3. Club Philosophy
Xcel Athletes Volleyball Clubs strive to provide the best training possible so players can reach their top potential.  This is completed through the ability to balance respect and attention to detail with creating a culture that promotes rapport and communication between the players and coach.  This coaching style leads to a more dynamic winning environment in which the mutual respect between the player and coach allows for better growth through hard work and communication.

4. Elite Dedicated Training
What do we offer?
Elite Dedicated Training
Our practices are modeled from the principles of the USAV National Teams and High Performance training.
We focus on individual development as well as team development so every player will receive the same attention and dedication regardless of their initial ability. This in turn helps the team and the entire program as the old saying goes "you are only as strong as your weakest link".
All coaches are at a minimum IMPACT certified through USAV and have cleared State and Federal background checks.
Lead Coach Practices
A CAP (Coach Accreditation Program) trained coach will be at every practice and makes up the practice plans for each team. The lead coaches keep track of when the drills/activities
begin and end and ensures that all teams
receive the best training possible.

5. Club Benefits Continued
Video Evaluation
All of our players go through evaluation of their play in both practices and tournaments through video analysis. A coach can keep telling a player something that they are performing incorrectly a hundred times, but a video of that same player shown to them will make them understand it immediately. It is because of this that we offer both immediate video feedback (during practice) and video review of tournament play for the entire team.
Complete Statistical Analysis
Statistics are a vital tool that are used by both the coaches and the players to see what needs to be worked on. Each team’s coach will compile both individual and team statistics.

6. Club Benefits Continued
Player Evaluations
The coaching staff with the assistance of the lead coach will provide an initial, mid-term and final player evaluation to the player. The player will meet with the coach and go over the evaluation to ensure complete understanding of it as this is yet another tool used to maximize the players development.
Workout Program
Supervised workout programs consisting of plyometrics, core/stability training, speed/agility training, and upper/lower body weight lifting will be conducted (depending on team/age level).

7. What are Practices Like?
Our practices are comprised of high intense training methods that ensures athletes receive the most number of contacts while maximizing the game play component that has been proven to develop athletes the best.
Athletes participate in both positional training to focus on proper technique as well as team/component training to ensure that they are able to properly read a play and adapt to varying situations.

8. Club Rules Please make sure that BOTH parent and player initials each.
Fees are for membership into the club for the ENTIRE season.

We traditionally run a double wave practice to accommodate all teams so a traditional practice time slot will be either 4:15 – 7:00 PM or 7:15 – 10:00 PM.
* Players should plan to leave for practice straight from their school when school lets out. However, if this is not possible, and if a player lives 25+ minutes away from the practice facility, lenience will be given for those that get out of school after 3:00 PM. However, this must be communicated with the Club Director at the beginning of the season to give notice of what time school gets out.
