What is Mini-Beach Volleyball?

This exciting and innovative program is designed to teach the fundamentals of beach volleyball for kids, boys and girls, from 6 to 11 years of age.

New Wave focuses on the fundamentals of beach volleyball, motor skills and games in a fun environment that maximizes learning opportunities.

Here are some specifics:

The courts are smaller and the nets are lower than a regular volleyball court. Even the volleyball itself is adapted to these young athletes. Just like any other sport, volleyball is best learned when young. This allows the athlete to develop in stages.

Each lesson is carefully planned and tailored to the skills of these budding athletes. Brazilian children begin playing volleyball at a very young age. It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and stay in shape! Coincidently, Brazil is consistently one of the top ranking volleyball teams in the world!

Coaches are professionally trained and follow this unique methodology. It is truly exciting to see this amazing sport grow, and we cannot wait to share it with you!
