Evolution Volleyball Youth Skills Academy

The Evolution Youth Skills Academy is a fun way to introduce the game of volleyball to new players and to help more experience players develop and improve their skill set. The academy is a great introduction to club volleyball as well as a great introduction to the Evolution Volleyball Academy experience. Players will participate in fun yet challenging drills that will allow them to consistently improve.

The Academy places particular focus on the 8th grade player who is planning on trying out for their high school freshman team in August.   With the growing number of girls participating in the high school tryout process players can find themselves being 1 out of 70 to 100 participants.   The Skills Academy provides players with the training to better prepare them for the stress of the tryout process.   

The academy caps registrations at 24 players (12 in each group) as we focus on giving each player the individual attention they require to succeed. Our Master coaches provide a positive, fun, and challenging environment where players are encouraged to make as many mistakes necessary during their process of improvement. Because we believe that mistakes are opportunities to learn how to succeed our players develop a strong fearless attitude when playing.
