What is the goal of the program?
The goal of the program is to teach the FUNdamentals of volleyball while emphasizing the FUN of playing an organized sport.  Participants will receive fundamental skill training and get an opportunity to play volleyball during each session.  The program is appropriate for those with those with little (less than three years) to no experience.

Who is coaching?
Scott & Alyssa Jackson, Minnesota Select Club Directors will serve as the program’s coordinators and curriculum designers.  At least one experienced MN Select coach will lead each session.  At least one current player on an older Minnesota Select team will lead each team.
 

Where does this program take place?
All sessions will occur at Ralia Sports Center in Maple Grove.  Ralia Sports Center is a fantastic multi-sport facility with four volleyball courts.  It is located at 8686 Valley Forge Lane N in Maple Grove.

What is the format of this program?
There will be four sessions devoted to skills training and four sessions in which games are played.  Participants will be placed on teams - we will attempt to accommodate requests to play with a friend. 

What should players wear?
Participants should wear a tee-shirt, shorts, and court shoes. We ask that all participants wear a tee-shirt rather than a camisole or tank top because of the postures they play in. Also, we ask that participants carry in their court shoes and change into them upon arrival. This helps keep the court surface clean, dry, and safe in case of rain. Participants can wear kneepads as well if they wish.

How much does the program cost?
The registration fee is $90.  It covers all costs – instruction, gym rental, administration, equipment, and a program t-shirt.

How do I register?
Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.  Registrations will be accepted online.  Click on "Online Registration" above to begin the registration process.

Additional Information
Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early on the first day of the program to check-in and receive your program t-shirt.

Parents are more than welcome to stay and observe sessions. Please remain in the spectator areas (rather than coming out on the courts).
