1:00 PM - 4:00 PM    Mass Force VolleyBall - Beach Volleyball Clinic
Mass Force Indoor Volleyball Clinic is a great place for players of all experience levels to come and improve their skills. Our goal is for the players to be pushed to the next level by providing feedback and competitive drills. Mass Force Beach Volleyball Clinic: Although the fundamental skills are the same as indoor, the strategy and execution of the game are very different on the beach.  This camp allows players to not only learn or improve upon volleyball skills, but also to have fun in the sunshine and experience the game in a whole new way. For players new to the sport, the Mass Force Beach Clinic is a place to learn sound fundamental skills in a fun environment.  Beach volleyball also has the benefit of allowing new players to develop skills such as diving as doing so is easier on sand than the hardwood.  Experienced players will be able to work on all of their skills.  Since beach is played in pairs, the players will touch the ball on every rally. Beach is also a great way for players to improve their communication skills since they can only rely on themselves and their partner to cover the entire court. Players will be grouped by age and experience. Players need to bring water bottles and sunscreen. *We are now using text alerts!

The sessions will begin with drills focused on skill development, and each session will end with a fun competitive game. Players will learn the ABC’s of volleyball and experience all of the fun that the sport has to offer. By the end of camp the players will be to showcase their abilities to serve, pass, and hit. Experienced players will learn the nuances of the fundamental skills and will be taught to assess and correct their own techniques. This will help them improve not only their all around game, but also all position specific skills in order to prepare for high school or club tryouts. Players will be grouped by age and experience. Players need to bring water bottles, sneakers, and lunches.   Coach Brett Pettis is Head Volleyball Coach at Nashoba Regional High School and former head coach of the Fitchburg State Women’s Volleyball Team. During his time as a member of the Emmanuel College Men's Volleyball Team, he began coaching at both the high school and club levels.

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM    Mass Force VolleyBall - Beach Volleyball Clinic
Mass Force Indoor Volleyball Clinic is a great place for players of all experience levels to come and improve their skills. Our goal is for the players to be pushed to the next level by providing feedback and competitive drills. Mass Force Beach Volleyball Clinic: Although the fundamental skills are the same as indoor, the strategy and execution of the game are very different on the beach.  This camp allows players to not only learn or improve upon volleyball skills, but also to have fun in the sunshine and experience the game in a whole new way. For players new to the sport, the Mass Force Beach Clinic is a place to learn sound fundamental skills in a fun environment.  Beach volleyball also has the benefit of allowing new players to develop skills such as diving as doing so is easier on sand than the hardwood.  Experienced players will be able to work on all of their skills.  Since beach is played in pairs, the players will touch the ball on every rally. Beach is also a great way for players to improve their communication skills since they can only rely on themselves and their partner to cover the entire court. Players will be grouped by age and experience. Players need to bring water bottles and sunscreen. *We are now using text alerts!

Mass Force Indoor Volleyball Clinic is a great place for players of all experience levels to come and improve their skills. Our goal is for the players to be pushed to the next level by providing feedback and competitive drills. Mass Force Beach Volleyball Clinic: Although the fundamental skills are the same as indoor, the strategy and execution of the game are very different on the beach.  This camp allows players to not only learn or improve upon volleyball skills, but also to have fun in the sunshine and experience the game in a whole new way. For players new to the sport, the Mass Force Beach Clinic is a place to learn sound fundamental skills in a fun environment.  Beach volleyball also has the benefit of allowing new players to develop skills such as diving as doing so is easier on sand than the hardwood.  Experienced players will be able to work on all of their skills.  Since beach is played in pairs, the players will touch the ball on every rally. Beach is also a great way for players to improve their communication skills since they can only rely on themselves and their partner to cover the entire court. Players will be grouped by age and experience. Players need to bring water bottles and sunscreen. *We are now using text alerts!
