1) If she is a beginner, 7th grade or below (we have taken a few 8th graders), OR she is a young developmental players with some experience ( Usually 4th grade and below) The best option for this age group is called KIDZ POWER.  For girls who have not played before, or limited training.  If they start here and we determine they are above this program level, we will recommend moving her up.

This program teaches all volleyball skills in a fun, awarding atmosphere, which includes games, drills, and some match play. Our coach to player ratio is limited to no more than 10-1.

Players are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible, but not required- if they make 70% or more- you will get your monies worth.

Locations- We plan to offer Kidz Power Program at Simpsonville Rec, Spartanburg, and Greenville-Pavilion.

We have trained over 1000 beginners in last 10 yrs. Our training system is proven and recommended by most of the schools in our area.

What our members have said...

" Kidz Power was great for Lyndsey, we can't believe her skill level and how much she learned.  She made her middle school team and started as a 7th grader! Thanks to all the coaches for all they did!  She loved it! See ya next year. Carol T "

" Just wanted to drop you this email and tell you how much Amber loved your Kidz Power program.  It took her sister two years to learn to serve in school and Amber is serving better than she is after one season- wow! She loved the coaches- they are so good and make learning fun.  We plan to let her tryout for Dev. tms this season... thanks again! "

We offer three KIDZ POWER options.

1) PRE-Kidz Power:  We have moved it from Monday to Tuesday nights- starts 2nd Tuesday in September and continues 6 wks, once a week ( 6 sessions) on Tuesday from 6:30-8pm at Westside Club- Sptbg (only). Program Fee is $60, we do not offer the free 3 practice "try us" option on this program (is available for limited and extended KP which begins in Nov).

Players sign up by location, so even if you choose for example Simpsonville Rec, you have a choice to attend there, or also, any other of the scheduled practices at any location. We offer " Practice All You Want Policy"- so you can attend the other scheduled practices at any location. This also offers flexibility in schedules.

This program begins mid November. They practice twice a week, normally one week day and one weekend day. (schedules are posted early, click here to see).

At Pavilion, we have Tues, Thurs ngts and Sunday afternoons. Keep in mind you can practice as much as you want by attending other locations/times.

Kidz Power teaches all fundamentals on an advanced level within a fun atmosphere.  Prizes are awarded at practices our "Success Store".  Typically our 12 wk program is equivalent to 2 seasons of school ball.
