2026 Summer Programs Announced — Registration Now Open!
April 1, 2026 Author: Webmaster
Virginia Elite is excited to announce that registration for our 2026 Summer Programs is NOW OPEN!
After another sold-out summer, we are excited to welcome athletes back into the gym for four weeks of high-repetition, skill-focused training led by our Virginia Elite club team coaches.
Last year, our complete summer schedule sold out in just three weeks, and space increases are not guaranteed. Athletes and families are encouraged to register early to secure their spots.
Our summer programs include opportunities for both Middle School (MS) and High School (HS) athletes, with sessions designed for athletes at a variety of ages, positions and experience levels.
All summer programs are open to any athlete — no Virginia Elite or other club affiliation is required.
2026 Summer Program Offerings
Defense & Passing — MS & HS
Our Defense & Passing sessions focus on the technical fundamentals needed to become a stronger passer and defender.
Serve receive training will include platform control, reading the server, proper footwork and movement, while defensive training will focus on reading hitters, positioning and digging a variety of attacks.
Athletes will receive a high number of quality repetitions along with individualized instruction and feedback from the Virginia Elite coaching staff.
Attacking & Blocking — MS & HS
Attacking & Blocking sessions provide position-specific training for outside hitters, middle blockers and right-side hitters.
Athletes will work on approach footwork, arm swing mechanics, reading the set and blocker, attacking technique and shot selection through high-repetition training.
Blocking instruction will focus on proper footwork, positioning, timing and technique above the net.
Setting — MS & HS
Our Setting sessions provide focused technical and tactical training for setters.
Athletes will work on hand positioning, footwork patterns, setting technique and consistency before progressing into more advanced concepts including running an offense, decision-making and transition setting.
Setters will also have opportunities to work with positional hitters, allowing them to apply their training in more game-like situations.
Serving — All Ages
Serving is the one skill in volleyball that an athlete has complete control over, making it one of the most important opportunities to gain an advantage over an opponent.
Our one-hour, high-repetition Serving Clinics focus on technique, consistency, accuracy and tactical serving.
Athletes will receive instruction on:
- Standing Float Serve
- Jump Float Serve
- Jump Topspin Serve
- Serve mechanics and arm swing
- Accuracy and consistency
- Tactical serving and shot selection
These sessions are designed for athletes at a variety of skill levels looking to develop a more consistent and effective serve.
Libero & Defensive Specialist — HS
Our Libero & Defensive Specialist Clinics provide position-specific training focused on serve receive, ball control and defensive technique.
Athletes will work on body position, footwork, movement, platform control, overhead digging and a variety of defensive techniques.
These sessions are not limited to liberos and defensive specialists. Outside hitters, middle blockers and other athletes looking to improve their backcourt skills and become more complete six-rotation players are also encouraged to attend.
High School Prep
Our High School Prep Sessions wrap up the summer and are designed to help athletes fine-tune their skills and prepare for upcoming high school tryouts and seasons.
Players will receive a comprehensive review of all volleyball skills while getting a high number of quality repetitions before transitioning into their school seasons.
Unlike our skill-specific clinics, HS Prep includes competitive and 6-on-6 play, giving athletes an opportunity to put their skills into action in a team environment.
Athletes may attend individually or alongside their high school teammates.
College Prep
Virginia Elite is excited to once again offer our College Prep Sessions for collegiate athletes and experienced high school players looking for advanced training before returning to their respective programs.
Sessions will feature an advanced/intermediate, fast-paced training environment built around high repetition and competitive play.
College Prep will be led by Jason Kozak, a 16-year veteran of collegiate coaching, and will include skill training along with competitive and 6-on-6 play.
Advanced high school athletes are also welcome to participate.
Every Session Is Different — Come Back for More Reps!
Athletes are encouraged to attend multiple sessions throughout the summer. Our sessions do not build on one another and they are not repeats. Each session provides different drills, training opportunities and repetitions.
Whether you attend one session or return throughout the summer, our goal is simple: provide athletes with quality contacts, focused instruction and as many meaningful repetitions as possible.
Space Is Limited — Register Early
Last summer's complete schedule sold out in just three weeks, and we cannot guarantee that additional space will be added once a session reaches capacity.
Online registration is required to secure your spot.
Whether you are preparing for your school season, looking to improve a specific skill, or simply want more quality reps this summer, we would love to have you in the gym training with us!
