Intermediate Level

  • Target Audience: Players typically grades 9-10 with "a bit more under their belt," often "club experience," or having "attended basic sessions before as a prerequisite or recommendation."
  • Suitability for Daughter or Son : Not recommended at this time if under 11 years of age.
    • Assumed Fundamentals: This level "assumes you've got a pretty solid handle on those fundamentals already." The focus "shifts...into like intermediate skill refinement gameplay strategy."
    • Risk of Overwhelm: If her serve "isn't quite where she wants it to be yet," jumping into intermediate "might feel a bit overwhelming, like she's trying to keep up rather than focusing on her serve." This is akin to "trying to run before you've really mastered walking steadily."
    • Frustration Risk: Placing her in a level where the overall skill assumed is too high when her goal is specific skill refinement could lead to "frustration," which "isn't great for learning or confidence."
A refund will not be issued if the session's start date is within 7 days of the cancellation.
Each player must bring a volleyball to attend the session; the academy will not supply volleyballs.
Intermediate (Grades 9–10)
Athletes refine their attacking skills with a focus on timing, shot selection, and power. Training includes hitting from multiple positions, using roll shots and tips, and learning how to adjust to out-of-system sets. Players will also work on attacking against a block, covering teammates, and converting rallies into points. The goal is to make athletes reliable offensive options who can adapt to different situations.
Duration: These sessions are typically one hour long,
These sessions aim to provide a quality experience by ensuring athletes register for the appropriate level, as choosing a tier that is too high can impede progress for the athlete and their peers.
