Player Evaluations May 22nd 4-6pm at Paradise Sports Complex - Summer Program 3 June to 26 July
Welcome to the Naples Beach Volleyball Summer 2024 player evaluations. The evaluations are designed to help our coaches place players in skill appropriate groupings for training. They are not designed to weed out or eliminate athletes from the program - everyone who signs up will be placed into the program. This day allows us a chance to meet with the players and parents and to answer questions or concerns you may have for the summer program. Even if we have previously coached you we would like it if you could attend the tryout as this will get you your AVP membership for insurance and give you a chance to meet our coaching staff and get any questions answered. Additionally it should be FUN!!

We like to establish each player's individual level through a series of basic skills test. The tests advance throughout our program in the level of difficulty and complexity. Our goal is to find out where our players are now, then set realistic goals given their training time available in order to measure their progress. Additionally this helps the player's understand their own strengths and weaknesses for focused training.
