Attendees of this clinic are saying:
“The variation of coaches and their way different progressive drills were well explained. It was an all around fantastic clinic!”
“The clinic did an admirable job of showing how coaches use a variety of styles of teaching, of creativity in drill applications and of facility use. I have coached at JH and HS levels and there were plenty of ideas I can use at both levels and with youth clinics and camps.”
“I have never coached before, and I left the clinic feeling more confident that I can coach at this level and not completely mess it up. I really appreciated how geared it was towards ML students. I walked away understanding that teaching/repetition of skills and team dynamic are most important at this level, and that took away a lot of the stress about how to cover strategy/various rotations. I left with a much better sense of what this age level needs.”
“This is my third year coaching volleyball, and I really wanted to be intentional about teaching my middle school girls the proper way to play. After this session, I am much more confident in my abilities to truly teach them the game. I learned valuable skills and drills that will help progress their skill levels. I’m super excited for this season!”
“I thought this clinic was great. I am very excited to implement some of these drills and strategies in my upcoming season. It was great and worth every penny.”
“I loved the grade level specification. Ive been to many clinics and the speakers discuss irrelevant sequences and skills for our beginners. Thats why I really liked Rodrigo and Jackie the best. Their demonstrators/kids were spot on for our level.”
“I loved the wealth of knowledge coming from multiple different coaches. I also loved the content focused on training the whole athlete, from the technical to the tactical to team chemistry to the mental game.”
“I enjoyed the 2024 version of the clinic. I had watched a replay of the 2023 version previously. I found this year’s clinic more useful for my program. I have a lot of beginners, and I feel like the material applies to my situation. A great experience overall, I would recommend it to newcomers and those needing a refresher.”
“I really liked having Amanda join this clinic. I think the material and content she provided was very relevant to today’s athletes and teams. I like the way she was incorporated!”
“It was really nice to hear from everyone because they were so knowledgeable. I felt that the points they made about each drill made so much sense. I have girls ranging from great volleyball IQ to never touched a volleyball, so these drills will be great to accommodate different skill levels.”
“As a relatively new coach to middle school volleyball, I thought this clinic was very helpful. The majority of my players have only played volleyball in gym class when I get them for the first time and I found a lot of helpful things for them.”
“I loved that there was finally a clinic with junior high kids in mind!”
“I loved the examples of the drills and the different perspectives from the different coaches.”
“It was very beneficial. Loved all the drill ideas!!”
