Learn to Play Volleyball (Ages 8–13)
Sampson YMCA

Our Learn to Play Volleyball clinic is designed especially for children ages 8–13 who are new to the sport or building beginner-level skills. This fun and supportive program introduces essential techniques like passing, setting, and hitting, while helping kids develop confidence and a strong foundation in how the game is played.

At the heart of every drill and scrimmage are the YMCA’s core values:

• Caring – Players are encouraged to support and uplift one another, learning the value of teamwork and friendship on and off the court.

• Honesty – We promote open communication, fair play, and the confidence to ask questions and try new skills without fear of failure.

• Respect – Coaches and players create a positive environment by listening, encouraging others, and showing good sportsmanship.

• Responsibility – Each child learns to take ownership of their effort, attitude, and growth as they develop new skills and understanding of the game.

Through age-appropriate drills, guided practice, and team-building games, young athletes will grow their abilities and their character—setting them up for success in both volleyball and life.

Join us as we learn, grow, and play together—the Y way!

There will be no class on Friday, Nov. 28th in observance of Thanksgiving.
