Based on Volleyball age Categories, generally the age groups are as follows: 
12U: Athletes born on September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Our Development program provides athletes the opportunity to be introduced to the sport of volleyball, and develop skills that can be performed under easy and stable conditions. The goal is to build and demonstrate consistency, control, and precision within game situations. Triple Ball will be introduced and provide athletes the opportunity build and maintain these skills under pressure, when conditions change, or demands increase. Athletes will be buddied with older athletes in the club as part of our new Stoirm Buddies program to encourage leadership and mentorship. 

This group is not considered a travel team, however there may be an opportunity to play neighboring clubs for added experience. 

In an effort to incorporate Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD),  Tripleball the official competition format for this age division and through 13U. The main catalyst for Volleyball Nova Scotia’s recommendation of Tripleball is the increased probability of creating a rally. Building up rallies and experiencing success early on is an integral part of learning and enjoying the game of volleyball.
