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 6-9 weeks to practice and play volleyball. Each session will focus on the fundamentals of volleyball, including passing, serving, setting, and basic gameplay. Players will participate in structured drills followed by guided play, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in real-game situations.

The CJV Practice & Play Program is designed for 7-13 years old. Athletes will be divided into groups based on their age and skill level. Adjustments in groups may be made to ensure all athletes 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.
