SLS Junior's Training Program
About JTP
Salt Lake Sand’s Juniors Training Program is dedicated to providing high level coaching to all levels of athletes. Our coach's elite IQs for sand volleyball allows for drilling and preparation that is specific to sand volleyball; as the indoor game and sand game are different in many aspects that requires distinctively different training.
Our Juniors Training Program is open to players between the ages of 10-18 at all volleyball skill levels. While players with a prior background in volleyball might pick up techniques a bit quicker, all players will improve and have a ton of fun doing it, so no prior volleyball experience is required to play at Salt Lake Sand!
Practices will focus on volleyball skills, techniques, strategy, moving in the sand, defense, and a whole lot more! Players will drill, condition, and learn how to move, jump and dive in the sand in order to increase their sand volleyball experience.
Players will be evaluated at the start of the session and throughout the session to train on courts with players of similar skill level.
