Developmental Programs

Developmental Beginner volleyball program

Learn fundamental skills (passing, setting, hitting, serving).  Learn to play the competitive game.  Have fun preparing to play in high school, club, and beyond! 

The EDGE offers a summer program as well as programs that run parallel to club season (November to April/May).  We use these programs to prepare inexperienced, or rec-league players for the game of competitive volleyball. 

New this year:  our Li'l EDGE program which we will pilot this winter. Li'l EDGE will focus on 3rd-5th graders who may want to figure out if they love the sport before investing heavily into club, youth leagues, or even our 6/7 month winter/spring developmental program.

Due to the growth in our club, court space during the winter/spring program for practice is limited because the program runs at the same time as our club season.  So, we are going to have a smaller limit on the number of developmental players we can accommodate.
