Junior Development Pgm (10-15)

At the Junior Player Development Program, players will learn the proper techniques for the following fundamental skills: passing, serving, setting, and hitting. Each session incorporates both technical skill development and team-style strategies to reinforce game understanding and application.

This program is designed for beginner to intermediate level players, providing a strong foundation while encouraging athletes to progressively develop toward a more advanced level of play. Our goal is to build confidence, improve game IQ, and prepare interested players for higher levels of competition over time.

The program runs year-long (4 seasons), with each season lasting 10 weeks and culminating in a tournament at the end of the season. The program also includes four performance and conditioning sessions held every other week beginning in Week 2. There will be no practice during holiday weekends, and tryouts are not required to participate.

As the season comes to a close, parents are kept informed about their athlete’s development level, and we provide personalized recommendations on next steps—whether that includes continuing in the program, advancing to a higher level, or exploring competitive team opportunities.

SPRING REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN (SEASON STARTS MID MARCH 2026)

Can parents stay and watch practice?

Due to space limitations and the active nature of our gym, we ask that parents drop off and pick up athletes at the end of practice. Thank you for supporting a focused and respectful environment for all players.

Can we sign up for both Saturday and Sunday sessions?

Yes. If you'd like your child to attend both days, you're welcome to register separately for each session. Otherwise, we ask that each athlete sticks to one day per week unless a make-up has been approved in advance.

What happens after my child finishes this program?

Graduates of our Junior Development Program can pursue a variety of next steps at No Panic, depending on their interests and readiness:

* Junior Elite Girls Prep (Invite only)

* Boys Volleyball Training

* Skills Progression Clinics (targeted small-group sessions)

* Private Lessons (up to 2 athletes)

* Tryouts for club volleyball

Our coaches are happy to help guide you through the next phase of your athlete’s journey.

Will my child receive personalized feedback?

Yes, every athlete is assessed throughout the season. The assessment and next steps are shared with parents towards the end of the season:

*Week 1: Baseline assessment

Week 5: Mid-season evaluation

Week 10: End-of-season report* ( shared with parents)

These touch-points allow us to track progress, set goals, and provide meaningful feedback to support athlete development.
