Private and Small Group Lesson Information

The winning combination of a knowledgeable, professional staff and a dedicated state-of-the-art volleyball facility makes Triangle the premier source for volleyball training in the area.  With a wealth of coaching experience at all levels [prep, collegiate, professional] our coaching staff is able to instruct student-athletes in an individual or group setting on all aspects of volleyball and positional expertise.


Private Lesson Statement

Participation in private lessons at Triangle Volleyball Club with one of our staff members is optional and represents one manner to accomplish volleyball skill development. Private lessons, however, should not be viewed as a necessity or as the only effective training method to achieve success on the court.

The following guidelines are in place to provide your child with the environment most conducive to learning and growth:

  • Private Lessons are NOT used by Triangle or its coaching staff as an evaluation tool for team selection and will NOT be used to determine an athlete’s team placement for next season.
  • Triangle staff members given the privilege of conducting private lessons are not permitted to discuss potential team placement with student-athletes, parents, or other coaches.
  • Parents are not permitted on court, at any time. There are natural and beneficial breaks that must occur during lessons to clean up the court, move equipment, or get water. Those responsibilities will be handled by the coach and athlete(s).

Any questions regarding our policies related to Private Lessons should be directed to [email protected]


Pricing & Fees

tiered scale has been established for both private and small group instructor fees.  The scale is based on a one-hour session and consists of several factors including playing and coaching experience, years on staff at Triangle, etc.  The scale differs for current Triangle club team members and non-members.  

Instructors work as independent contractors for private lessons.  Payment is made directly to the instructor for total which includes the court rental fee.  Credit card payment is not allowed; Cash or check only.  

How to Arrange Lessons

  1. Review the coaching staff list. 
  2. Select instructor(s) considering such things as skill area of interest, availability, and cost.  
  3. Contact instructor via email.  
  4. Instructor is responsible for arranging court time which is available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Priority court time is given to Triangle programming and events.  

Schedule considerations: Coaches should request gym time from the private lessons scheduler NO LESS than 24 hours in advance. Lesser notice may result in the lesson being denied and, if granted, will result in a $10 late request fee.

Cancellation Policy: Once a private lesson has been arranged, 24 hours notice is required for cancellation.  Failure to do so obligates customer to all lesson and court fees.
