(Information and Registration)

THE COURTS Volleyball Club (VBC) offers a Winter Training Skills Training Program for athletes, ages 8 – 14.  Training is principally designed for those athletes who new to competitive volleyball and are not sure they are ready for club volleyball; or, who do not make a junior club team following tryouts, but who desire quality fundamental training to improve their individual skills and their understanding of competitive “Team System Volleyball”. 

The Courts VBC training is designed to go beyond teaching just “ball contact” skills. Players will also be trained on mentally processing the seeing, thinking, decision-making and movement dynamics ("on-ball" and "off-ball") associated with playing “Team System Volleyball”. In Sessions I and II, players will train in groups sorted by age and/or similar ability. The primary focus of groups will be developing proper individual fundamentals and team play system basics through club-like practices and scrimmaging. In Session III, players will be trained like a junior club team. The Session III objective will be to prepare teams to compete in organized scrimmages against other developmental teams and some junior club teams.  It is possible that a team or two could be selected to play in a local junior club tournament at the end of at the end of March or first of April. Other special training sessions (i.e., setter training) may also be offered during the Winter.
