Our mission is to develop the Skill and Knowledge of today's Youth. We do this by priding ourselves on being a training program first and foremost. We take a targeted approach to teaching the skills and fundamentals of the game of volleyball. We believe in developing the entire athlete and helping them not only become more skillful in the game of volleyball but also become stronger, faster, and more explosive athletes. We believe in being highly competitive in everything we do, from competing at practice, in trainings, and in tournaments.

We will be offering competitive teams that will play in top tournaments against top competition. Our National level teams (SKY Elite Black) can expect to play in 6-8 tournaments and will be placed in some of the top tournaments in the region/country to ensure college visibility.  We understand that for many of our athletes it will be a high priority to be seen by college coaches therefore, we will aim to aid and assist any athlete looking for college recruiting help.  

We will also offer American level teams (SKY Elite Gold) who will still aim to compete at a high level, but will play in more local tournaments at the American level. These teams can still expect to play in 6-8 tournaments and will have the same training schedule as our National teams. As well we offer Regional teams (SKY Elite White) who will compete at the Regional level and will benefit from the same training and practice schedule as both the National and American level teams.

SKY athletes will benefit from 3 days per week of practice/training. Each athlete will have 2 days of team practice each week. We will run skill clinics biweekly. Our skill day breaks each athlete up by position, to hone in on their individual skillset.  We also provide one day per week of Performance Training focusing on developing the athlete's vertical/lateral jumping ability, as well as developing overall strength, injury prevention, and explosive power.

Our Sports Performance Program is run by Dakota Conwell and Kolby Smith. Both are certified strength and conditioning coaches. Our performance program will mesh together high-level jump training concepts with volleyball-specific drills to help our athletes become the most effective athletes they can be.

Our number 1 rule is "Positive Vibes Only" we believe that your club experience should be a positive one and we hold all players, parents, coaches, and staff accountable to this. While correcting bad habits is something we will do, we promise to always conduct ourselves in a positive manner to help get the most out of our athletes and uplift their confidence.

We are excited about this season and the coaching staff that we have assembled. If you have any questions regarding our club program, please reach out to skyelitevolleyball@gmail.com
