Is playing sand good for my overall volleyball skills?
Playing in sand magnifies the need for proper technique and conditioning, and
at the same time allows for joints that may take a beating all Winter on hard
court to recover and strengthen. This makes it a tremendous way to continue
making gains without overtraining.
I've never played volleyball before, where should I start?
We offer introductory clinics a couple times per year. These are a great place
to start. Beginners are more than welcome at the weekly workouts as well.
There are other great introductory clinics and leagues around too. Check
these sites for more information:
Huntsville Volleyball Association (HVBA)
UAH Volleyball
Rocket City Volleyball Club (RCVC)
Alabama Elite Volleyball Club (AEVBC)
North Alabama Spikers Association (NASA)
I already play at the Open/AAA level - will I benefit from the weekly
workouts?
Definitely. These workouts are very similar to what you will see the top
professional doing on a regular basis. There is no substitute for good drills
and touches on the ball combined with focused coaching. Consistent and
quality workouts like these are a huge factor in taking your game to the next
level.
My son or daughter is ten or eleven, can they still participate?
The 12 year-old guideline on some of our events is based on the fact that
many children are not developed physically enough to handle the rigors of
movement in the sand paired with the focus required to play the volleyball. If
your child is very athletic already, then he or she will probably be fine
participating at a younger age, and is more than welcome to come out.
What do you have for adults?
Adults are invited to participate in all events that do not have an upper age
restriction listed.
What if I can't make some of the weekly workouts or the tournaments?
This is the beauty of beach volleyball. Everyone can come and go and work to
improve at their own pace. Those who can attend more sessions or
tournaments will advance more quickly, but there is never any other penalty for
missing sessions.
Do I need to bring a partner?
Working with a partner toward a goal of improved tournament and skills
performance is a great way to progress, but a partner is certainly not required.
Often people will meet each other at the workouts and then decide to try
tournaments together. Alone, with a partner, or with a group - you will see
improvements! Even should you choose never to play a tournament, the skills
you will develop will make you a better player in whatever way you play!
