about
LITTLEWAVES
Little Waves is a developmental volleyball class for K – 5th grade girls. We've designed this class specifically to introduce young players to the sport in a low-stress, fun environment.
Our experienced coaches focus on developing basic skills -- setting, passing, hitting and team play -- and ensure players learn to play using the best techniques (and avoid developing bad habits).
Little Waves is a unique program, based on the european volleyball experience, that makes volleyball accessible to young kids, thanks to:
-
small courts (39’ * 16’)
-
low net (from 4’ to 6’ 6”)
-
2vs2 or 3vs3 instead of 6vs6
-
light ball
-
special rules to facilitate the game at younger ages (ball can bounce on the floor once, players can catch the ball
These special conditions offer the chance to every kid to learn volleyball in a simple, fun, positive, cooperative but competitive way

with highest ratio between # players andcourt sqf makes communication necessary
PLAY EVERYWHERE: volleyball can be played indoor, or outdoor on grass, sand and even snow
