Basic introduction to the sport. Foot work, basic passing and setting skills, proper serving form. Level 1 is a great way to learn the sport and build the foundation for future play. Level 1 is not competitive.
More advanced skill development and some level of competition. Players choosing Level 2 instruction should be comfortable and confident with the game's basic principles (taught in Level 1) of footwork in passing, setting, and hitting. In addition, Level 2 players should consistently be able to pass free balls to target, set a high ball outside, and serve the ball in bounds with proper form 80% of the time. In Level 2, players will be taken to the next level of volleyball, which includes but is not limited to, individual blocking/digging, attacking from all positions, pressure serving, team serve receive, setting and hitting strategies, and coach-led live play.
Advanced and competitive volleyball. Players should have a keen understanding of the game, it's timing, anticipation, movement and real awareness of the court and how the game flows. HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS please note: the resource you potentially have in Coach Matthews is phenomenal. Take advantage of her experience and ability to teach. You will become a more complete, competitive volleyball player.

Coach Matthews reply:
"Players move to Level 2 when they can:
Without these fundamental habits in place, it is difficult to keep up with the more advanced drills in Level 2. With only 12 players permitted, higher Level 1's can participate in Level 2 sessions and will be challenged by moving them around in passing/serve receive, zone serving and working on timing in hitting."

Level 1 players video clip learning the basics of Volleyball Passing: 3:10 seconds
Level 1 players video clip learning the basics of Volleyball Serving: 3:40 seconds
Level 2 players video clip; "Run Through Drill". Terrific example of multiple reps executed from a common volleyball position: 1:28 seconds. This drill teaches players who are in or near a prone position to quickly gather their feet, move forward with balance and make a quick accurate pass from a difficult starting point. While we strive to stop our feet when passing, sometimes this is not possible, especially on a short ball. It is best them to keep our feet moving, our platform low and use our momentum to push the ball to its target. This is a VERY common position in the game.
COSTS:
Skill Specific Pre-Season Prep Sessions: 1.5 hours
$35 per session

Coach Pi,
You had my daughter in one of your camps. She had never played volleyball before and she learned a ton. She is currently playing 7th grade VB at school and is in the top 3-4 players there. I am confident that your program made a big difference. Thanks.
