Vegas Volleyball Players Learn How To Make Varsity 

It's true. You can improve your volleyball game performance.


If you are a high school or middle school player looking to make your school team, whether JV or varsity...you've come to the right place!

Got goals? 

• Having problems with serving the ball over the net?
• Need to learn how to pass the ball up to the setter more consistently?
• Need to learn defensive skills so you can be a libero?
• Can you hit the ball in the court yet?

April Chapple and the City of Las Vegas were awarded the 2018 NRPS (Nevada Recreation and Park Society) Best Sports Program award for the Volleyball Voice Boot Camp Classes program on April 17, 2018.

Got bigger goals?

• Trying to make a USA Volleyball High Performance team? If so, then you'll need to learn more tactics to control the speed of the game
• Working to possibly earn a volleyball scholarship for college?  Then your serving and passing game needs to be tight
• Already on varsity and are you trying to make your starting team? Then understanding how to block smarter is definitely going to help you

You've come to the right place to find the answers to learning how to improve your volleyball game.
