VOLLEYBALL PROGRAMS

Private and group lessons are customized programming designed for all age and skill levels. The curriculum for your lessons will be created based on your communicated needs and expectations. This personalized programming allows for more focus on the skills your athlete has been wanting to improve on and can also be used as a way to receive more hands-on training for those that are just beginning!
Coach Erica is equipped to breakdown or rev up the advancement for all skills including but not limited to serving, passing, setting, attacking, defense, and blocking.

At Game On! we are always trying to provide opportunities and solutions for athletes and families when problems arise. We have been hearing a lot of feedback from our amazing Game On! family that there is a demand for a program where your athlete can improve in the team aspect of volleyball, but do not have to commit to a long season of traveling on the weekends.

Our Level Up program is designed for girls grades 7-9 that have an intermediate level understanding of the game.

It will consist of 10-14 sessions 2x a week with 12-16 girls that will help them not only improve their all-around skills, but it will also help them navigate through their decision of what position they would possibly like to play, enhance their skills in their current position, and provide an opportunity to try everything! It is OK if they do not know their position coming in. This program will be about teamwork. communication, and learning how to compete, while engaging in fun games and exciting challenges as a TEAM!
