LITTLE VOLLEY
Little Volley is a developmental volleyball class for elementary school kids 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 Volley 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.
We partner up with schools in the Miami-Dade area and we bring volleyball directly to the students during afterschool time.
