Spring – Middle School Prep (6th Grade) Advanced

Tuesdays & Thursdays • 4:00–6:00 PM

  • 4:00–5:00 PM: Volleyball Skills (Main BOA Facility – 133 W Oxmoor Rd, Birmingham, AL 35209)

  • 5:00–6:00 PM: Strength & Conditioning (BlockOut Strength Facility – Suite #315, across the parking lot)

Program Overview

This Advanced Middle School Prep course is built for experienced 6th graders who already have a solid foundation in volleyball and are ready to train at a higher level.
Athletes should already be comfortable with:

  • A proper hitting approach

  • Correct platform and passing form

  • Fundamental ball control and movement

This is not a beginner or limited-experience program. It’s designed for athletes who have played in a school or club setting and want to prepare for competitive middle school play.

Each two-hour session includes both volleyball skill work and strength training, helping athletes become faster, stronger, and more confident under pressure.
Enrollment in the full two-hour session is required. Skills-only participation is not permitted.

Who It’s For

  • 6th graders with prior BOA program experience or other Club experience preparing for middle school tryouts

  • Advanced 5th graders with approval from Coach Nev (email hello@blockoutacademy.com)

  • If your athlete is still developing basic fundamentals, please register for:

    • Beginner/Limited 7th–8th Grade Program (for limited experience)

    • School of Volleyball (for true beginners)

If unsure where your athlete fits, email hello@blockoutacademy.com before registering.

What Athletes Will Gain

  • Advanced serving, passing, setting, attacking, and defensive systems

  • Position-specific IQ, decision-making, and game awareness
