LAUNCH PROGRAMS
Fall Launch Teams (formerly Fall Club)
Fall Launch Teams (grades 4-8) are a great stepping stone into more serious club programs, as athletes get the experience of team training and tournament play with less time and financial commitment. All athletes will learn fundamental skills, how to be a great teammate, and how to play the game of volleyball in a fun, encouraging environment.
​
Athletes who register for the Fall Launch Placement Day will receive an automatic placement in the Fall Launch Skills Program. If they are not placed on a team, you will get to choose which day you wish to participate in the skills class. More details, including skills class day options and price points, can be found in the Fall Launch Team Page.

Fall Launch Skills Program (Grades K-12)
Fall Launch Skills Program (grades K-12) classes offer a unique introduction to the sport of volleyball for those in grades K-12. All athletes will learn fundamental skills, how to be great teammates, and how to play the game in a fun, encouraging environment. ​​
Mini-Volley
(Coed Grades K-4)
Learning volleyball at a young age can be challenging. Our Mini Volley Launch clinics introduce volleyball and competition to young athletes in a modified playing environment where they can succeed in our complex sport. Training sessions focus on technical skill development and mini-games to build strong fundamentals and foster a love for the game.
Middle School
(Coed Grades 5-8)
Our Middle School Launch clinics are the perfect introduction to volleyball or continuation of our Summer Clinics. These training sessions focus on teaching fundamental skills and HOW the game is played to prepare young athletes for their middle school and, eventually, club programs.
High School
(Girls Grades 9-12)
Our High School Launch clinics are perfect for individuals looking to continue learning and preparing for the Winter Club season. Athletes playing on a Connecticut high school team may NOT participate in this program. Participants will engage in fun, fast-paced small-group and whole-group activities to increase their proficiency in volleyball skills.
Winter/Spring Launch Teams (Grades 4-12)
Formerly known as our In-House Program, our Winter/Spring Launch Teams (Coed Grades 4-8 / Boys & Girls Teams for Grades 9-12) gives athletes the experience of team training and 6 v 6 play with less time, travel, and financial commitment. All athletes will learn fundamental skills, how to be a great teammate, and how to play the game of volleyball in a fun, encouraging environment. Athletes will be assigned teams and will compete against other Launch teams, but will not travel to tournaments.
