Development programs
Your Duck training starts here…
Ducks Development is a co-ed all skills training program for beginner athletes, or athletes with limited volleyball experience. Athletes will develop and grow in a fun and challenging learning environment. The focus of the training will be to teach the fundamentals of volleyball: passing, setting, serving, attacking and defense, and athletic development.
Training will implement skills through various game situations, and will take place in a positive, collaborative and competitive environment for a much deeper level of learning. High coach to athlete ratio to ensure hundreds of meaningful contacts will take place, and appropriate feedback is delivered to each of our athletes.
We have 2 primary goals with this program:
