JJVA Mini Club
AT JJVA, we believe that every player has the potential to shine, and we are dedicated to nurturing that potential through our exceptional training programs and unparalleled coaching staff. Our club is committed to providing a supportive and inspiring environment where players can develop their technical skills and love for the game.
JJVA Mini Club is an instructional league for players ages 10 to 16 from August through October. Coached by our Travel and Club Program coaches, players develop athletic skills and volleyball techniques in a fun and competitive environment. Local tournament play and season championship is included in the Mini Club season. Our tournaments consist of one-day local events.
Mini Club offers a comprehensive training curriculum tailored to young athletes’ unique needs. Our experienced coaches employ innovative training methods and cutting-edge techniques to enhance your skills in serving, passing, setting, spiking, and all aspects of the game. You will receive personalized attention and constructive feedback to help you unlock your full potential and overcome obstacles.
2024-25 Parent Information
**Parents: Parents can attend and watch all training sessions and tournaments.
However, parents will not be allowed onto the courts at any time, and “parent coaching” from the bleachers will not be tolerated. In addition, this program is designed to help promote and introduce athletes to the sport of volleyball. Our coaching staff is focused on player development with the goal of players learning to play volleyball with three contacts. This means that many of our games are not focused on the score or outcome of the game.
