MOMENTUM VOLLEYBALL

Adult Technical Training
& Clinics

Focused training designed to improve technique, confidence, and overall game performance.

Provide athletes the chance to learn, ask questions, make mistakes and work through the finer details of volleyball. Lead by professional and competitive coaches, technical training will help you bring your game to the next level.


Technical Training offers weekly sessions focused on building core skills, and helping athletes develop a few similar skillsets over the course of a weekly program. Athletes will focus on a few themes over the course of the program, and have the opportunity to make consistent progress from start to finish!


Technical Clinics are single-day sessions, focused on specific skills and themes for athletes to improve one area of their game. Athletes will spend the duration of the session focused only on the main clinic theme.

Skill Level Descriptions:


  • Beginner - For players who are new to volleyball or still learning the basic rules, positions, ball control, serving, passing, setting, attacking, and court movement. Best suited for players who want instruction, confidence-building, and a slower-paced environment.


  • Early Intermediate - For players who understand the basics and can participate in rallies, but are still developing consistency, positioning, serve receive, and controlled three-contact play. Best suited for players moving beyond beginner programs but not yet ready for full intermediate pace.


  • Intermediate - For players who have solid recreational or league experience, understand rotations and positions, and can keep rallies going with regular three-contact play. Players should be comfortable serving, passing, setting, attacking, and communicating in a game setting.


  • Intermediate Plus - For stronger intermediate players and teams that use more structured systems, consistent serve receive, multiple attacking options, and better court coverage. Players should be comfortable with faster rallies, positional responsibility, and higher expectations for ball control.
