Club Philosophy

SIMPLIFIED APPROACH:
We employ a training system that has been developed to simplify volleyball fundamentals.  This includes simple skill keys and teaching our athletes to use efficient and repeatable movement patterns designed by some of the most successful volleyball coaches in the world.  This approach is closely aligned with many of the collegiate strategies and is even used at the professional and National levels.  Additionally, we are the only club in Michigan with consistent coaching techniques on all courts.  Our consistent and simplified approach begins at the youngest levels and transitions into our highest level training.


POSITIVE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT:
We believe that the best way to motivate our athletes is to care about them.  Our gyms are full of compassionate coaches that create a safe and energetic learning environment.  Encouraging athletes with positive reinforcement helps them hear and heed the necessary corrections to become better volleyball players. With a combination of truthful, specific praise and constructive criticism, our athletes improve at a faster rate and, in the process, develop a deep connection with the game of volleyball and strong relationships with their teammates.


BETTER PEOPLE MAKE BETTER TEAMMATES:
In addition to skill training, we focus on character attributes like teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, discipline, integrity, respect, and leadership that round out player development.  In addition to talent, today’s college coaches also consider intangible positive character qualities in the recruiting process.  The majority of all athletes will eventually go on to jobs outside of playing sports.  Our goal is to develop skills that increase the chances of success in both volleyball and life.
