VOLLEY BUDS/SPROUTS

Volley Buds 3.5-Pre K (Phase 1)
Our program is designed to help 3.5-Pre K athletes develop fundamental motor skills, build strong muscles, and begin practicing hand–eye coordination. While it incorporates elements of volleyball, it is not strictly a volleyball program—it's an ideal introduction to all athletics.
Niva Volley Buds encourages children to enjoy being active, gain confidence in sports, and prepare for the next level of athletic participation.

Volley Sprouts K-2nd (Phase 2)
Niva Volley Sprouts is the perfect way for K–2nd graders to jump into volleyball with excitement! This fun, affordable program gives young players the chance to learn, grow, and build confidence—without the pressure of a competitive team setting.
We’ll focus on the key fundamentals, boost basic skills, and keep the energy high in our upbeat Niva environment. With enthusiastic coaches and tons of positive vibes, your young athlete will have a blast while picking up solid volleyball skills.
