Athletes will be required to wear masks during the sessions unless we are informed otherwise by the regulations. This mini-camp is designed for the new players in volleyball. The skill training camp will offer three courts. The first court is for the new athletes to the sport and has played no club volleyball or one year of club volleyball.

Private lessons and Team Private lessons. Private Lessons The February Private lesson time slots have almost sold out. There is only one left, so do not wait too long if you are thinking about getting a group of four athletes and attending a private lesson. We have gotten a few more gym times at Father Robinson School and will continue to offer private lessons in March. Team Private Lessons I have been lucky enough to work with two teams so far, and I like having the opportunity to meet the teams and work on various skills.   I will be standardizing the cost of the team private lessons to the same price as the other private lessons. If I can make it, I will attend for two hours for the same price. The private lesson for up to four athletes will be the exact cost of the private lesson for a whole team. The charge will be 149 dollars per hour. But because the team private lesson is on during their practice times and I do not have to try to find gym time, I will stick around for free for the second hour of practice. Learn more about Private Private Lessons Rules Please always make sure that a parent, guardian or another family member, or team member is in attendance during a private lesson.  As a Coach, I always like a rule of at least two so I am not in the gym with an athlete by myself.

 

The state of the Academy We are slowly opening up. I hope that you and yours are safe and able to navigate your way through the confusion of the Omicron COVID variant. The Academy has been trying to figure out the best way to move forward in these times. Our current solution offers nothing but team training and private lesson training. Physical activity is significant for the physical and mental health of the youth, and we would like to be able to offer something at the Academy without spreading the variant. Club team training -During their practice time! Team training works as I can come to club teams and run sessions during their practice. It works well for both groups as they have gym time, and when I am not running month-long sessions, I have the time.   The cost for this activity is 15 dollars an hour per athlete for the session, and the team coach decides the skills to cover. I like this solution as it keeps the bubble small for the athletes as they are already a group that is working together. I am the only new member. The typical sessions I was running were 12-15 athletes from different teams, which is not a good practice with Omicron.  The team practice sessions are great because they can be cheap than the normal sessions as the academy does not have to pay for the gym time. Email me to set up one of these sessions. Email Us Private Lessons -Work in a small group of four athletes The Private lessons are suitable as well as the athletes decide who they would like to train with and the group only includes four athletes maximum. The athletes get to choose the topic and coach. I have only recently secured some gym times for the private lessons, and they are on the registration page. Most of them are sold out, and I will add new times as I get the gym times. The cost for the lesson is 149 dollars per hour for one to four athletes. Register

 

Plans for 2022

Welcome to 2022 I hope you have all had a restful and rejuvenating break at the end of 2021.  The last year was a challenge, and the Academy is looking forward to a better 2022.  The only sessions we will be offering in the new year until further notice is the Private Lessons.  We will book a location for the session after preregistration.  The Private lesson is 149.00 dollars per hour, and up to four athletes can attend.  Currently, Darren Cannell will be the only coach available to offer sessions.   When the academy opens with other sessions a notice will be sent out.  Stay safe and hope to see you on the court soon.
