The Junior Grass Clinic…

…is a unique opportunity for junior players to learn from the very best pro grass players in the country. Not only will you learn skills and strategies for grass volleyball, a format you can play around the country for years after high school and college, but you will be able to gain valuable insight from our pro players on what it takes to reach the highest levels of the sport. Furthermore, as this event is part of the Fresh Coast Champions Cup weekend, you can take your skills you learn in the clinic to the Junior Quads Tournament on Sunday and/or stick around to watch your coaches from the clinic compete for the cup on Sunday's Pro Exhibition!
