Volleyball Training FAQs

---

Our coaches are highly qualified and experienced. They hold relevant certifications and have undergone extensive training. All coaches have collegiate-level playing experience and/or collegiate or club-level coaching experience.

There is no commitment required. Athletes can attend clinics on a cadence that works for them and their lives. However, we do recommend consistency in order to properly assess development.

Dig Nation is built for serious volleyball athletes who are committed to improving and standing out-not just participating.

Our program is ideal for athletes who:

Want to separate themselves from the average player

Are motivated to earn more playing time or a starting role

Take feedback seriously and apply it

Are willing to train with focus, intensity, and consistency

This is not a recreational program-it's a development environment for athletes who want results.

It depends on the athlete’s mindset-not just their experience level.

While most of our athletes are experienced players seeking development to help them reach the next level, we also welcome athletes who are:

Early in their development but highly coachable and driven

Willing to learn quickly and train with intention

However, athletes who are:

Just trying volleyball casually

Not ready for structured, high-focus training

…may not get the full benefit of this program.

Yes-this is one of our core focuses.

Dig Nation is an excellent fit for athletes who:

Aspire to play at the collegiate level (especially D1)

Understand that talent alone is not enough

Are ready to train with purpose and accountability

We emphasize:

Position-specific mastery

Game-speed repetition

Consistency under pressure

These are the exact traits college programs look for.

Most team environments focus on:

Team systems

Rotations

Game play

Dig Nation focuses on:

Individual skill development

Position-specific training

High-repetition, small-group instruction 

This allows athletes to:

Get significantly more reps

Receive direct, consistent feedback

Improve faster in key skill areas

Athletes are grouped based on:

Position

Skill level

Training readiness

This ensures:

Competitive but productive training sessions

Appropriate challenge level

Maximum development opportunity

Athletes can expect:

High-intensity, focused training

Position-specific drills and repetition

Immediate feedback and correction

A structured, disciplined environment

Every session is designed to translate directly to game performance.

We expect athletes to:

Arrive prepared and on time

Maintain focus throughout sessions

Be coachable and responsive to feedback

Demonstrate consistent effort

Athletes who commit to this standard will see measurable improvement over time.

Yes-that’s one of our primary goals.

We train athletes to:

Execute skills consistently under pressure

Show confidence and control

Demonstrate strong fundamentals

These are the traits coaches notice immediately during:

School tryouts

Club tryouts

Tournament play

If your athlete:

Wants to improve beyond team practices and open gyms

Is serious about volleyball

Is willing to be challenged

…then they are likely a strong fit.

If you're unsure, we recommend starting with a session and evaluating from there.

Compared to Private Lessons

Private lessons offer individual attention, but often lack:

Game-like reps

Real-time decision-making

Competitive environment

At Dig Nation:

Athletes still receive direct coaching and feedback

But also train in live, game-relevant scenarios

Learn how to execute skills with and against other players

Result: Skills that actually translate to real competition

Compared to Club Clinics or Large Group Training

Traditional clinics often include:

10–20+ athletes

Limited reps

Long wait times

At Dig Nation (small group):

Significantly more touches per session

Constant engagement (no standing around)

Immediate, consistent feedback and correction

Result: Faster development and improved consistency

Why the Small Group Model Works

Our structure allows for:

High-rep development (more meaningful repetitions)

Position-specific focus

Game-speed training with accountability

Athletes benefit from both:

Individual attention

Competitive, realistic training

Bottom Line

Private lessons isolate skills.

Large clinics dilute reps.

Dig Nation’s small group training develops athletes in a way that is both intentional and game-ready.
