Clinic FAQ
What level of coach should attend?
Coaches of all levels will benefit from the wide range of information covered at the clinic. From skill fundamentals and drill ideas to mental training and game strategies, this clinic will give you an in-depth look at training techniques and teaching methods that some of the top coaches in the country use with their own teams. Whether you’re a beginning coach, an experienced professional or somewhere in between, you’ll walk away with new ideas and methods you can implement in your gym immediately.
Will Premium members get free access to the clinic recordings?
No, Premium members will not be able to access the footage from each clinic unless they’ve purchased access. You can either purchase a clinic ticket now to watch live during the event (with perks like Q&As with the clinicians, clinic handbook and CEUs), or you can purchase access to the clinic recordings after the clinic series is over at the end of June. Clinic recordings will be the same price as live clinic tickets. Premium members receive a 10% discount off of all clinic options – in-person tickets, virtual tickets, and clinic recordings.
What are the benefits of attending virtually?
Although the best possible viewing experience will happen in person at the gym, we understand that there are many reasons you may not want to travel to a clinic this year. Besides getting to watch from the comfort of your own home (in pjs … on the couch … near the fridge!), there are many benefits to attending an AOC clinic virtually, including:
- Watch from home with no COVID risk
- Save money with cheaper tickets and no travel, hotel or eating out
- Watch the clinic live or on demand if your schedule doesn’t allow for live viewing
- Watch only the topics that appeal to you if you’re not interested in a certain session
- Ask the clinicians questions in a dedicated Q&A session for virtual attendees
- Receive a printable handbook PDF for note-taking during the clinic
- Receive continuing education hours for participating
- Easily attend multiple clinics
What does a virtual ticket get me?
Purchasing a virtual ticket gives you access to a lot of the same things you would get at the clinic if you attended in-person, including:
- Access to the 8-hour live clinic stream
- The opportunity to ask the clinicians questions and get them answered in a virtual Q&A
- A printable handbook PDF full of drills and notes from the clinicians
- A certificate showing time spent at the clinic that can be submitted for continuing education hours
- On-demand access to the virtual clinic recording for life
- Access to discounts on gear and tools from AOC and its partners
Are there any discounts available for clinic tickets?
We also have big discounts available for coaches who want to attend more than one virtual clinic. These discounts will be applied automatically when you add more than one clinic ticket to your cart:
- Purchase 2 virtual clinics – 10% off all tickets
- Purchase 3 virtual clinics – 20% off all tickets
- Purchase 4 virtual clinics – 30% off all tickets
- Purchase 5 virtual clinics – 40% off all tickets
- Purchase 6+ virtual clinics – 50% off all tickets
Where can I find a receipt showing what I paid?

If you purchased a virtual ticket, you can sign in to your account and go here to view all of your past store purchases. If you cannot access your receipt either of these ways, please reach out to volleyball@theartofcoaching.com for assistance.
