UKnighted  is co-ed program or Elementary and Middle School players that are in  1st to 8th grade.  This program introduces volleyball skills as well as a coordination and coachability program.  Player's will  build their volleyball foundation and athleticism  in a positive atmosphere.  Once players develop their skills they can be moved up to our 12/14 team programs when age eligible.

The most significant decline in sports participation and physical activity in children occurs  at age 13 but the trend begins at age 7. Reasons for this decline are attributed to the lack of  fundamental movement skills, athletic ability, and perceived success. At age 7, a child’s perception of success and ability shifts from parental centered feedback to peer comparison and interactions with other significant adults. Children who have developed  better fundamental movement skills and who have positive interactions with coaches are  more likely to continue playing sports and more likely to maintain physical activity levels throughout their lives.  Our mission here is to develop the skills needed to be capable of participating in any sport with confidence and success and to encourage extra young athletes to make sports and  physical activity a part of their lives forever.  This will translate into sports other than volleyball. 

Most of our players start at the UKnighted level and work their way up through our 12s, 14s, and High School age programs. All of our players have a great volleyball foundation because of their training at the UKnighted level.
