Volleyball After School – Starts TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2nd

One of the fastest-growing sports in the country—is coming to Brooke Grove Elementary School! Volleyball Academy's programs are designed to build physical literacy, community, fun, and a lifelong love for sports for kids ages 5–14. Join this 6 week co-ed program this winter and give your child the chance to learn, play, and grow in a positive, exciting environment.

FIRST TOUCH ACADEMY – Ages 5–8: Build fundamentals with fun games and drills. Players develop coordination, balance, and confidence in a low-net, small-court setting that makes volleyball easy to learn and love.
RISE ACADEMY – Ages 8–11: Grow skills in a structured, supportive environment. Through engaging games and smart coaching, players improve technique, decision-making, and teamwork—without the pressure of club volleyball.
MINI VOLLEY – Ages 11-14: Whether new to the game or building on experience, Mini Volley helps middle schoolers grow and develop essential volleyball skills.
Our goal is simple: help every child discover a lifelong love of sport and movement—right here at school! Learn more about our programs at www.volleyballacademy.com. To register now, visit www.volleyballacademy.com/locations/montgomery-county-md
