Fortress Rise Program (Gr. 7-9 Athletes)

Our Recreation Program is designed for athletes who have a foundation in volleyball and are ready to continue developing their skills in a fun, positive, and structured environment.

Practices will run twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays, providing consistent opportunities for athletes to build skills and confidence throughout the season. Locations and exact times will be confirmed in early September.

Athletes will build on their fundamentals while learning more advanced techniques, game strategies, and team concepts. Through engaging drills, competitive gameplay, and coach-led instruction, participants will improve their passing, serving, attacking, defense, court awareness, and overall volleyball IQ.

This program is a great fit for athletes who:

• Want to continue improving their volleyball skills.
• Aren't ready for—or aren't interested in—the full commitment of club volleyball.
• Enjoy learning, competing, and growing in a supportive, development-focused environment.

At Fortress, we intentionally cap registration numbers because we believe every athlete deserves meaningful coaching and individualized feedback. Smaller group sizes allow our coaches to spend more time with each athlete, helping them refine their skills, build confidence, and make measurable progress throughout the season.

Our goal is to create an environment where every athlete feels seen, supported, and challenged—while developing both a love for the game and the confidence to continue growing on and off the court.
