Welcome to Bombers Volleyball Flight Academy

---

 The Flight Plan: 

Beginner Level (Foundation Skills & Fun)

Who: Typically ages 6-12 or any older players who are brand new to volleyball. No prior experience required. Focus: Basic skills and fostering interest in the sport. We emphasize fundamentals: learning how to serve (usually starting with an underhand serve for easiest success), proper forearm passing (bumping), simple setting technique, and basic footwork for court movement. Just as important, we want beginners to enjoy volleyball, so they develop enthusiasm to continue.

Intermediate Level (Skill Development & Introduction to Competitive Play)

Who: Generally ages 10-14 or older with some basic proficiency, including graduates from Beginner or kids who have a bit of school or rec league experience. Focus: At this stage, we refine fundamental skills and introduce more complex ones, while also teaching how to play organized volleyball (positions, rotations, teamwork). The intensity and expectation are a notch higher than Beginner. We start treating them more like a “team” – which includes fostering communication on court and basic strategy.

Advanced Level (Pre-Club Competitive Training)

Who: Generally ages 11-14 or older who have mastered intermediate skills. Many will be preparing to try out for club teams or high school varsity/JV teams, or are on those teams and want extra training. Focus: This level simulates a competitive club team environment, with advanced techniques, physical conditioning, and strategic gameplay. We want these players to transition seamlessly into true competitive teams after this. The tone is more serious – players are expected to be committed and work hard, though we still keep instruction positive and constructive. Training should begin to mirror a club team training regimen.
