Thunder Volleyball Academy is pleased to announce the availability of private (1-to-1) and semi-private volleyball lessons.  This is ideal for individuals who have time constraints or who are seeking a private setting in order to get full attention from highly qualified coaches.  These individual coaching programs will allow you to get a more custom tailored lesson according to your specific needs and requirements.

One on One Skills:

The Thunder Volleyball Academy offers individual one on one coaching clinics for individuals wanting to work on specific skills. Sessions are generally one to two hours and (with exception of the Hitting Skills) a two hour clinic is all that is needed to provide the technical information. The two hour sessions are better done as two separate sessions a week apart. The skills include: forearm pass, overhead pass, setting, serving, serve receive, blocking and defense. Usually participants will combine skills but when doing so you should consider 1 hour of time for each skill (except Hitting Skills).

Do it with a friend! You can do a semi-private lesson with a friend, and the cost is cut in half (you share the cost). For best results you should bring a friend with similar experience and skill as you will work together and against each other during the session(s).

COST:  $75.00/hour for Thunder athletes; $95.00/hour for outside athletes. A phone consultation is done prior to your session to determine the best coach or coaches for your skill request.

Hitting Skills:

Hitting Skills sessions require 3 to 4 sessions and athletes will work on the Solospike machine and be analyzed with the Dartfish video analysis system. Because this clinic requires two coaches it is more expensive.

COST: $100.00/hour for Thunder athletes; $125.00/hour for outside athletes. Like the regular sessions, this can be done in a semi-private session with a friend or group of friends.  It is important that you be the same height or at least jump the same height as your friend (or friends) when you take this clinic as it takes too much time away from the training if we have to adjust the machine up and down while running the sessions.
