Mini Club is an entry-level team experience designed to bridge the gap between training and competition for late beginners. Ideal for athletes in Grades 4–8 who are new to volleyball or not yet ready for the full club season, Mini Club combines training and gameplay in a short, focused season.

What to Expect:

• Team-based training 2x/week led by Storm coaches

• Weekend Scrimmages  focused on learning in context

• Fundamentals reinforced through live play, not isolated drills

• No travel required; all scrimmages are hosted in-house

• Storm-style coaching that emphasizes game understanding, movement, and adaptability

Who It’s For:

• Athletes in Grades 5–8

• Late beginners or those coming from Smashers or Rising Stars Academy

• Players not quite ready for full-season club or seeking a development-first experience

Why It Matters:
Mini Club is a perfect stepping stone for athletes to experience team play, build confidence, and prepare for future club opportunities—without the pressure or travel of traditional competition.

Built for learning. Powered by play.
This is where late beginners grow into real players—Storm style.
