Everything you need to know about training at Villa del Mar in Marina del Rey.

How does VDM Rooftop Performance integrate with basketball skill training?

Every session at Marina del Rey is divided between indoor/court basketball skills and specialized rooftop conditioning. This dual structure ensures athletes improve their handles, shooting, and decision making while simultaneously building explosive vertical jump power, agility, and stamina.

What happens if my child misses a training session due to illness or travel?

We offer flexible makeup session options! Active members can make up missed sessions at any scheduled training block during the billing month, or utilize complementary session credits at Santa Monica with advance notification.

How do the 3-Month, 6-Month, and 12-Month Upfront Passes work?

When you select an Upfront Pass option at checkout, you pay for your commitment tier in full upfront and receive guaranteed savings: 10% off for 3-Month passes, 15% off for 6-Month passes, and 20% off for 12-Month passes compared to month-to-month pricing.

Which division should I enroll my child in?

Our Youth Division is tailored for players ages 9-11 focused on core fundamentals and coordination. The Middle School Division is designed for players ages 12-14 preparing for high school basketball. If you are unsure, our head coach will evaluate your athlete during their first session.
