Want To Improve Your Game?! Our Volleyball Clinics will help all levels!
Our adult volleyball clinics are designed to help players of all abilities. Players learn the basic fundamental movements, techniques, common terminologies and tactics required to becoming a better player. While these skills will need to be refined with more repetitions and game play to become more automatic in play, players will leave the clinic with the knowledge on how to practice on their own to get better. In addition to improving their skills, we hope that you will learn to be able to better understand the game. Hence improving the players’ ability to error detect and correct your skills with the new knowledge that you have learned from the clinic in your own games. Please bring friends or teammates – everyone is welcome to join in! It’s never too late to learn something new!
