Other bits of information!
* If the director has a conflict, one of the other trainers or I will take over.
* I ask for payment to be made up front.  This means the athletes have a reservation for EACH session, and the parents never have to contact me if their daughter is attending or not!  The director will be prepared to work with the girls who attend.  
* Girls can attend by reservation only.  I will allow no walk-ins. IF I have enough staff and IF there's room, I may consider allowing a few kids to come and pay $40/session.

Goals of Junior Training Academy:
The directors goals are:
* Every girl will be able to serve over the net.  Overhand preferably.  Underhand if necessary. 
* Every girl will know the correct technique to spike a volleyball.
* Every girl will know how to pass and dig w/o unnecessary arm movement. 
* Every girl will know/learn the B.E.S.T. way to set. 
*** Every girl will gain enough skill to make the next team that she tries out for!

Payment:
There are 4 ways to pay:
* You can send payment by Venmo: I'm at @Thomas-Houser-10. It's very easy, just like PayPal & there's not a service charge if we are Venmo Friends!
* You can send a check in the mail. If you need the address, just let me know.
* You can drop it by my house. If you need the address, just let me know.
* Or you can come by the gym where we give private lessons and drop off the payment.
