Mini Club is designed to give playing opportunities to younger athletes in a relaxed setting where the focus can be on fundamental skill training. This is an excellent introduction for young players interested in volleyball.
INSTRUCTION
At Jacksonville Skyline, we employ a “Master Training” concept- including Mini Club. What that means is that all skill instruction and training is coordinated by and directly taught by a Skyline veteran “Master” trainer. Each team will have a head coach that will then oversee their own players and work with the Master trainer to give the individual attention each team member needs.
Why that matters: As a parent and athlete, you want to make sure that your investment is a good one. While we employ some very talented coaches, the training and experience level of the coach leading instruction is crucial to athlete development. At Jacksonville Skyline, we view the development of our athletes as the single-most important thing we do. We will ensure that the quality of instruction is well above what other options athletes have.
FOR WHO?
Mini Club is for all middle school and younger athletes, whether you:
– Are just starting to play volleyball
– Haven’t started middle school volleyball yet
– Did not make your competitive middle school team
– Wish to train in addition to a limited middle school program
PLACEMENT
Mini Club is different than our “spring/summer”full” travel teams. Instead of making cuts for teams, our priorities are to place all athletes on a team, with the goal of the short season to be for all level athletes to go from their “Point A” to “Point B”.
