Mt. Hood VBC youth program

Learn, Move, Play, Grow! The perfect introduction to volleyball for ages 5 to 9. No tryouts. Sundays at 8th Street Academy, Nov 8 to Jan 24.

What we
work on

Huckleberries is a fun, engaging program that builds a strong foundation of volleyball basics while developing athletic movement skills and confidence. Through age-appropriate drills, games and activities, athletes learn passing, setting, serving and moving on the court, along with coordination, balance, agility, teamwork, communication and sportsmanship.

Move

Footwork, balance, and moving to where the ball is going.

Coordinate

Tracking, catching, and tossing so the ball stops being scary.

Play

First passes, sets, and serves, built on the moves above.
