Practice & Play

Overview

PRACTICE & PLAY: Beginner Program

The goal of the CJV Practice & Play Program is to allow all players to meet once a week, on Sundays, for 7-9 weeks to practice and play volleyball. Each weekend the CJV coaches will work on skills development and practice the first part of each day and then playing games and drills the second half of each day. This program is ideal for beginner athletes who have never played volleyball before! Players are grouped together by skill level and age.

The CJV Practice & Play Program is designed for 3rd – 8th Graders. Based on the number and ages of the girls registering, the plan is to divide girls into groups based on their age and skill level. Adjustments in groups may be made to ensure all girls are able to learn and play volleyball at a level they are comfortable with. Requests to play with friends will be allowed if at all possible.
