Positional Clinics

The CT Juniors Volleyball Positional Clinics is an 8-week program designed to give players the opportunity to work solely on their own position both separately and in relation to other position players on the court. Every other week, girls will work only with players who play the same position. On opposite weeks, groups will be combined so that girls will learn what role their position plays in relation to the full team.  Winter Program starts January 10th, 2012!

This program is only open to girls who are members of Connecticut Juniors (currently participating in one of our winter programs) and are in 8th-12th grade.  Program is limited to 40 players.  Please note: Non-members will be accepted if space permits.

Winter 2012 Program Brochure is now available
