The Junior Volleyball Director's Association (JVDA) is pleased to announce an introductory tour for the VolleyTots program to 10 cities around the Midwest
and South. As part of on-going efforts by the JVDA to gather and share information on mini volleyball, this tour will focus on training appropriate to 3 ½ to 8
year-old children. Hosting areas are asked to provide facilities, 30-50 children, and to invite club directors and coaches interested in learning more about
training this age group.
Each session will be about three hours in length and include training for coaches prior to an oncourt session with the children. Included in each training block will be hand-eye coordination exercises, plyometrics, foot speed, strength and agility training and age-appropriate volleyball drills and games. The program will conclude with a debriefing with coaches to share insights and feedback. All attending coaches will be given an overview of VolleyTots, a series of beginning drills and a VolleyTots DVD. All participants will be registered in the VolleyKids Program and will receive quarterly news and drill & exercise updates.
