NEXT PROGRAM

OVERVIEW

The Girls’ NEXT Program is designed for athletes looking to play club volleyball during the winter season. This fundamental development program focuses on building the skills needed to prepare athletes for future placement on regional teams and to become the “NEXT” key player on their middle or high school rosters. Practices emphasize individual skill development within a team-focused environment. The season runs from mid-December through late March, with open gyms beginning as early as November.

Parent/Volunteer Coaches


We staff each of our NEXT teams with Volunteer adult coaches and upper High School athletes.  The executive director and master coaches for the National Program will continue to install and deliver practice training curriculum to the NEXT program ensuring consistent training parameters for all levels of Iowa Juniors.

Committed to Training


We trust in the power of quality repetition and fundamental skill development. Experienced coach instruction is essential for skill development. Scientific research suggests that it takes 3,000 consistent repetitions to make a habit, but only 1 repetition to potentially make a bad habit. Skill training takes a long-term commitment, experienced coach instruction, and a positive motivational climate. We allocate one court per team per two hour practice for each National Level Club team. We don’t believe that simply scrimmaging for two hours is an effective long-term plan to achieve success.

Caring for the Athletes


We make it a point to ensure that each athlete feels she is a part of a family at Iowa Juniors. We want them to have pride and purpose every time they step foot on a volleyball floor. It is our belief that if we push the athlete within our training process while showing them we care about them we can drastically increase the level of development individually.

On top of these three key elements to our training process we also believe in developing a pipeline for athletes to gain experience along the way. We strive to offer each family a program that fits their individual needs. Iowa Juniors desires to train each kid to reach their highest potential and we offer two programs currently that are working to develop athletes/teams that can compete at the highest level nationally. Our Iowa Juniors NEXT program is the building block to success at the national team levels.
