Director:
Claire Jenkins, c/o '21, Blacksburg. She and I will be working together to ensure an awesome experience for the athlete!
Claire has been playing vball since the 6th grade, has worked with me hundreds of hours, has attended the High Expectations camp, and is giving private lessons on her own and is working camps with me.
She was a starting setter/right-side for the powerful Blacksburg varsity team for 3 seasons.
She is a member of the University of Mary Washington's volleyball team.
She is the ultimate combination of kindness, teaching ability and encouragement. All with high expectations!
Assistant Directors:
I will list these when they are hired!
Other bits of information!
* If Coach Claire has a conflict, then another quality coach 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! Coach Claire 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:
Coach Claire's 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 3 ways to pay:
* You can send payment by Venmo: I'm at @Thomas-Houser-10. It's very easy, just like PayPal; but there's NEVER a service charge to you or to me.
* You can send a check in the mail. I'll let you know the address.
* Or you can come by the gym where we give private lessons and drop off the payment.

May I ask a favor: If you know someone whose daughters might be interested, would you please forward this website to those families!As you know, the earlier an athlete begins to get involved in a sport, the most successful she is!
