DYNASTY NEXT GEN
Dynasty Next Gen Programme
Dynasty Next Gen is a programme in Volleyball NZ's performance space. It is replacing the old NZ youth / u17 programme, by providing a high-quality programme to engage significant numbers of athletes and coaches into enjoyable and positive volleyball experiences. Each Dynasty Next Gen camp will focus on developing the skills and mindsets needed to be successful long term in volleyball. If you love the game of volleyball, are looking to grow your game or have ambitions of representing New Zealand and achieving your volleyball goals, this programme is for you.
The programme is targeted for all aspiring youth volleyball players using three pillars
Fun – Engagement in volleyball through enjoyable and positive experiences
Connection – Connection to other players, coaches and to the national pathway
Growth – Both athletes and coaches committing to their development, maximising their future potential
Delivery
The programme is delivered through four phases
Regional Beach Camps: between October - December
National Beach Camp: January
Regional Indoor Camps: April

Regional camps will be run over a two day period similar to current development camps with the intention of national camps being 3 days. Both camps will provide competitive opportunities, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and mental skills. Please note: Athletes will be able to attend other regions camps if they wish – although similar content will be covered if attending during the same phase.
