and skills from the beginning to maximize player success and
build on proper muscle memory in future years. We also want to see kids
have fun and love the game of volleyball. To do this, we modify the game
in several ways:
-Volley-lite training ball (if you'd like to purchase your own ball this is the one we use. We will provide them for use at practices & games)
-low volleyball nets
-smaller court
-modified games where the serving line is moved up significantly to maximize player success & the possibility of rallies
-3-in-a-row serve maximum so the score doesn't get too one-sided
-try
and keep things positive & encouraging, but also have high
standards and proper fundamentals so players are really learning as
well.
-focus on serving & passing
Our 4/5th graders practice once a week for 1.5 hours and have a game on
Saturdays. An exact schedule will be out early April. Our goal is
for these players is to get them confident in serving, passing, &
moving out on the court to get them ready for the next level of
volleyball.
You'll notice there's a 3rd/4th league as
well as a 4th/5th league. If you have a newer player to the game, or a
player that lacks confidence on the court, register your child to play
with kids a year younger. For example, a 4th grader that's a newer
player should register for the 3rd/4th grade division versus the 4th/5th
grade division. If you have a player that has played for several years
and is aggressive on the court, have them play with kids who are a year
older. For example, a 4th grader that has played for several years and
is aggressive on the court should be registered in the 4th/5th division
versus the 3rd/4th division.
