Winter 2025 | Lil' Flurries 1st-5th Graders

Our Lil' Flurries training program welcomes athletes from the age of 6 to 10. However, if your child is 9 or 10 years old and already has volleyball experience, they have the option to join our 9-10u Prep Program. For children 9-10 years old who are new to volleyball, we highly recommend participating in our Lil' Flurries training program for a season or two before considering the prep program. The training program will be divided into two groups based on age: 6 to 8-year-olds and 9 to 10-year-olds. This division will be made based on the number of participants to ensure the best experience for everyone involved.

Due to a shortage of available coaches, Lil' Flurries will be capped at 36 athletes moving forward. This change allows us to maintain the high-quality training and personalized instruction that Avalanche is known for. By limiting group sizes, we can ensure every athlete receives the attention, guidance, and support they need to continue developing their skills and achieving their goals. This adjustment reflects our commitment to preserving the exceptional standards that have defined our program for years.

Format:

7.5-hours of group training/play (Wednesdays 6:00-7:15pm)

Athletes will engage in weekly training sessions, followed immediately by match play/scrimmages. Some days will feature shorter training periods followed by longer play sessions, and on other days, the schedule will be reversed. This structure enables athletes to immediately apply what they've learned during the clinic portion of our training. It also allows us to dedicate more time to specific fundamental skills, focusing on individual player development and enhancing their understanding of the game, which they can then practice right away in match situations.

 

Training:
  • Molten & Baden Softlight volleyballs
  • Hand & eye coordination
  • Volleyball movements
  • Team concepts
  • Passing
  • Serving

Coaches: 

All training sessions will be conducted by Coach Chris! With his vibrant energy and dynamic personality, he is the ideal choice for training our young athletes. Each week, he will receive assistance from current and former high school players, as well as occasional support from other club coaches.
