Mini Volley is volleyball built for little humans. We focus on kids ages 6-12, all abilities, and absolute beginners. Each session runs 75 minutes. The first 30 minutes are skills work - passing, setting, serving, and learning to move to the ball. The last 45 minutes are 4v4 games, because kids learn faster when they're playing than when they are standing in a line waiting for a turn. Kids are grouped by age, so a six-year-old is never stranded on a court full of twelve-year-olds. Coaches follow a scripted curriculum, so each week builds on the last, and every child gets real touches. Trained coaches lead sessions alongside a local parent volunteer, and every player gets a jersey on day one. Financial aid is available directly through Mini Volley.
