Our program features a Technical Director, who will design and lead each practice, as well as Head Coaches for each team who are either current VC United coaches, players, or experienced parents with a background in volleyball.
All coaches must complete our Futures League Certification class and are background screened to ensure a positive experience for all players.
Our main program focus is to encourage children to do the best with their abilities. With an emphasis on positive reinforcement, the program seeks to build confidence and self-esteem in each child.
While the program teaches children the skills necessary to excel in the sport of volleyball, the focus remains on participation, cooperation, sportsmanship, responsibility, and, of course, fun! Strength, endurance and improved coordination result from the weekly activity of the program. Furthermore, a season of league matches is sure to provide plenty of exciting volleyball action. Skills are taught using technically correct methods for peak performance and safety.
