🎯 Coaching arm ≠ playing arm.
As coaches, we don’t need the big, full-speed swings anymore. Keep the motion short, simple, and repeatable. Less wear and tear, more years in the gym. 🏐

The future is always at A5. It starts with our Minis—where young athletes learn, grow, and thrive. Join us and see where volleyball can take you. Next program is Fridays at 5, and Mini’s on Saturday
