"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference." --Bear Bryant
Southwind Volleyball Club offers preeminent volleyball training in our exclusive
INTENSITY program. This highly-developed program meets twice a week for seven weeks duirng the summer. Athletes who attended INTENSITY
increase speed, agility, jumping ability, volleyball skills and build their mental game. Players will be introduced to game-like drills, as well as competition. INTENSITY is designed for the serious volleyball athlete. We ask that only dedicated, committed athletes register in this program.
This is the second 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 7 days, 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 sessions for club members who have not been extended an invitation. If these sessions are not full by March 31, 2010 they will then open to players outside of Southwind Volleyball Club.
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 (National session athletes can make up in either a National or Gold level session. Gold session athletes can make up sesions in other Gold level sessions). If you have questions concerning attendance please contact Rachel Magana at 913.515.7757 or email: rachelmagana@southwindvb.com
Athlete's will be presented with invitations starting the week of March 8th and continue until the sessions are full. Open registration for Southwind members beginning March 22nd.
