Our 3 Core Values below can be applied to any sport and drive both skill development and competitive growth.
1. Limit the number of players to NO MORE than 12 in the gym at 1 time. Most gyms have too many kids to achieve any kind of measureable improvement.
2. Provide strong fundamental instruction based on the game's primary skills. We build competitive habits through repetition and reinforcement of THESE SKILLS.
3. Weave into the instruction basic life skills that apply ON and OFF the court.
Sibling discounts for all Summer Camps: 12 player limit.
You may cross sports to achieve discount. Camp discounts must be sent in at the same time.

Coach Amy,
Just wanted you to know that Erin really likes the volleyball program after just the first night. Two of the other parents I talked to said their girls were happy with it too. From the way Erin talked, I think she got more out of Tuesday night than she got out of her entire winter club experience at another volleyball instructional/competitive organization.

Level 1: Basic introduction to the sport. Foot work, basic passing and setting skills, proper serving form. Level 1 is a great way to learn the sport and build the foundation for future play. Level 1 is not competitive.
Level 2: More advanced skill development and some level of competition. Players choosing Level 2 instruction should be comfortable and confident with the game's basic principles (taught in Level 1) of footwork in passing, setting, and hitting. In addition, Level 2 players should consistently be able to pass free balls to target, set a high ball outside, and serve the ball in bounds with proper form 80% of the time. In Level 2, players will be taken to the next level of volleyball, which includes but is not limited to, individual blocking/digging, attacking from all positions, pressure serving, team serve receive, setting and hitting strategies, and coach-led live play.
Level 3: Advanced and competitive volleyball. Players should have a keen understading of the game, it's timing, anticipation, movement and real awareness of the court and how the game flows. HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS please note: the resource you potentially have in Coach Matthews is phenomenal. Take advanatge of her experience and ability to teach. You will become a more complete, competitive volleyball player.
