Kokoro Volleyball is pleased to once again offer a fall team program for the 2024 season. This team program consists of a combination of skill training and competition. Our team program is the perfect addition to your grade school or intermediate school season! The Kokoro Staff will train and improve each of your skills so you have the best opportunity to achieve your goals this fall season. Each team member will participate in up to 32 hours of instruction!
Our instruction and the coaches implementing the training set us apart from other clubs in the Twin Cities. Athletes on each of our fall teams will not only learn foundational technical skills but also implement systems of play and serve receive patterns.
All athletes, from beginners in 4th/5th grade through advanced athletes in ANY grade that are not participating in their 10th grade, B squad, JV or Varsity High School Program in the fall, are eligible to grow with us: Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Fall ETS
August-October 2024
Fees must be paid in full to ETS at time of sign-up
The ETS Total Performance Program focuses on linear and lateral speed development, relative strength, deceleration mastery, injury prevention, and fucuses on maximum effort strength + power development training for athletes to establish a foundation for athletic success.
Registration is open to Fall League athletes and siblings. 60 minute sessions are Monday-Friday, up to 4 sessions per week. You are able to sign up for sessions when you register and pay through the ETS website.
Refund/Cancellation Policy
Kokoro Volleyball reserves the right to not provide any refunds to athletes/families that remove themselves from summer camp, lessons, summer and fall league after programming has begun.
With the high level of interest in all programs, we often are turning athletes/families away to hold a spot for registered athletes. Due to this, others have lost opportunities to train with us.
We will always put forth effort to replace an athlete that requests to drop from our programming in which case we would offer a prorated refund determined by the amount of time athlete/family utilized services plus an administration fee. Again, this would only be in the circumstance in which we find an athlete to replace you.
