  • We host an all-ages volleyball skills practice at Seth’s Gym, a private gym just off Lone Mountain and Cave Creek Road. Practice days rotate — check the calendar of events in the BAND app for upcoming sessions. We have amazing agility-drills equipment already!

A note from Coach Seth

From time to time I record players so we can watch back their practice form, skills, and techniques so they can see a mirror of themselves — it offers a tool for coaching when students can’t grasp certain concepts. I also post images from the gym on the website and in the BAND app from time to time.
