I. Leveled Clinics: January - August
Our clinics offer 3rd-8th graders of all levels a chance to learn the sport and improve their skills through drills and gameplay in a fun and supportive learning environment. We focus on fine-tuning the skills of beginners while challenging intermediate and advanced players. All clinics provide instruction on serving, passing, setting, and hitting at age-appropriate levels.

III. Mini-Club Program: September - October
The Franklin Volleyball Club Mini-Club program offers 4th—8th graders the opportunity to build their volleyball skills on competitive teams during the fall season. Launched in the fall of 2019 with seven players, the FVC Mini-Club now includes over 50 players across multiple competitive and practice teams.
Competition teams target intermediate and advanced players in grades 6 - 8. Teams practice twice weekly (typically Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons) for 90 minutes and compete 4 - 6 times during the season. 
Practice teams target newer players in grades 4 - 7. Teams practice once a week (typically either Wednesday evening or Sunday afternoon) and compete 1 - 2 times during the season. Unfortunately, the mini-club program is usually unsuitable for beginner 8th-grade players.
The goal of the Mini-Club program is to provide players with high-quality coaching and skill development and prepare them for success at club tryouts. Approximately 80% of FVC Mini-Club players go on to play club, and the majority of our players play for SMASH or Lockdown. Our players have a strong record of success at the club and high school levels.
The 2025 Season:
- Tryouts: August 25, 27, 28 (5-9pm range)
- September 3 - October 26, 2025
- Practices: Wed evenings (5:15 or 7:00pm) and / or Sun afternoons (4pm or 5:45pm)
