NexGen Sessions (Grades 6–8 – New Players)
The NexGen program is designed to help athletes develop the foundational movement and coordination skills necessary to start volleyball training. Each session will have a specific focus, chosen and announced by the coaches, to match the needs of the group.
Rather than immediately working on the seven core volleyball skills, NexGen emphasizes the athletic building blocks of the sport:
- Moving with balance and control
- Catching and throwing
- Jumping and landing safely
- Running and agility
- Hand-eye and body coordination
These skills create the foundation athletes need before progressing into structured volleyball training.
This NexGen session is 90 minutes in length and takes place in the gym. A net is used during these sessions, as the focus is on movement, coordination, ball control and basic volleyball skills.
