Intermediate (Grades 9–10)
Athletes refine their attacking skills with a focus on timing, shot selection, and power. Training includes hitting from multiple positions, using roll shots and tips, and learning how to adjust to out-of-system sets. Players will also work on attacking against a block, covering teammates, and converting rallies into points. The goal is to make athletes reliable offensive options who can adapt to different situations.

• Duration: These sessions are typically one hour long,

These sessions aim to provide a quality experience by ensuring athletes register for the appropriate level, as choosing a tier that is too high can impede progress for the athlete and their peers.
