STARS Volleyball

STARS Volleyball is an after school program, that teaches the game of volleyball in a fun way to young players (Grades 1-6). The emphasis will be on skill development with the help of modified rules and equipment (lower nets, smaller courts AND lighter balls). STARS teaching philosophy is to emphasize the components of Fun, Fair Play and Positive Attitudes while the participant learns to play the game of volleyball. STARS Volleyball coaches are professionally trained in the approach and philosophy that has made STARS Sports a successful program across the country.

Basic Philosophy and Instructional Approach

In recognizing the basic importance of skill development as an integral component of fostering success, our approach will focus on basic rules and skills and most importantly, positive attitudes in sport.
Parents are encouraged to participate in the skills clinic portion to gain an appreciation and understanding of our focus.
Basic skills like passing, setting and serving will be emphasized. Skills taught will be age appropriate and ability appropriate.
Winning games will not be our focus. We do not use a scoreboard to determine a winner and loser. Everyone will win by enjoying, learning and playing the game of Volleyball.
Games are designed to compliment the skills being taught and learned. The game itself offers a healthy competitive environment.
STARS adheres to the “Fair Play Codes” as set out by the Canadian Council on Children and Youth.
Play is progressive in that the experienced player can adhere to the rules of volleyball in this modified game setting. As the skill level improves so too will the demands and challenges for the players.
Games are monitored by trained coaches. Parents are certainly encouraged to participate in this task as the season progresses.
All parents and youth are encouraged to HAVE FUN and share in the enthusiasm and excitement of the game of volleyball. Everyone in the gymnasium is encouraged to recognize and praise good performances by all individuals.

This program makes for an awesome fundraiser for teams, as you are not only raising funds for your program, you are also building your own feeder system, while providing your players with leadership opportunities.
