Elementary and Beginner Volleyball Athletes (Ages 12 & Under)

Elementary school and beginner volleyball athletes through age 12 are such a special part of the Block Out Academy community! We love the chance to introduce our youngest volleyball players not only to the fundamentals of the game, but also to the fundamentals that will help them succeed off the court. Our girls have fun, make friends, learn the basics of really playing as a team, discover their unique talents, grow in their confidence, learn about a work ethic that will serve them in all of life, and so much more.

Explore the links below to all the different classes, volleyball clinics, and other opportunities we've created just for beginner volleyball athletes.

Volleyball Strength and Conditioning

Even our youngest volleyball athletes can benefit from learning the fundamentals of strength and conditioning! In the Foundations of Athletic Performance Class, our 12 & Under athletes will be introduced to performance training and the weight room. The class is geared toward improving movement quality and aiding in injury prevention. By attending this course your child will develop solid training habits that will carry them throughout their athletic careers!

Mental Performance Coaching

All the athletes at Block Out Academy quickly learn that their mental performance and mindset is one of the three pillars of true athletic excellence! Coach Nev is a licensed mental performance coach with extensive training and experience in areas like:

• the fear of making a mistake

• self-confidence issues

• social problems an athlete isn't sure how to handle

• relaxation and focus techniques

• growing a growth mindset (instead of a fixed mindset!)

• time management tips and tools

• and how to build a stronger mental game when you play
