2021 Fall Youth Clinic (Beginners, 7-10 years old), SUNDAYS ONLY

Every Sunday from 1:00-2:30pm (skipping Labor Day weekend)
This Fall Youth clinic is designed with beginners in mind - recommended for ages 7-10, with no experience necessary. If your athlete is currently 9 or 10 years old and has a year of club volleyball experience, please contact lead instructor and A5 Associate Youth Director Walter Patterson for confirmation to attend the later afternoon session instead for older athletes: walter@a5volleyball.com If your athlete's experience is limited to a few clinics so far, then this is probably the correct program to get the instruction your athlete needs!
This program is our Sunday-only option, aimed at elementary school-aged athletes with no particular volleyball experience. Basic and fundamental volleyball skills will be introduced, including passing, setting, hitting, and serving. Athletes will progress from simple drills to more competitive situations, although the focus will be on repetition and building correct technique in a fun environment.
Part of A5's success is our coaching methods and our philosophy. We believe in technique progressions and high repetitions. We insist on doing each skill repetition the correct way every time. Everyone, regardless of skill level, will start off with core drills that emphasize the basic fundamental skills of volleyball. Each week, we focus on one particular skill set, then build upon it each session. We end each training session with competitive game play. Towards the end of the program, participants compete against each other in different competitive formats.
For these younger athletes, we use a lighter ball, smaller court segments and lower nets. The program's focal point is fun and enjoyment; at the same time developing agility, hand eye coordination, body movement and ball control work. Team play is incorporated with motor learning and skill development. This is ideal for young beginners.
