Tampa North Youth Academy

The Tampa North Youth Academy’s vision is to develop our players with a unique combination of technique, discipline, commitment and respect. These multiple 1 hour sessions are available for different age groups and skills sets.

The entry-level Tampa North Youth Academy is targeted for 5-8 year olds and is a motor development program that is developing basic volleyball skills. The sessions are centered on quickness, jumping, overall coordination and agility, hand-eye skills and throwing ability.

The Advanced Tampa North Youth Academy is aimed for young players in the 9-11 year age group. At this level players begin to develop the foundation skills for volleyball including fore-arm passing, overhand passing, attacking and serving. Small sided drills and games are used to maximize high quality repetition. The sessions will be geared toward developing proper fundamentals and movement skills while learning to play all positions. Our goal is for each player to learn each skill equally well and avoid any and all specialization at this age.

Sessions

Sessions are held throughout the year. Youth Academy is available for anyone aged 5 – 8 years old and Advanced Youth Academy is available for anyone 9-11! These sessions will typically last from 5 – 8 weeks with 1 hour practices each week.  We update this page with the most current information.
