Our coaches are prepared to transfer their years of volleyball knowledge and skills to each of our young athletes in order to assist them in achieving their dreams of competing at the highest level of juniors volleyball.
Our coaches will work hard this year to counsel each player regarding their progress throughout the season. Statistics will be maintained for each player in order to track their skill improvement and overall athletic transformation. Each player will be evaluated and tested by their coaches and then encouraged and educated in the improvement of their strengths and weaknesses. A growth plan will be established and tracked for each player in order for them to see the true improvements in their volleyball game throughout the year.
Our coaches will take extra care in developing not only the physical game but the mental aspect of volleyball as well. We lose many talented athletes to the mental downfalls of sports, and KVA holds a strong philosophy of physical & mental toughness for all ages. The players that we see in desperate need of mental improvement will be invited to small sessions in order to help them defeat the mental issues that hinder their physical performance and the overall development of the team.
