Every months we can surprise them with giving an award be cause of their skills
10-Education
Education must be our priority instead of sport and we have to check their marks at school and encourage them(if they can be educated player ,it is better than being uneducated player)
11-Festivals
After 3 months we have to implement permanent festivals between academies or make a league between them
12-Tactics and unique skills
After 12-15 months we have to separate players according their ability and height and skills(setter-middle blocker-libero-outside spiker-opposite) and focus on their tactics according these abilities:
Height of action above net
Perfection of skills
Velocity and variety of play
13-Farm system
After 24 months we can mix teenagers with youth group(at least 2 or 3 years older to develop them)
14-Tryout
During farm system we can chose the best players between academies to invite to youth national volleyball team and make a camp in federation (day by day we can chose the final team to take part in every tournament
according these priorities:
Libero:1-Serve reception 2-Digging 3-Translation pass
Setter:1-Perfect set with good quality 2-Blocking 3-Serve 4-digging
Outside Spiker:1-Serve receiving 2-Attacking 3-Translation attack 4-blocking 5-serve 6-digging

15-Make a team
After tryout, according above condition and abilities we can select the best players between academies , and make a team to take part in junior or adult league .It is the best way to make coordination between selected players. After that players have enough experiences to take part in tournaments like youth world championship except any stress.
Notic1-
Every months we must check all the academies and players and coaches
Notice2-
All the academies must have equipment (ball-step-elastic bands-hoop-whiteboard–medicine ball)
Notice3-
In 2005 I started it in TEHRAN and every years I had 2 players who got invited to IRAN youth national volleyball team
Notice4-
We must not focus just on the height , be cause some of them are late mature and they will be taller than other but late. In this condition we must check their generation.
