The Directors of Advance Volleyball Program are very proud of their staff. These coaches were selected for many reasons. The first reason being their enthusiasm for sharing this great game of volleyball with young athletes. We feel that in order to promote the sport of volleyball, a love of the game has to come through in all aspects of training.
Secondly, they had to “buy in” to our methods and ideology. Advance Volleyball is setting a course to change the traditional thoughts of training athletes. Our coaches understand what we are trying to accomplish over the long term and are willing to adjust their thinking accordingly. They are committed to learning and applying our regimen as well as continuing to build their own skills through continued education and training.
Lastly, they were chosen because we feel they are upstanding people with good moral character. In today’s society our children are affected by so much negativity that we want to make sure that every aspect of our program is positive and beneficial. These coaches have shown that they conduct themselves in a way that will be a good example to the young athlete. All coaches considered by the Directors of Advance Volleyball fall under the same scrutiny listed above. In this way, Advance Volleyball will always be a place you as a parent, player, or coach can speak positively about and be proud to be a part of. |
