FAQ:

I missed the first week, can I still attend week x? Yes, any week is a good week to learn and practice.

I am taking another beginner's volleyball class; can I attend this one? Yes

I am more advanced than a beginner; can I attend week x? Yes, come and practice at whatever you are weak in.

Can I bring a friend? Yes

Can I come even if I don't have a ball? Yes, but we do recommend a ball so you can use it while you are here, and you can also practice with your ball.

Why is it called 10x instead of 101? Every time we teach a cycle of 5 weeks, we rename the class to 10x+1 to keep track of how many classes the host has done this year. Resets every year.
