Superstars Merritt Beason, Allison Holder, and Morgan Stout to serve as instructors during the Supernovas’ inaugural Kearney clinics
OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha Supernovas, the world’s leading professional volleyball franchise, is excited to partner with Kearney SportsPlex to bring two All-Skills Clinics to the Kearney community and south-central Nebraska on Sunday, Nov. 23. The event is part of the Supernovas’ ongoing initiative to grow and inspire youth volleyball in Nebraska while creating opportunities for athletes to develop their skills, build confidence and connect with role models at the highest level.
Hosted at Kearney SportsPlex, Nebraska’s premier indoor sports destination, the Supernovas’ All-Skills Clinics will focus on technical development, competitive drills and game IQ, while providing youth athletes the unique chance to learn directly from professional volleyball players and coaches.
Former Nebraska All-American and current Supernovas opposite Merritt Beason, along with former Creighton libero Allison Holder, middle blocker Morgan Stout and assistant coach Thomas Robson, will serve as instructors for the two clinics.
The Mini Novas All-Skills Clinic for second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-grade athletes will run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by an autograph session from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The Middle School All-Skills Clinic will follow for seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade athletes from 2:30 to 4 p.m., with autographs for camp participants from 4 to 5 p.m.
