Cooperative Beach Volleyball Program for beginners (7-11 year olds)

Most programs are based on the regulation game and modified down to meet the needs of the younger / inexperienced athlete.

This program however was designed from the bottom up, conceived after hours of balloon volley in the living room with my 2 year old son.

By working cooperatively we can increase the number of repetitions a player gets, make it more enjoyable, and dramatically accelerate the learning curve. Long rallies are more fun, and with cooperative challenges the rallies last longer.

That is the basic concept of the CO-OP VOLLEY program.

Kids on either side of the net work together to achieve long rallies without the ball hitting the ground, and these rallies have specific rules, which correlate to levels of difficulty.

When two kids successfully achieve a specific level they obtain a reward, which is a sticker placed within their SAND MONSTER comic book, and then they move on to the next level challenge.

After obtaining a certain level, an athlete can also ‘assist’ other athletes to obtain that ‘level’ and gain ‘assist credits’ which will be recorded by stickers attached to the back of the comic.

Included for your $20 is the coaches manual which outlines

a basic training plan.

a list of warm up drills and

cooperative skill challenges with increasing levels of difficulty

teaching cues for beginner players and

athlete record chart.

It has been put together in a 'booklet' form so you can go to your local print store and they can easily create copies.

Also included is the 'SAND MONSTER' comic book that can be used by your athletes as a record chart. Stickers can be placed on the inside cover.

Additionally included is a black and white coloring version for those that like to color in their own copy.
