CAVC is hosting a series of individual skill work & conditioning clinics this spring for boys and girls who are confident in their fundamentals and looking to refine their volleyball skillset. Athletes will participate in warm-ups, skill work, and conditioning at each clinic. Individual clinics will have a specific focus, and athletes can register for one or more as their interest and availability allows.

Pre-registration for clinics is required. Each session has a limited capacity. Should a clinic reach capacity, a waitlist will be opened. You can sign up for one or more clinics using the registration link at the bottom of the page. Each clinic costs $50.  

Coach Walter Spurlock will run these spring clinics. You can read more about Walter in his bio to the right. All clinics will be held from 5-7 pm at the Covenant Upper School on Sunday evenings.
