Club Tryouts

Colorado Juniors summer sessions are open and we welcome any and all athletes (ages/club/experience level). We staff our sessions with current/former CJ coaches and players -- additionally we secure collegiate coaches and players and/or USA coaches/players to maximize your camp experience!

Our guarantee of coach to athlete ratio 1:8 has been instrumental in player development over the years -- the more feedback and contacts, the better.

Skill acquisition is taught through:

• demonstration
• practice
• demonstration again with key concepts pointed out
• practice
• repeat one key at a time

FEEDBACK is the most important variable in the learning process -- we will:

• provide goals
• provide targets
• compete and provide rewards
• precision praise or precision criticism
  • stating specifics so it can be repeated

Athletes can best be developed if they:

• pursue individual excellence and not "compare themselves"
• don't feel judged -- see instruction as assessing their game
• overcome the fear of making mistakes
• motivation should not be to "please"
• do things you have never done before

Major Concepts taught by position
Setters	Hitters	Blockers	defense/ passing
contact positon	Timing	finger position	forearm
extension	acceleration	penetration	overhead
footwork	arm swing	body placement	footwork
net relativity	Footwork	reading a hitter	directing

Tempo setting	tempo shots	lateral movement	reading hitters

Our coaches WANT to coach and WANT to assist athletes in development -- this is evident in their enthusiasm and demonstrations! a great opportunity for each athlete to develop team and individual skills -- also to check-out our cj staff and facilities for future club considerations.

Some camps/clinics have restrictions based upon age and/or experience level -- these is so each athlete can maximize their experience -- NOT to "one up" on anyone else -- please adhere to these restrictions -- if anyone is misplaced, we will move them to the appropriate group/level to assist them and their fellow athletes in that particular session.

All-skills

designed for the player that wants to work/learn concepts for each and EVERY skill involved in volleyball -- passing, setting, hitting, blocking, serving are individual skills taught -- additionally, team concepts for defense, offense, transition, serve receive and additional topics on weight training and nutrition. GREAT for the beginner and/or refresher for 9 hours of training. Good prep for club / MS / HS tryouts.

Hitting/blocking -- defense/passing -- setting (two hour sessions)

these 2 hour sessions will be grouped into approximately 4 levels to assist each athlete in skill acquisition --- they are good for the beginner through the more experienced player -- the same basic drill will be modified by group to maximize each athletes development. These are also good if players are considering "changing"positions, or exploring new ones - to get them exposure to the skill and see if they like it!

Registration -- High school | Middle School | Rookies

Academies

these sessions are for the more experienced/dedicated athlete and are very position specific -- again, each session will be divided into approximately 4 groupings to assist each athlete in skill acquisition -- if you have not attended one of our 2 hour sessions in the past or are not playing club, you should NOT start with these sessions, as they will draw upon those experiences/levels of play. The HS academies are designed for HS JV and varsity athlete. incoming freshmen should consider the MS academies also - depending on experience level. Especially setters - rising freshmen are encouraged to first do the MS setting academy, and then the HS setting academy (last year the rising freshmen all had great experiences who did both).

MS Leagues

each league session will have 1/2 hour of skill instruction, followed by coach guided play with feedback during play. teams will be changed each session to assist athletes in communicating with new teammates, and to learn and play new positions. These are great prep for school and club tryouts. You sign up as an individual, and are placed on teams each session to compete. score is not kept - but the girls are kept VERY busy!

3 vs 3

3 on 3 HS league is great preparation for HS tryouts, and to stay prepared for your upcoming college season! Lots of play and contacts guarantee to get you in shape! teams accepted will be limited (we may start up a second league if there is interest). aggressive back row attacking and explosive defense will be keys to success in this league. There is no instruction provided - just hours and hours of play!
