What teams are offered? 2018-2019 Club V Season At Club V, we offer several types of teams to accommodate the development of each player. Each player has different needs and our focus is to help them grow from where they are to where they want to be. We have several different levels of competition, each with a different focus. At all levels, the goal is to help each athlete progress by placing them where they can grow yet not feel overwhelmed. Everyone is at a different place in their development, however, we have the structure, training, and opportunities for athletes to grow as much as they want during a season.

Club V Training We are all about growth. Personal, team, coaches, parents, admin, you name it we want to be better than when we started. Fun for us is getting better setting a goal, working hard, and having a healthy pursuit to achieve it. Some have high lofty goals which require more time; others have goals that require less time. Whether you are committed to play for a top 10 college team or looking to make a Jr High School team your time and effort is up to you. However, our methods and training has produced over 300 Utah High School All State Players, over 20 All Americans, & over 200 that have or are playing in college. In 2017, every single 6A 1 st Team All State Player came from Club V. Why waste your time and money with anything but training that has a proven track record? This is what we do. We are eternal coaches, teachers, and mentors. A man was walking by 3 brick layers and asked each of them what they were doing. The first man replied, I am laying bricks. The second man replied, I am building a church. The third man replied, I am building a Church of God. We are not just teaching volleyball. We are not just building athletes. We are creating dynamic young men and women who will learn to work hard, accomplish goals, build confidence, be great teammates, learn discipline, and learn to be the best versions of themselves through the sport of volleyball. Athletes will learn to take ownership of their growth in all aspects of their lives. We exist to help athletes achieve. Developmental Training Sessions (DTS) New this year, we provide what is called our Developmental Training System (DTS). These are highly technical, high reps, high feedback training sessions that take place Monday Thursday, 3 Sessions a day with our very experienced, best coaches in the club. Training times are from 4-5:30, 6-7:30, 8-9:30. Each coach and court will have a different focus and athletes are able to choose what they would like to work on. For example, we would have a setting court where all of our setters would gets hundreds of reps setting the ball, focusing on specific techniques for that session. DTS sessions are designed to help athletes train in deliberate practice. We focus on player development at all levels using character based training to develop kids into better people, athletes, students, and players. As of August 31 st, 2018 we have sent over 200 girls and counting to play in college. These athletes come from all our 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, and 4 s teams. Why? College coaches need good people, athletes, students, and players and they look to the place where the athletes get that sort of attention and development. They need them to handle the intense rigor of being a collegiate student athlete. The Technical, Tactical, Physical, Mental, Character (TTPMC) Model We focus on the whole athlete. The game of volleyball and life requires a balanced approach to growth. If you only focus on technical training, you may not learn how to compete under pressure or deal with setbacks. If you only focus on tactical training (decision making), you won t be able to perform tactically what you can t do technically. We focus on developing players in each of the following ways: TECHNICAL TACTICAL CHARACTER PHYSICAL MENTAL 1.) Technical Training We work with college & Olympic coaches to teach the most current, correct technique. Our DTS training will be run by our top coaches to make sure players are getting cutting edge instruction. This will help athletes improve faster and more efficiently.
2.) Tactical Training Team practices will focus on tactical decision making and competition. Where to serve, who to set, where to hit, where to play defense. As players get better technically, they will learn how to make better tactical decisions. 3.) Physical Development We provide and hold the players accountable to eating healthy and doing the right workouts to help them increase their athleticism. We have workouts, Monday-Thursday, from 5:30-6pm and 7:30-8pm. Athletes are required to do the workouts! Volleyball is one of the most athletic sports and requires a great deal of athletic movement. Working out is imperative to becoming a great volleyball player (hence why every single college program works out) and why we have opportunities for athletes to workout each day if they want to. 4.) Mental Development We help athletes learn to focus & execute under pressure as well as teach them sports psychology principles that allows players to develop and progress faster. These will take place during our DTS sessions and workouts. 5.) Character Development At the core of all the training is an athlete s character. A character athlete is one whose behavior remains the same no matter the circumstance (ie. They do their best even when they are losing, they are supportive of their teammates when they are not playing, they work hard, are disciplined, etc ). We provide lessons and homework for the athletes to learn these life skills.

Teams are designed to introduce an athlete to competitive team volleyball and learn all the tactics (rotations, positions, etc ) that come with team play. Playing time and position are balanced between each player s need to learn a skill or position and that player s growth. This allows for every player to play part of every match, with play time close to being equally distributed. Competition provides the context for players to learn and develop. Club teams will lose more matches than other teams primarily because they are designed to emphasize development of players rather than emphasizing only winning. However, coaches will balance player s strengths and weaknesses for the team to have a stable level of performance. Thus, playing time and positions may not be perfectly distributed. The club development coaching strategy enables us to give play time to players who, if managed under the performance-based guidelines used by MP & Select, would not play in many matches. Club teams play a less demanding schedule to allow players to participate in school activities. Players who show a poor attendance record to practices should only expect to play in positions with an amount of playing time that benefits the team, not the individual. Tryouts Teams will be finalized for Club Teams right after the tryout. Players trying out for Club Teams who do not make a Club Team can be placed in the Academy. Team practices will begin on November 26 th. 1. What if I don t make a Club Team? You will be placed in the Academy. 2. I am not sure if I should try out for the Club Program because I don t know where I compare competitively. Try out anyway! There is no harm in trying out and trying to make the most competitive team possible. 3. What are some of the qualifications to making an Elite Team compared to a Club Team? At all levels, we always focus on skill development. However, Elite Teams require that certain skills be mastered in order to make teams competitive against other clubs. An athlete s ability to make an Elite Team is dependent on their ability to execute those skills in a competitive setting. 4. When would we practice? Either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. You can always attend your DTS session any day of the week. However, we recommend you attend with your team.
