JVA Training Philosophy – Teaching Volleyball Skills » a piece by piece» 

As a Coach, it is a training rule to teach the adequate fundamental skills and technique continuously to correct bad habits. The purpose is to work every technique into muscle memory; «a piece by piece.» By giving enough repetitions and practice time to each volleyball technique, players learn to use the correct techniques automatically on the court.

Strength and Physical condition

Specific strength and conditioning can optimize a player’s performance on the court. For this reason, to JVA a physical training program is not optional, but indeed part of the regular training of a volleyball player at any level. Here are the three (3) reasons why physical condition plays a vital role in a player’s ability to develop and enhance various skills:

1. Strength and power: players need power in their legs to get high in the air and strength in their upper body to successfully spike, block, and dig balls.
2. Jumping and agility: volleyball requires explosive jumps and rapid changes in direction. The ability to jump high is a gift amongst volleyball players. Additionally, incorporating agility drills will improve speed and the player will be able to track and quickly change directions to keep the ball in play.
3. Injury prevention and flexibility:

Not only do volleyball players need to be skilled, strong, and powerful, they also need to be healthy. Developing a foundation of balance, strength, and flexibility allows muscles to work together to minimize stress on the joints and ligaments. Flexibility increases range of motion, improves technique, and enables more force to be exerted. Therefore, implementing a volleyball specific strength and conditioning program significantly helps prevent injuries. On the other hand, the JVA coaching staff have the knowledge and resources necessary to analyze technique and plan routines according to age, level, and the needs of every player.

Sportsmanship, Discipline, and Respect: 

Discipline, respect, and responsibility is not only valued in society, but is even more appreciated in athletics. Respect amongst players, coaches, opponents and all JVA family is paramount to our organization.

Commitment: 

Volleyball, as in any other sport, requires individual commitment. Being dedicated is the most important key to success as a team and in life. Without commitment, athletes will not be able to accomplish excellence in technique, perseverance, character and have disciplined training. The JVA family is goal oriented and aims to help all athletes achieve their personal volleyball goals. That being said, we take individual commitment and punctuality very seriously. Being present and on time for practices and games is mandatory. It is respect for your team and coaches that you value our time and contribute to the success of the JVA family.

Love for the game: 

Once the decision has been made to train or teach a sport at a competitive level, the sport then becomes a lifestyle. To JVA, the love for volleyball is indispensable, and our goal is to be an example to our athletes and transmit this energy and passion to do things they love to do. Commitment, loyalty, respect, dedication and responsibilities are only a few of the attributes of our training that we hope to pass on and develop equally within our athletes.

Family Atmosphere: 

As a family oriented organization, we care and treat every player with respect as they are our own children. The JVA family is committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and rewarding volleyball club experience.
