Progression path for juniors
Beginners → Intermediates → Advanced
How to start
→ You can only book these sessions in blocks and we’re currently unable to offer taster sessions.
? When booking please book in parent/carer name. Include in the “Additional Information” section the name and age of the junior player.
What to pack and what to wear:
- Full water bottle which should be labelled or highly distinguishable in order to avoid any confusion
- Sweat/fitness towel, foam roller, resistance band, joint supports or any other equipment you need for warm up/cool down or during activities.
- Wear a normal PE kit (T-shirt & shorts or leggings) plus ideally a pair of kneepads. These need to be fabric kneepads, so they don’t mark the floors (so not skateboard hard plastic style ones). Lots of the kids have these:
? Under 18 and would like to train at a competitive level?
Our National Volleyball League (NVL) teams accept juniors who are experienced in competitive volleyball and are able to train at a higher level. Read all about our NVL teams training.
For those with advanced abilities but who are not ready yet to compete in the NVL, we have the Advanced Juniors / U18s session. This is by invitation only and you should still join the waiting list setting out details of your previous playing experience and standard.
Junior FAQs
Is prior experience necessary? No! Many of our players hadn’t played volleyball before coming to our sessions. We cater for ages 11 – 16 in our beginner sessions and abilities ranging from complete beginners through to players training with National League teams through our intermediate and advanced sessions. The sessions will be tailored to the differing abilities with different drills tailored to this.
Are the sessions coached? Yes, we will have coaches on hand who will set up engaging routines and provide feedback in order for you to progress your game.
Are we going to play games? There will be mainly coached drills in order to learn skills/footwork and develop technique but there will definitely be some match play.
Do I need any special equipment? Any sports kit is suitable to wear, and the players just need indoor trainers. We do suggest that players purchase a set of kneepads as it’s helpful for when we do defence drills (they need to be fabric rather than hard skateboarding style), but these are not essential. Make sure you bring your own distinctive or marked full water bottle as during the Covid restrictions water fountains at venues may be out of service.
Can I sign up mid-term? You can join the waiting list at any time. Our sessions run in a term blocks for registration/organisation but each session stands alone on different skills. If you join mid-term you will only pay for the remaining sessions in the block. This being said, our sessions are quite popular, and it’s unlikely there will be space to join at a later time. When there are spaces available, we’ll reach out to those on the waiting list to offer them a spot.
Can parents/carers stay and watch? Yes – that’s no problem! Please check in with the coach on arrival and they will show you where you can watch from (most of our venues have a viewing gallery). We ask that you do not take photos or videos of the sessions without the prior approval of the coach for safeguarding reasons.
How do I book? We will send booking details to those on the waiting list first. That will be done by email and it will contain a link to the session block booking. From there, you will be able to make payment online. If you have any questions before booking use the Contact Us function at the bottom of this site or get in touch via our Facebook or Instagram pages.
