MAVS SMASHBALL/Kids Volley (ages 6-9) 1.25 hours

Developed in the Netherlands, Smashball is designed to get young boys interested in volleyball at a younger age (but is open to both genders). It is based on the three pillars of sport, FUN, MOVEMENT and FEEL to build the fundamentals of volleyball. Check out this video to see what Smashball is all about. Smashball will be combined with our Kids Volley program at all locations. Based on the popular “circulation volleyball” methods introduced in the Netherlands, adopted by Volleyball Canada, and introduced as a Maverick program, the concepts and tactics of volleyball can be discovered in a fast-paced way that allows the game to flow through the use of catch and throw techniques, rapid rotation, and increasing levels of difficult

MAVS YOUTH VOLLEY (grades 5-6) 1.5 hours

Progressing to higher-level skills development combined with more structured game scenarios, players in grades 5 and 6 begin to transition their physical skill techniques to game play. A modified "4 on 4" game format will introduce the basic skills and team tactics required for higher level play and allow for all players to have as many ball touches as possible. Progressive introduction and instruction of the skills will ensure that the game remains dynamic and fun while learning continues. Sunday mornings.

Two level options (TEEN VOLLEY 1 and TEEN VOLLEY 2)

 

MAVS TEEN VOLLEY-1  (Ages 12-13)  2 hours

As players' skills increase, we intensify the teaching drills plus modify the game (slightly) to increase the quality of play and number of contacts in a controlled manner. At this level, instructors begin with the “3-ball” format and will progress to faster and continuous action while evolving to a full "6 on 6" game – with appropriate tactics and position-specific skills. Players will be streamed according to skill level whenever possible so beginners and intermediate level athletes will feel they are being challenged at the appropriate level while learning a striving to improve. Sunday afternoons.
