Leveling Up Your 10-Year-Old's Volleyball

First, let's consider her current developmental stage. At 10 years old, a girl is typically in the "Learning to Train" stage according to the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework. This stage, for girls aged 8-11, focuses on developing overall sports skills and introducing basic volleyball fundamentals like the volley, forearm pass, spiking, blocking, and serving, with an emphasis on proper technique. It's also a critical period for skill acquisition. Our Academy's philosophy strongly aligns with this, focusing on building a solid foundation before advancing.
