This 6-week league is for 2nd-5th graders! We welcome all who range from never picking up a volleyball and are just beginning to learn the game, to those who want to perfect their skills and establish good habits. We have a 1-2-3 breakdown and approach to each skill in volleyball that is easy for everyone to understand and do, and we take our time learning the proper technique so good habits can be formed at a young age! Along with skill knowledge, we also will teach volleyball IQ basics such as how to rotate, where positions are located, and the flow of the game. A G1 Staff member will lead the practice session with drills, while other G1 staff and parent-coaches will help individual players with skill developments and also coach and guide during scrimmage time. Players will be divided by skill and grade level, and drills and skills will be adjusted accordingly.
*Even if your daughter has participated in a fundamental league before, we do encourage her to attend again to fine-tune skills via repetition and muscle memory, and to improve her volleyball knowledge!*
The first 4 weeks (March 2nd, 9th, 23rd, & 30th) will focus on learning a variety of skills for a majority of the time (~45 minutes) with a mini "scrimmage" at the end (~15 minutes).
The last 2 weeks (April 6th & 13th) will be dedicated to scrimmages against the other courts after a short warmup.
We are looking for volunteer parent-coaches to help! You (and a spouse, friend or another coach) will be on your child's court for the session. You will have 8-12 players that you will help organize and run drills, repeat key words, and remind them of good skill habits & organize and encourage your players during scrimmage time. You need absolutely NO volleyball experience to parent-coach! Everything in the session will be 'master-coached', so you'll just need to follow along and organize your court of players. The only qualifications are having a positive attitude, the ability to give encouraging feedback and high-fives, and the desire to learn more about volleyball alongside your kiddo! It's a great opportunity to learn (or re-learn) the keys to the game and practice together with your player!
Registration closes on February 22nd!
