Club Program

Club Volleyball is an opportunity for athletes to extend their high school volleyball season, play at a higher level, travel to compete, make new friends, and learn new techniques on an organized level.

Rockford Volleyball club has the philosophy of "Athletes First-Winning Second". Winning is important, but teaching life lessons to kids is more important. we are not a 'Win-at-all-cost" club; the well-being of the child is most important.

Rockford Volleyball Club will offer an innovative training opportunity for athletes in 2008 as the club continues to build a competitive volleyball program.

   ●    Small team size (8 players) giving all players opportunity for ample playing time and an 8:1 player:coach ratio.
  ●    Performance Training with Top Performers certified strength trainers
        (14's & older)
  ●    Competitive opportunities to be selected for teams which will compete in Great Lakes Regional Qualifier tournaments.
  ●    Competitive opportunities to be selected for teams which will compete in National Qualifiers
  ●    Opportunities to train with higher level players even though you may choose to play other school sports an dare unable to participate in travel tournaments (Qualifiers)

Here's how it works...

ATHLETES ATTEND TRYOUTS
The top 16 players in each age range will be selected per training squad. The training squad is designed to create a competitive training environment where athletes are pushed to their potentials to perform at their highest levels.

Each training squad will be registered as two teams. This will allow for plenty of playing time for all members of the squad. This will also allow for more "flow" between the two teams in the squad. if a player is working hard and improving, she has a chance to earn a spot on the stronger team of the squad. Each of the two teams will be entered in home tournaments and Power League. One head coach and one assistant coach will be assigned to each training squad.

Out of each training squad, only one team will be selected to go to Regionals and Qualifier(s). Fees for these tournaments are over and above the basic fee charged for dues. Regional and Qualifier teams will be selected based on player availability, practice effort, positions needed, and prompt payment of tournament fee. Maximum number of 12 players may be selected for these travel events. The Head coach may decide to select fewer than 12 players.

Top athletes who play other school sports may be part of training squads. If these players cannot commit to playing qualifiers, they are still able to train with the best volleyball players in the area.

Included in the basic dues for squads 14 and older are 24 strength and performance training sessions with Top Performers-Sports Performance Training. Their goal is to help teams enhance players' performance by: Integrating speed technique, first step explosion and multi-directional quickness in a functional and sport-specific setting, to improve speed and performance on the playing field, and bring conditioning and speed to the next level to win championships. Squads will train with Top Performers twice weekly for 45 minute sessions. Athletes will improve their: Explosiveness, Speed, Quickness, Agility, Core strength, Conditioning, Balance, Injury Prevention, Flexibility and Biomechanical efficiency.
