Question 1

What are the volleyball court dimensions?

Accepted Answer

An indoor volleyball court is 18 meters long by 9 meters wide (approximately 59 feet by 29.5 feet), divided into two equal 9m x 9m halves by the net. The net height is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11⅝ inches) for men and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4⅛ inches) for women. Each side has a 3-meter attack line separating the front row from the back row. Youth volleyball may use modified court sizes and lower net heights depending on age division.

Question 2

What are the six volleyball positions?

Accepted Answer

Outside Hitter (left-side attacker), Middle Blocker (center net player), Opposite/Right-Side Hitter, Setter (the offense "quarterback"), Libero (defensive specialist in a different jersey, back row only), and Defensive Specialist (back-row substitute). At the youth level, players should try multiple positions before specializing — position specialization typically starts around ages 13–14.

Question 3

How does volleyball scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Volleyball uses rally scoring — a point is awarded on every serve. Matches are typically best of 5 sets. The first four sets are played to 25 points (must win by 2), and a fifth set (if needed) is played to 15 points (must win by 2). Some youth leagues use modified scoring — best of 3 sets or sets to 21 — depending on age division and tournament format.

Question 4

What are the basic volleyball rules?

Accepted Answer

Each team gets a maximum of 3 contacts per side. The same player cannot hit the ball twice consecutively (except after a block). The ball must be hit cleanly — no catching, holding, or throwing. Players rotate clockwise after winning the serve back. Back-row players cannot attack the ball above net height from in front of the 3-meter attack line. A serve must clear the net and land within the court boundaries.

Question 5

Where can I find volleyball training in San Antonio?

Accepted Answer

Prime VB offers private volleyball lessons, Performance Pod small-group training, camps, and clinics across the San Antonio metropolitan area — including San Antonio, Boerne, Helotes, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, La Vernia, Converse, Selma, and surrounding communities. We train at gyms, schools, and facilities throughout the metro area. Contact us to find the closest training location to you.

Question 6

What volleyball training works best for beginners?

Accepted Answer

For beginners, the most effective training focuses on foundational ball control — passing and serving — alongside athletic movement patterns like footwork, lateral movement, and basic coordination. We recommend starting with private or small-group lessons so a coach can identify and correct technique early, before bad habits form. Our free downloadable starter program is also a great at-home supplement.

Question 7

What age groups do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Prime VB serves athletes ages 8 through 18, organized into three developmental tracks: Elementary (8–10) focusing on motor skills, coordination, and fundamentals; Middle School (11–13) building consistent technique and competitive readiness; and High School (14–18) delivering advanced position-specific training, varsity preparation, and college-prep development.

Question 8

Does my child need prior volleyball experience?

Accepted Answer

No. We work with athletes at every level — from first-time players who have never touched a volleyball to experienced club and varsity athletes. Session one always starts with an evaluation so Coach Megan can meet your athlete where they are and build a plan from there.

Question 9

How do I schedule volleyball training?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the booking form on our Book a Session page or contact us at hello@primevb.com. We'll respond within 24 hours to confirm your session time, location, and any questions about your athlete's goals.

Question 10

How long are volleyball training sessions?

Accepted Answer

Private 1-on-1 sessions are 60 minutes. Performance Pod group sessions are 60 minutes. Clinics are typically 90 minutes. Half-day camps are 4 hours and full-day camps are 8 hours.

Question 11

What should my child bring to training?

Accepted Answer

Volleyball shoes (court shoes with gum rubber soles), knee pads, a water bottle, and athletic clothing. We provide volleyballs for all sessions. If your athlete doesn't have volleyball shoes yet, any clean non-marking court shoe works to start.

Question 12

Can parents watch the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parents are welcome to observe all training sessions. We find that parents who watch are more engaged with their athlete's development and better able to reinforce coaching cues at home.

Question 13

Do you offer video analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every private session and Performance Pod includes video feedback — key moments captured with coaching cues that your athlete can review between sessions. For our College-Prep Track, we also provide guidance on recruiting film production and editing.

Question 14

How much do private volleyball lessons cost in San Antonio?

Accepted Answer

Private 1-on-1 lessons with Prime VB are $110/hour. Performance Pods (small-group training with 2–4 athletes) range from $40–55 per player per hour. Multi-session packages offer savings of 15–25%: 4 sessions for $374, 8 sessions for $704, or 12 sessions for $990.

Question 15

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and digital payment methods. Payment is collected at the time of booking.

Question 16

Do session packages expire?

Accepted Answer

Packages are valid for 6 months from purchase date. If you need an extension due to injury or scheduling, contact us and we'll work with you.

Question 17

Is there a discount for siblings?

Accepted Answer

Siblings training together in a Performance Pod each receive the group rate ($40–55/player depending on group size). For families with multiple athletes booking separate private sessions, contact us to discuss family pricing options.

Question 18

What's your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged in full. Emergencies happen — reach out and we'll work with you.

Question 19

What skills will my child learn?

Accepted Answer

Training covers all fundamental volleyball skills — serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and defense. Every session also includes volleyball-specific athletic development: movement efficiency, jump mechanics, landing safety, and age-appropriate conditioning. What gets emphasized depends on your athlete's age, position, and development plan.

Question 20

Do you offer position-specific training?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer dedicated development for setters, outside hitters, middle blockers, opposite hitters, liberos, and defensive specialists. Position-specific training can be delivered through private lessons, Performance Pods with athletes at the same position, or through our downloadable Position-Specific Training Program.

Question 21

Can you help with tryout preparation?

Accepted Answer

Tryout prep is one of our most popular services. Club tryouts in San Antonio typically run October through November, and high school tryouts are usually in July and August. Our 4-week Tryout Prep Framework builds ball control, competitive speed, position skills, and mental readiness through targeted sessions designed to simulate real tryout evaluation formats.

Question 22

What age should my child start volleyball?

Accepted Answer

Children can begin structured volleyball introduction as early as age 8. Sports science research shows that ages 8–11 is the most sensitive window for motor skill acquisition. Athletes who start at 12 or 13 can absolutely catch up with proper coaching — starting later is far better than starting with poor instruction.

Question 23

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Prime VB operates across the San Antonio metropolitan area — we train at gyms, schools, and facilities in San Antonio, Boerne, Helotes, Fair Oaks Ranch, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, La Vernia, Converse, Selma, and surrounding communities. When you book a session, we'll confirm the training location closest to you.

Question 24

Do you offer weekend sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer sessions Monday through Saturday with flexible morning, afternoon, and evening availability. Weekend sessions are popular, so we recommend booking in advance.

Question 25

Can you come to our facility?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your team, school, or organization has court access, Coach Megan can travel to your facility for private sessions, group training, or team clinics across the San Antonio metro area. Contact us to discuss logistics and pricing.
