CLUB PHILOSOPHY

Our commitment is to the individual athlete and the team. Winning is a great by-product of a great program with dedicated players, coaches and parents. We will produce a winning program through the hard work of all three groups. In the end, winning must be left up to the athletes. Coaches and parents cannot win the game, so once the whistle blows for serve, it is the players have to take the court and win the day. The self-esteem and confidence of every player will be maintained at all times. Players, coaches and parents will NEVER demean any athlete in this program. Winning programs have winners for players, coaches and parents. A program with high self-esteem is a winning program, regardless of the score.

Commitment
The coaches are committed to teaching and preparing athletes for success. The coaches will give 100% attention to ensuring every player is receiving the coaching needed to learn. Players are committed to showing up ready and eager to learn. Players commit to becoming an important part of a winning team through hard work and dedication.

Communication
The most important learning environment is one, in which everyone is listening and understanding. Our team environment will stress positive, open and honest dialogue. Players are expected to demand to be taught the proper skills. Coaches should expect players to come eager to learn. The coaches will not waste your time; do not waste theirs

Initiative
Players are expected to want to learn to play volleyball. Show up ready to work hard. Go hard or go home. You owe it to yourself and your team. Practice makes permanent. Teams that practice tough, play tough. If you do not leave tired, you probably were not going all out. Process accelerates. Our program methodology consistently produces higher caliber players in a shorter period.

Coaching Style
All our coaching staff participates in continuous education and certification programs provided by USVA and other entities. Our program is based on the coaches demonstrating the skills, answering questions, and then asking the athletes to perform the skills. We will spend the first practices teaching the athletes how to listen and absorb the coaching and how to take responsibility for applying the coaching they are receiving. Our style of coaching will require listening and paying attention for long stretches of time. This is initially very difficult. However, one the player is paying attention, the learning process accelerates. Our program methodology consistently produces higher caliber players in a shorter period.
