Philosophy/Purpose

Choosing the Right Program for your Child

We’ve tweaked the length and timing of our programs so that we can offer continuous development opportunities at age groups between 4 and 14 (15 for advanced programs) and offer some at multiple times to fit everyone’s busy schedules. We recognize that not all children will enter the pathway at the same age or athletic skill level. Also, not all children will develop at the same rate once they enter. The key is that they are in a program appropriate for their skill level and that they feel comfortable socially. Recommended ages are guidelines only.

Here are the Programs for the 2025-26 season…

Program Name	Recommended Ages	Program Description
Little Diggers	4-6	Work together with your child to develop essential fundamental movement skills like running, jumping, throwing, and catching. Our fun, supportive environment helps lay the foundation for all future sports and physical activities, ensuring a strong start to active living.
Smashball	6-8	Smashball is a fun and engaging way to introduce volleyball to kids aged 6 to 12. Smashball has 5 levels of play that modify the game to set kids up for early success and instant fun!
Junior Spikes	9-11	A fun, foundational introduction to volleyball. Participants will learn essential individual skills, including forearm passing, setting, attacking, and serving. This program is perfect for aspiring young players eager to master the basics and gain confidence on the court.
