Youth Development Program
Youth Development is Appropriate for 3rd-7th Graders
We are excited to announce that our Youth Development Program (YDP) is taking the next step! We are in the process of developing multiple levels of YDP with the goals of better individualizing training sessions to player abilities. Our hope is to develop the most comprehensive Youth Development Program around to help players take their game to the NEXT LEVEL!
Our YDP is a lighter version of club volleyball for Grades 3-7th. YDP is committed to skill training first! Players will tryout at the beginning of each session and be placed in the appropiate level group by ability. Our goal is help players progress towards competitve programs (ie. NVL, Regional Club Teams, and National Club Teams). Players will be placed into one of three levels. Each level will focus on a progression of skills. As players complete the competencies expected from each level, they will be progressed to the next level or program. Level 3 players will be guaranteed spots on our NVL teams and will be encouraged to advance to our Next Level Training program or consider trying out for a regional or national club team.
