Winter Mini-Volleyball & VolleyTots
Sessions will be held at the Bloomington National Guard Armory, not at the Illini Elite Training Facility. Mini-Volleyball is volleyball played with adjustments for the young player. It is played on a smaller court, lower net, lighter ball and with rule modifications to introduce the young player to volleyball. Mini-Volleyball and VolleyTots are programs that emphasize motor learning through various volleyball-like skills. The young players (VolleyTots) will focus on motor development/learning, movement, skill development, volleyball-like games and lots of fun! The older players (Mini-Volleyball) will focus on motor development, basic volleyball skill foundations, 3 contact play development, a little competition and more! Experienced 5th Graders may want to look into the Winter Youth Program. Directions to the Bloomington National Guard Armory can be found HERE.
Loads of fun and learning! Bring a friend!
