Is my kid too young to start?   It all depends on the motor skills the child has, but we use the age of 6 as a benchmark. What group should my kid start in?  Volleyball groups are determined by skill level, not age or height. After the assessment practice, coaches will determine what group is the best for the kid. Our coaches are all aware that being around much younger kids can be demotivating, and we assure you that it would be much worse if the child was with an advanced group and unable to perform exercises as everyone else. When the kid is ready, we will move them to the next level. We WILL NOT break under the parent’s pressure. I got a uniform last term and its in good condition, I don’t want to have another! The uniform changes each year and is a completely different uniform so you can have a full collection throughout each season! What does the admin fee cover? Do I have to pay it every term?

If your child does not wish to participate, we can make an exception and reduce it from the admin fees. How many times a week should my kid practice? It all depends on what you are trying to achieve and what your schedule looks like. Our recommendation would be:  2 – 3 times per week for kids that are trying to learn basics and stay active.  4+ times a week for kids that are pursuing volleyball scholarships or professional contracts in the future. Why isn’t the youngest group practicing with the ball more often?  At the young age of 6 – 10, it is crucial for us to develop their motor skills, coordination, team spirit and to lay the foundations for a proper technique. That is why they would be performing more of playground type of drills and basic ball exercises repeatedly.  Do you have monthly plans for the kids? Unfortunately, our kids and teens classes are only by term – usually 15-20 weeks. The option to pay per class is available if you are looking for a non-commitment. Do you offer instalments?

You can book your makeup sessions with our admin team or coaches. Do I get a discount if I sign up both my children? Yes we have a sibling discount of 20% on the training fee for the 2nd child. My child is already involved in few sport activities and would like to start practicing volleyball, how often is it good? Encouraging a child to be in a healthy and competitive sport environment, helps developing physical and social skills. We recommend that the kid starts with 2-3 times per week. Later on, it can be adjusted to more or less depending on their needs, interests and progress. The most important is that it is enjoyable and beneficial for the kid, which is our main objective. Do you have personal volleyball trainings? Volleyball is a team sport and interaction with other players and teammates is important for making progress and being a team player. However, if you want to improve and work on certain skills, individual sessions are possible with previous assessment based on age, level and aim you would like to achieve.

My daughter underwent surgery and won’t be able to train for 2 months, can we take these sessions for next term? It will depend on a case-by-case basis, if approved to carry over to the next term, it will be added on top of the enrolled sessions. What equipment is required for volleyball practice?
