Players who want to play in the Grade 5-6 Development League should have already played in our Spikes Learn to Play program and received a Silver Certificate Medal. Or, the child can be recommended for the program by the Spikes coach when receiving their ‘What’s Next’ report on the last class.
The Grade 7-8 Development League is an introductory volleyball league for middle school students who already have some experience playing volleyball e.g. Pakmen Technique Tutoring or Spikes for one or two seasons.
The Grade 9-12 Development League is an introductory volleyball league for high school students. They should have played in one of our programs before, or have some experience playing volleyball. If they are new to volleyball, we recommend they enroll in Technique Tutoring for one season, then move up to the Development League.
Each weekly session includes instruction and drills where players learn and practice serving, passing, and hitting, and how to play defense within a team system.
By the end of the program, players will be more skilled individually and will be better team players.
All players receive an official Pakmen T-shirt and participate in a championship with medals and prizes on the last day.
Recommended Program
For a second program, we recommend that players enroll in Development League 2 times a week.
Consistent engagement in volleyball guarantees noticeable improvement in players’ skills, from serving and setting to spiking and blocking, contributing to a well-rounded and proficient player.
- Read MorePlaying volleyball more than once a week offers young players a myriad of benefits that extend beyond physical fitness. Regular participation enhances depth perception as players learn to gauge the trajectory and speed of the ball, honing their spatial awareness and timing. Additionally, the frequent practice cultivates teamwork, communication, and quick decision-making, vital skills that foster personal growth both on and off the court.
