ENCOURAGEMENT , FUN, ACCOUNTABILITY

Our coaching philosophy is based on encouragement. We focus on the present and future, not on past mistakes, holding athletes accountable for effort. Fun, positive training creates a love for the game, leading to passionate daily practice and success in life. We emphasize structured, competitive play to develop skills, following the idea that "The Game Teaches the Game."

We train Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 2 hours (1.75 in winter), with a focus on fundamentals: strong passing, consistent serving, block/pull defense, and teaching athletes to read defenses during attacks. We incorporate math and geometry to teach strategy. Our drills are game-like, maximizing contacts, with score and reward, making practice fun and competitive.

In 13 years, we've produced many national and state champions. Of the 160 athletes in the 2014 CBVA Cal Cup state championships, 8% currently train with us, and 15% have trained with us. Our goal is for athletes to experience joy in the game, and grow as individuals.
