Hi everyone!
Feel free to share this post with any friends and family who may be interested. We just ask that they also go to our website and sign up for the girl's email distribution list so they can receive any updates from us. If you are getting this email, you are already signed up! Thank you! Our boys summer club events will be emailed soon! For the boys distribution email list, click here.
We are excited to announce some of our summer events at Momentum Volleyball! Our events are always lively and fun and we welcome everyone! These are just the initial "Positional Clinics" and "Game Play Nights" which we will run through June. We plan on continuing a similar schedule and adding additional opportunities once everyone's Nationals/Extended seasons are completed around July 4th weekend all the way until girls' tryouts in November! All players are eligible to participate in these events because they are non-USAV sanctioned events and open to everyone. You will not need a club release to participate. If your schedule allows, you can participate even if you are on an extended season team. You do NOT need to register for these events at this time! We are going to run this as a drop-in basis because we now have the available court space to accommodate a lot of players. Once we enter July, we may look to modify the programs based on our numbers. Our goal here is to offer opportunities for players to continue their individual development and get as many touches as they can over the summer. We want to maximize our time, make it challenging, but fun, and cover a wide range on skillsets over the summer!
Players will always be split up over the multiple courts based on age and skillset to ensure they are getting what they need out of our programs.
See below for details:
Entering 4th, 5th, 6th Grade: Position Training - Great for Beginner and 1st year Club Players, Wednesdays AND Mini Mo's 10-week academy-beginning in August. Registration coming soon!
7th-12th Grade - Tuesdays (Position Training/Clinics) AND Thursdays (Competitive Game Play nights)
More opportunities will be announced soon for July through 2023 November tryouts! Girls Position-Specific Training (Entering 4th, 5th, 6th Grade) Separate courts for Beginning/Intermediate/Advanced players, based on skill level. If you don't know your position, don't worry! We will help you figure that our during this program. Feel free to come to all the sessions to learn all positions of volleyball and know which one you may want to focus more time on when the season begins! Every Wednesday from 6 pm to 8 pm @ Desert Sky Middle School. At this time, we only have 1 available court for this younger group. We will look at attendance and notify you if we are adding or modifying the schedule if needed. Beginning May 24th. and continuing through June! We will see what the attendance looks like at the end of June and look to modify the curriculum or add additional nights starting in July. We will notify you prior to the end of June any changes for the remainder of the summer. We will have weekly events regardless! Each week will have new goals and skills training divided by positions and age groups. $20 cash at the door per session attended. This program is designed to help beginning level girls and some 1-year club experiences players improve their volleyball skills based on specific positions. Our USAV certified coaches will guide players in basic fundamentals and choosing a focus area each night, with training in setting, defense, and hitting techniques. Based on their experience level, we'll cover basic skills and advanced skills including: shuffle passing, directional passing, midline passing, overhead passing, setting form with jump setting, proper footwork, hitting all four court positions (left, right, middle, and back row), defense responsibilities and footwork, as well as standing float and jump float/topspin serving, and more! Each session will conclude with 30 minutes of speed/agility/jump training. At this time, we will not require an RSVP. If the session becomes too overcrowded for 1 available court, then we will look to break out the sessions and offer a registration option. Until then, weekly drop-ins welcome!
