Why Starting Early Matters: How Mini Club Builds a Strong Foundation for Young Players

Volleyball is more than just a game—it’s a journey that begins with the right foundation. At Houston Force Volleyball Club, we believe the earlier athletes are introduced to the game, the stronger and more confident they become as they grow. That’s why our Fall 2025 Mini Club program is designed specifically for 3rd through 6th grade athletes who are ready to learn, compete, and fall in love with the sport in a fun, supportive environment.

Mini Club isn’t just about drills and matches—it’s about giving young athletes a head start. At this age, kids absorb skills and habits quickly. Starting now means your child gets more time to develop essential techniques, build confidence on the court, and foster a true passion for volleyball. This season runs from August 18 to December 15, and it’s the perfect blend of skill-building, teamwork, and excitement.

Each athlete will attend Monday night practices from 6:00–8:00 PM, beginning with a fun and welcoming evaluation on Day 1. Players will be placed on balanced teams of 7–8 athletes based on skill level, ensuring that every child gets attention, encouragement, and the right level of challenge. Our experienced coaches are passionate about teaching the fundamentals in ways that are fun and age-appropriate.

But the best part? Four Sunday tournaments throughout the season give athletes the opportunity to put their training into action. These events are competitive, but always supportive—helping players gain confidence, learn game rules, and celebrate progress together.

Every Mini Club athlete receives a special uniform package, which includes a practice shirt, game jersey, knee pads, and a drawstring bag—helping them feel like part of the Houston Force family from day one.

The Mini Club Fall season cost is $1,200, with payment plans available to make it easier for families to participate. And if you’re still deciding, we invite you to attend a trial practice on August 4 or August 11 from 6:00–8:00 PM for just $25. It’s a low-pressure way to meet the coaches, experience our training, and get a feel for the program before committing.

At Houston Force, we’re not just building volleyball players—we’re growing confident, happy athletes who love to compete, learn, and be part of a team. Whether your child is brand new to the game or ready for the next level, Mini Club is the perfect way to begin their journey.
