TrainVolleyball FAQ
General Volleyball Questions:
I've never played volleyball before, where should I start?
We offer introductory clinics a couple times per year. These are a great place to start. Beginners are more than
welcome at the weekly workouts as well. There are other great introductory clinics and leagues around too. Check
these sites for more information:
Huntsville Volleyball Association (HVBA)
UAH Volleyball
Rocket City Volleyball Club (RCVC)
North Alabama Spikers Association (NASA)
NACA
Rec leagues
Sand Volleyball Questions:
Is playing sand good for my overall volleyball skills?
Yes! Playing in sand magnifies the need for proper technique and conditioning, and at the same time allows for
joints that may take a beating all Winter on hard court to recover and strengthen. This makes it a tremendous way
to continue making gains without over training.
I already play at the Open/AAA level - will I benefit from the sand workouts
and training?
Definitely. These workouts are very similar to what you will see the top professional doing on a regular basis.
There is no substitute for good drills and touches on the ball combined with focused coaching. Consistent and
quality workouts like these are a huge factor in taking your game to the next level.
My son or daughter is eleven, can he/she still participate?
Maybe. The 12 year-old guideline on some of our events is based on the fact that many children are not
developed physically enough to handle the rigors of movement in the sand paired with the focus required to play
the volleyball. If your child is very athletic already, then he or she will probably be fine participating at a younger
age, and is more than welcome to come out.
What do you have for adults?
Adults are invited to participate in all events that do not have an upper age restriction listed.
What if I can't make some of the weekly workouts or the tournaments?
It's OK! This is the beauty of beach volleyball. Everyone can come and go and work to improve at their own pace.
Those who can attend more sessions or tournaments will advance more quickly, but there is never any other
penalty for missing sessions.
Do I need to bring a partner?
Maybe. Working with a partner toward a goal of improved tournament and skills performance is a great way to
progress so it is helpful to have a partner with the same level of dedication but it is certainly not required. Often
people will meet each other at the workouts and then decide to try tournaments together. Alone, with a partner, or
with a group - you will see improvements! Even should you choose never to play a tournament, the skills you will
develop will make you a better player in whatever way you play!

Why are there so many fitness ads on your site isn't fitness what you're selling?
The ads on this site are specifically selected by me to inform people of new programs and/or supplements that can
help them on their way to better fitness and health (plus they make great spacers!) I only accept ads from
companies I personally have done business with and support.
