It's not enough to have the desire... the question is; do you have the commitment?!
Southwind Volleyball Club offers preeminent volleyball training in the
INTENSITY program. Athletes meet for 7 weeks, twice a week, for volleyball
training and conditioning in strength speed, and agility while working
on their "mental" game. Former athletes who attended INTENSITY
have increased speed, jumping ability, and volleyball skills.
This is the first year Southwind has offered this training program by invitation only. As we strive to develop an elite level club producing national athletes, we have made a commitment to our club players by giving them the first opportunity to take advantage of this intense training program. If an invited athlete declines our offer, another offer will be extended to another member of the club or potential member of the club. Players are given 2 weeks, after an invitation is extended, to commit to the program. Otherwise, their position is offered to another athlete.
Southwind is committed not only to the development of their athletes but also to the development of the sport, we have offered two sessions to club members who have not been extended an invitation. If these sessions are not full by March 1, 2008 they will then open to players outside of Southwind Volleyball Tribe.
For players who will miss some sessions due to other summer activities they will be allowed to make up their time by attending another session either the week before they leave or return from missing. If you have questions concerning attendance please contact Rachel Magana at 913.515.7757 or email: rachelmagana@hotmail.com
Athlete's will be presented with invitations starting the week of February 4th and continue until the sessions are full. Flyer and registration forms will be posted for all by February 15th.
Emphasis for the 3rd thru 6th graders: Fundamental skills will be covered during this session with an emphasis on passing and serving. Players will also be introduced to game-like drills as well as competition.
Emphasis for the 7th & 8th graders: Players at this level will work on fundamental skills with an emphasis on more advanced aspects of the game. We will work with players in their specialized positions to increase their skills in blocking, hitting, setting, and defensive movements.
Emphasis for the 9th thru 12th graders: While players continue to work on fundamental skills we will work towards developing a better understanding of the game. Players will learn various offensive and defensive systems and strategies that are involved in the game. Players will be trained in faster offensive systems and learn how to defend highly effective offenses.
All players will be trained and conditioned in strength, speed, and agility. Athletes will also be introduced to “mental” aspects of competition.
