2021 Raleigh Coaching Clinic

All Clinics

Raleigh, NC Clinic Register Now

The volleyball world has been forced to adapt to the many challenges of COVID-19, and our 2021 clinics are adapting as well. This year, we’re offering you two different ways to attend AOC’s world-class coaching clinics – in person or online.

An in-person ticket is a 2-day ticket that gives you gym access for both days of the clinic. A virtual ticket is a 1-day ticket that gives you online access to stream a single day of the clinic.

Instead of briefly touching on all parts of the game, each day of the clinic will focus on a narrower set of topics so that our presenting coaches will be able to explore them fully and give you a thorough understanding of how best to coach the technique, strategy and mentality behind those aspects of the game.

Clinic Topics:

Saturday, April 24 – Serve, Pass and Team Serve Receive
An in-depth look into how to train your servers and passers. Six hours of on-court training will help you understand how to better teach the technique, mentality and strategy behind these game-winning skills.

Sunday, April 25 – Enhancing Your Offense and Team Culture
Dive into 10 key topics that have been hand-selected to immediately elevate your coaching. You’ll learn the secrets behind how our elite clinicians train excellence in their own programs, including 4 bonus classroom sessions. This clinic’s topics will focus on ways to enhance your team through both offense and team culture.

View the full list of topics that will be covered during both days of the clinic here.

April 24-25, 2021

Triangle Volleyball Club - Morrisville, NC

This clinic will be limiting the number of in-person attendees in order to minimize the health risk for all in attendance.

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?

AOC Premium members automatically receive a 10% discount on both in-person and virtual clinic tickets. For virtual tickets, no code is needed at checkout (just make sure you’re signed into your Premium account when purchasing). For in-person tickets, you can find your discount code in your account dashboard under My Discounts.

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?

When you purchase a clinic ticket, a receipt will be emailed to you stating the amount 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.

What is the refund policy?

In-person ticket refund policy: You can receive a 90% refund of your in-person ticket up until 48 hours before the day of the clinic. After the 48-hour mark, no refunds will be available. For example, if the clinic begins on April 4, you can request a refund up until the end of the day on April 1.

Virtual ticket refund policy: You can receive a full refund of your virtual ticket up until 24 hours before the day of the clinic. Refund requests after the 24 hour mark will not be granted.
