Centercourt Volleyball Junior Development Program

Our Centercourt Volleyball Junior Development Program is crafted for players ages 5 through 12, welcoming all skill levels.

We foster a dynamic and progressive learning atmosphere, grouping athletes by age and rotating them through drills, exercises, and simulated gameplay.

This program is intentionally designed for long-term athlete development - helping players move upward as they grow.

Beyond volleyball skills, we provide an environment for the fully rounded athlete, integrating strength, movement, and conditioning work - ensuring each player develops holistically on and off the court. Athlete-to-coach ratios are structured to support optimal development: VolleyToss & MiniMovers will train in groups of four athletes per coach, while the MicroVolleys and Development Flight train in groups of six athletes per coach.

Location: Centercourt Lawrence - 1080 Spruce Street, Lawrence, NJ
