Level 1 is for beginners - 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and 6th Graders

We do not have seating and we use every square feet of our gym, we also need young players to be 100% focused on coaches, therefore The JumpStart® Volleyball Academy does not allow for spectators. 

We are second to none.

The key to fast ball control skill development is the rate of  contacts/touches.

Our Newbees and level 1 program players will touch the ball at least 5 times more than in any other organization within the same  90 minutes time period. Combined with quality adult coaching focused on a simple philosophy of caring, understanding and patience. 

Level 1 practice is capped at 16 players!

LAST 15 MINUTES OF PRACTICE FOR LEVEL 1 BEGINNERS and level 2 ASSISTED BY OUR HS PLAYERS. NO BETTER SUBSTITUTE FOR FAST PROGRESS IN BALL CONTROL. Next step: voice control ;-)


Tuesday Level 1 Fall Session

Important Message: All registered players will need to bring a Valid Medical Certificate at the start of their session, stating that they are fit and in good physical condition to participate in All Terrain volleyball programs and activities.

Level 1 JumpStart® Academy

IMPORTANT: FOR REGISTRATION INTO LEVEL 1, PLAYERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO TOSS A BALL HIGH AND CATCH IT AT LEAST 5 CONSECUTIVE TIMES. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR THIS LEVEL IF YOUR PLAYER IS NOT ABLE TO DO SO. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are new to volleyball this is "the" place to start. Session capped at 18 players.

JumpStart® Volleyball Academy operates under a very unique and exciting philosophy. We have created the MTT™ concept where focus is placed solely on helping new and not so new players to acquire and develop the necessary skills to play volleyball before being involved in league and teams as we believe that the game itself should be first and foremost enjoyable and not as so often seen: frustrating even infuriating for everyone involved.

 MTT™ stands for:  Move – Talk – Touch.

  • Move:  we run our drills at a very elevated tempo, encouraging and helping even the most reserved and unsure player to join in and enjoy the physical aspect of the game.
  • Talk: or as we say the 3 C’s. Communication, Communication, Communication. This is probably the most important part of the game. Letting your teammates know of your position and intentions. Our drills demand our players to express themselves vocally at all times with some very surprising but positive results.
  • Touch: bump, set, spike, toss, serve, hit. Development of volleyball skills is directly linked to the number of touches on a ball that a player makes within a 90 minutes practice session. Because of our high tempo and small size practice groups the player’s touch ratio is simply unmatched.

Our years of experience at Beginners Level 1 as well as Level 2 has shown that 6 on 6 league game play is mostly counter-productive and slows the learning process dramatically.

On the other hand our MTT™ concept put the same players in fast and exciting 2 on 2, 3 on 3 and maximum 4 on 4 game play environment with many variations. More space on the court, fewer players to communicate with, more ball touches and more importantly very little hesitation time resulting in less so common and frustrating  “mine or yours?” instances. We also encourage our more experienced and established players to join in these games, serving both as mentors and tutors. Didn’t we all learn so much faster by trying to copy and match our peers? Coaches bring technique and structure to drills but there is no better and exciting learning substitute than watching and playing with the “older” girls.

Finally, when the time comes to enter our JumpStart® Elite Level 2&3 and Spikes™ Level 3/4 teams environment, players, coaches and parents alike acknowledge the fact that team practices are actually true team practices with very little of that precious time spent on individuals’ tune ups.
