Attain Volleyball Academy — New Castle County, Delaware

Who We Are

Youth sports should be focused on the youth and not the club.

Attain Volleyball Academy was forged from this idea. We built Attain around the athlete first. Attain is an opportunity for kids to play volleyball at the highest level without losing their love of the game.

"Not everyone is training to be a division 1 college athlete but we're all training to be better than yesterday."

Tryout Evaluation Open Gym/Clinic

Girls · All Ages · Two Courts Running Simultaneously

📅 Sunday, September 20

⏰ 1:00 – 2:00 PM

📍 Hockessin PAL (note: different location than our usual Hockessin United Methodist site)

A one-time, open-gym style evaluation clinic for girls, with two courts running simultaneously for different age groups. 6 coaches total will be completing individual tryout-style evaluations for every athlete. Each coach will complete a written evaluation, which gets emailed to parents shortly after the session. This feedback is designed to be essential prep before tryouts on October 24.

Want to work on what the coaches see? Immediately following the open gym, we're holding 6 private lesson spots to dig into anything you want — or exactly what our coaches flagged during your evaluation. These book separately: look for "PAL Private Lesson 9/20" in our Private Lessons booking ($80/hour for one athlete, +$20/hour per additional athlete, up to 4 athletes total in a small group).
