Youth Development Programs
Over the past several years, student athletes have been getting introduced to sports at younger and younger ages, a trend we've seen in both our programs and our club teams. Here at CJVA, we believe in building the fundamentals of athleticism from a young age, which is why we have developed our VolleyTots and Jumpstart programs to meet the needs of players at different developmental stages. Through these programs, we have seen many young players bloom into talented athletes competing at the national level.
VolleyTots
Our VolleyTots program is meant for players of all genders who are 4-7 years old. In this program, our coaches give our youngest players an energetic introduction to the foundational skills of volleyball and general athletics. We focus on building confidence, coordination, and teamwork in a safe, positive environment. Through creative games, obstacle courses, and beginner-friendly drills, kids are introduced to fundamental movements like passing, serving, and jumping.
JumpStart
Our tried-and-true JumpStart program is built for players in the 1st through 7th grade, and is perfect for graduates of VolleyTots, or any young athletes with some prior sports experience. Our coaches focus on mastering and refining the core skills of volleyball. Through progressive skill training, real-time feedback, and dynamic games, our coaches guide players to develop their passing, setting, serving, and hitting. This program is also a great bridge towards our more advanced programs.
