Hi, I'm Coach Saeed and I want to create a volleyball community for our youth here in Riverdale
I was fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by teachers, volunteer coaches, and older students that gave their time and taught me the fundamentals of volleyball. As I got to high school and became more competitive in volleyball, it was my turn to mentor the younger kids so they could develop and become great at volleyball. My goal with the Riverdale Volleyball Club is to recreate this community for our youth.Volleyball is truly a team sport. You can have the best athlete on your team and lose every game. On the other hand, a bunch of kids that play well together can be impossible to beat. To be successful, volleyball demands that you think on your feet, communicate effectively, and work together on each play.
Clinics
We are offering development clinics for youth ages 10 - 14 during the Fall and Winter seasons. Myself and a few other volunteers have hosted these sessions at local schools in the Riverdale area (currently Earl Grey Senior Public School). We will charge fees on a cost-recovery basis to make these programs affordable.Beginner Sessions: These clinics will focus on basic skills (passing, setting and serving) and are designed for those new to the sport, regardless of age.Advanced Sessions: For the advanced sessions, participants are expected to be able to pass (bump and volley) consistently and with good form. Typically kids are 12 or older to be able to hit the ball over the net. These sessions focus more on team play, strategy, hitting, blocking and movement.
Limited Spots
For now, we will focus on skill development and take a small number of kids each year. Our goal is to focus on kids just entering the sport that have yet to reach high school age. As kids mature, we welcome them to return to the club and volunteer with us to help the next group of kids learn the sport.
