  3. Holistic Development: BYOP® focuses on skill development and the holistic growth of young athletes. It promotes values such as teamwork, discipline, communication, and responsibility.
  4. Inclusivity: The program is often inclusive, allowing parents with varying levels of volleyball knowledge to participate. It is accessible to parents who may not have played volleyball before.
  5. Long-Term Benefits: BYOP® is about short-term skill improvement and instilling a lifelong love for the sport and physical activity. It encourages a healthy and active lifestyle for both parents and children.
  6. Personalized Approach: BYOP® recognizes that each child is unique, and parents are encouraged to work with their child in a way that best suits their needs and abilities.
  7. Empowerment: BYOP® empowers parents to participate in their child's athletic journey actively. It helps parents understand the sport's nuances, which can lead to better support and guidance.
  8. Fun and Positive Environment: The program often creates a fun and positive atmosphere, which is essential for the enjoyment of the sport and the development of young athletes.
  9. Community Building: BYOP® programs often create a sense of community among parents and players, fostering connections and friendships beyond the volleyball court.
  10. Life Skills: In addition to volleyball skills, BYOP® may also emphasize developing life skills such as time management, goal setting, and perseverance.
Overall, BYOP® stands out as a program that recognizes the importance of the parent-child relationship in youth sports and leverages it to create a supportive, educational, and enjoyable environment for both parents and young athletes.

ALL Volleyball Programs Are Not Equal for Ages 10 and Under!

WHAT SEPARATES THE BRING YOUR OWN PARENT (BYOP®) PROGRAM FROM OTHER YOUTH VOLLEYBALL PROGRAMS?  Its mission, methods, program and certification of instructors to ensure the consistency in approach for training youth players.

Picture
The MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE BRING YOUR OWN PARENT (BYOP®) program is to provide youth who aspire to be the best they can be with the necessary volleyball skills and life lessons to reach their capabilities. This is a FUN Program to be involved with, and it provides the opportunity to instruct young athletes. The BYOP® program may be a player’s and/or parent’s first venture into the sport. Therefore, we want to make it an awesome and enjoyable learning experience for both players and parents as they learn sound fundamental skills, efficient and effective footwork and basic game strategies.  One of the greatest values of the BYOP® program is that it opens doors for young volleyball players and inspires them to pursue options they never knew existed!

Picture
NELSON TEACHING METHODS.  There are many youth programs; however, there is none that is as unique as the BYOP® program. What separate this program from others are the Nelson Teaching Methods and the Program’s design.  BYOP® Program Founder Ruth N. Nelson has worked with this age group for over 17 years. The program’s success has been achieved because of the methods Ruth has developed, field-tested and utilized in conducting the program. She has established key words for consistency of training and identified modifications needed for teaching youth volleyball, including:
            - size and weight of ball,
            - height of net and size of court,
            - efficient and effective movement patterns,
            - learning progressions for different age groups,
            - engaging parents,
            - and developing players.
Notable BYOP® participants who have gone on to play major Division I volleyball include, but are not limited to, Ebony Nwanebu (University of Texas, All American); Mary Kate Marshall (Oregon State, All American); Scout Wonsang (Alabama State University, All Conference).

CERTIFIED PROGRAM.  The first certification programs were created to meet the needs of elementary schools and their families. These programs were locally driven so that a player would have time with their family, time for learning the sport and time for learning the skills, which were anatomically correct and biomechanically sound. In essence, players were having FUN and enjoying a sport by demonstrating safe skills, developing good habits, experiencing the necessary modifications for youth volleyball and learning life lessons.

Learning and communication are continued beyond the practical training. The Official BYOP® website: www.bringyourownparent.com continues to provide families current information about the program as well what and when these programs are offered. There are videos and much more…there is a listing of nearby Certified BYOP® Instructors and mentors who have received their certification of completion of the Online BYOP® 101 Course.
