The focus is on playing **smart volleyball** — developing awareness, communication, positioning, and decision making rather than simply running through drills. **Who This Clinic Is For:** • Intermediate players with prior volleyball experience • Players who are currently playing or preparing to play in organized leagues • Players who have solid passing, setting, serving, and general gameplay fundamentals • Players looking to better understand team systems and tactical play **Please Note:** This clinic is **not recommended for beginners**.
