Teen Classes

Prepare your teenager for school team tryouts, club seasons, and collegiate recruitment! At Volleyball Classes NYC, we train players to excel. In addition to high-caliber instructional classes, we organize our own internal leagues and field competitive teams for local area tournaments.

To ensure the best developmental environment, we group players strictly by skill level rather than age.

If you are undecided between two levels, always register for the lower level first. It is much better for your child's developmental growth to feel secure, dominant, and confident on the court rather than overwhelmed or intimidated. Our coaching staff can easily evaluate and move players up as they demonstrate mastery.

How do I know my child is at the right level?

Every practice the coach is assessing if a player should move to another level. If this is the case, the coach will communicate the player, and an email will be sent to the parents.

When a cycle is done, is the player moving to a higher level?

Completing a cycle of classes don't guarantee the player will move to the next level. That varies on each participant, and also how much effort is placed aside the classes. We highly recommend practicing 3x to 4x a week for great results. Also reducing screen time as much as possible.

I can't attend one of the classes. Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds. For every cycle of classes we will offer one make up session as a courtesy. The make up session might be offered at a different day, time frame, and location.

What equipment is needed?

Every participant should bring their own volleyball to every practice. Without a ball you cannot participate. Knee pads are optional but highly recommended. Mandatory use of sneakers. Clothes should be athletic and comfortable. Players with long hair should have it tight up properly.

Are friends and family allowed to watch the classes?

Yes, no extra fees. BUT coaches can be approached only after the class is over. Also in a very courteous manner. If any participant or anyone connected to that participant disturbs the class, those involved will be invited to leave the gym and depending on the case, the player connected to them will be excluded of the program.

I forgot my volleyball or any other items at the gym.

We are not responsible for any items forgotten at the gym, and there is nothing we can do to help regain it until the next session of the class. The person who forgot the item can feel free to contact the school at business hours and understand what to do to regain what was forgotten.
