We will tailor each program based on the skill level of the group, both individually and as a whole. Each child will receive an appropriate level of instruction which will challenge them to improve and achieve manageable goals.
Children who are new to beach volleyball will learn basic skills and fundamental techniques such as bumping, setting, and hitting with the proper form. They will also learn basic game strategy such as positioning on the court and how to support their teammates.
Experienced children will expand beyond the basics and learn techniques such as digging, setting and hitting in transition, tomahawk receptions, blocking, advanced hitting techniques (e.g., pokey, drop shots, cut shots, rainbow shots). They will also receive theoretical training such as reading opponent attacks, defensive strategies, court vision, and more!
