OUR APPROACH
We believe that every player deserves a chance to meet their dreams! We believe that solid training fueled by passion can give the player a chance to be admitted to High School Team or Select Club team. In fact, 75% of our young athletes who participated in our Power League program made High School Teams this year!
We want your child to succeed and we offer a program that allows each player to learn, improve, and achieve! We pride ourselves in solid foundation training of core skills of passing and serving, progressing to more advanced techniques of setting, hitting, blocking and playing dedicated positions.
Our Power League Program is tailored to players’ levels to ensure steady growth of skills and confidence. Participation is Tryout-based but we do accept players for all skill levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced on co-ed, Girls only and Boys only teams.
