Back by popular demand, our Skill Clinic series are back after a wildly successful turnout this past summer. Our Friday night Skill Clinics focus on four fundamental areas:

– Serving
– Attacking
– Passing/Defense
– Setting

Each clinic is 1-hr long and features training from Hugh and Steph Hernesman. Hugh and Steph are currently at Nease high school after a 20+ year career as college coaches. After finishing their college careers at Clemson University to focus on their own children, Hugh and Steph partnered with one of the top clubs in the country- Dallas Skyline to bring high-level training to Jacksonville!

Sign up for one clinic or make it a regular Friday night event. Each clinic will focus on fundamental skills, cues and progressions that will help to improve the skill level of all players. These are the same training techniques the Hernesman’s used with their collegiate athletes as well as their High Performance athletes while working with USA Volleyball.

Exciting times as the club continues to grow. Please read and note the bolded quote. Skyline will not be affected in anything other than a positive way with this announcement!

This summer, we’ve added a Club Prep Summer 10-week session. Our goal is to continue to train younger athletes and help prepare them for middle school volleyball as well as introduce them to the benefits of training outside of school ball in a club setting.

Our Club Prep program this spring saw an incredible amount of growth in our athletes and was a huge success. We want to continue to give our younger athletes access to training and continue to grow our sport!

Starting in January, we will be offering an opportunity for new athletes to the sport to get an idea of what club volleyball is all about…a chance to “dip your toe in the water”, so to speak!

The program is called Club Prep. Club Prep is less involved than our regular travel teams- lower price, less practice and fewer tournaments- but still with the Skyline skill training that will prepare your child for their next level of volleyball! At Skyline, we “Master Train” for all of our teams, which means that all of our skill training will be lead by Hugh or Steph Hernesman-  who have over 20 years of experience as college coaches (as “high” as NCAA DI in the ACC conference). The Club Prep group will be training on a separate court, but at the same time and often in conjunction with our 12U travel team.

OVERVIEW

• 90-minute training session once a week

Setter U’s 1st two sessions have been a huge success and we have see major gains in just a couple months. We’re very excited to be starting our final 5-week session for 2018 on Sunday, November 11th. Setter U  is Jacksonville Skyline’s setter training academy which will be lead by Jacksonville Skyline Co-Director Hugh Hernesman. Coach Hugh has been training setters for 20 years- 18 of those years at the collegiate level. Among many accolades, he has trained two AVCA All-Region setters and two AVCA All-American setters.

Setting is one of the most under-taught and under-trained skills at the youth level. It involves a large amount of technical instruction on top of a high number of productive repetitions. Setter U offers specialized setter training for both beginners and advanced setters once a week on Sunday afternoons. Go to the Setter U page to learn more or sign up HERE.
