AVA Development Clinics

Alberta Volleyball Development Clinics are a sport outreach program that provides volleyball enthusiasts across the province with the opportunity to participate in a top quality volleyball clinic.  The program is available to all Alberta Junior and Senior High Schools and Clubs at minimal cost.  Funding assistance is provided by the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation and the Alberta Volleyball Association.

All of our Clinicians are NCCP certified with volleyball experience as coaches and players.

Host Requirements & Responsibilities

Any interested schools, groups, or teams may book a clinic.  At various times in the year this program may be in high demand so you are encouraged to apply for your hosting date(s) early. We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requested times. However, due to the large number of clinic requests, we may need to group clinics of similar regions together. When demand is high, priority will be given to those groups and communities who have not had a clinic in recent years.  Beyond this, clinics will be booked on a first come first serve basis.

• Schedule clinic times and dates with Alberta Volleyball.
• Promote the clinic among your team(s), or group(s).
• Register all participants, collect all participant registration fees and forward all fees to Alberta Volleyball.
• Ensure that there is a minimum of 12 participants to a maximum of 30 participants for each clinic. 
• Reserve and supply the clinic with adequate facilities and all necessary equipment.  This includes gym space, volleyball net(s), and one volleyball for every two athletes.
• Ensure that a supervisor/coach/teacher is present during the clinic.
