Training Options
At Edge Volleyball Training, we’re all about real results. Our training is designed to help athletes improve skills, build confidence, and perform better in actual games. Whether you're looking for small group training, private lessons, or high-energy clinics, we have the right environment to help you get to the next level.
Small Group Training – The Best Way to Improve Faster
If you are serious about seeing your training transfer into real games, small group training is the most effective way to train. It combines the personalized instruction of a private lesson with the intensity and competitiveness of a real match.
Why small groups lead to better results:
-
More game-like reps – Athletes train in realistic situations instead of just isolated drills, allowing for more reading, reacting, and decision-making—just like in a match.
-
Higher energy and competitiveness – Training alongside other motivated athletes pushes you harder, leading to faster skill development and better mental toughness.
-
Still personalized coaching – Every rep comes with direct feedback, and athletes also learn by watching teammates make adjustments.
-
More reps, more growth – With four to six athletes per session, players get plenty of quality touches without long wait times.
Private Lessons – One-on-One Elite Training
Private lessons are designed for technical skill development, focusing on the foundational mechanics that every athlete needs to improve. These sessions provide detailed, one-on-one instruction to break down form, fix inefficiencies, and build the muscle memory necessary for long-term growth.
-
Personalized drills built for your position and skill level
-
Focused reps to correct habits and develop better mechanics
-
Video analysis available for deeper skill breakdowns
While private lessons are essential for fine-tuning mechanics, technical skills alone are not enough to succeed in real games. Once an athlete has built a strong foundation, the next step is applying those skills in a game-like environment—which is why small group training is the ideal progression.
Small group sessions provide more game-like reps, decision-making under pressure, and competitive play, allowing athletes to transfer what they’ve learned in private lessons into real match situations.
For the fastest improvement, we recommend using private lessons for technical refinement and small group training for skill application and competitive growth.
Choosing Clinics – How They Differ from Small Group Training
Clinics at Edge Volleyball Training are designed to provide high-rep, high-energy sessions that focus on developing specific skills. Unlike small group training, where athletes get personalized coaching in a controlled, game-like environment, clinics offer a fast-paced setting with more players on the court, maximizing touches on the ball and skill development.
We offer two types of clinics to help athletes elevate their game:
Weekend Positional Clinics
Focused on specific volleyball skills like setting, hitting, passing, and serving. These clinics provide hands-on training to help athletes master their position and refine their technique.
-
Ideal for athletes looking to develop and reinforce key skills
-
Great for repetition and muscle memory development
-
Helps build confidence in fundamental techniques
Game Prep Clinics
Designed to simulate real-game situations, these clinics help athletes apply what they’ve learned in training to competitive play. Combining drills with game-like scenarios, athletes improve their decision-making, reaction time, and court awareness under pressure.
-
Perfect for athletes who need more experience in competitive settings
-
Helps improve reading the game and making quick adjustments
-
Bridges the gap between practice and live match performance
Both clinic types are available for different skill levels, so no matter where you are in your volleyball journey, you’ll find a session that’s perfect for your athlete.
