Speed and Strength Training
AVC has partnered with The Edge Sports performance Academy to conduct strength, agility and condition training for its athletes. National and Elite teams participate in this program at NO EXTRA COST. Regional and American teams or individuals can opt to participate at an additional cost that is discounted from the list price. The Edge offers training by professional trainers trained in physiology, sport mechanics, and conditioning. The certified trainers have developed a training program specific to volleyball and focused on increasing one’s vertical leap, court agility, nutrition, and injury prevention.
Volleyball Specific Challange Training
This program will develop greater levels of strength, conditioning, and agility for all participants above and beyond what they are currently receiving in their base training. Athletes will concentrate on developing their movement mechanics, balance, and explosiveness which is so crucial for successful on-court performance. The training is intentionally designed to be exhilarating, demanding and highly rewarding.
National and Elite Team Athletes
Speed and Strength training is included in the club fee for national and elite teams. Training sessions are conducted twice a week. Athletes complete a program designed for the volleyball athlete and focus on increasing vertical leap, court agility, and teamwork.
American and Regional Team Athletes
American and Regional teams can sign up for similar training as the National and Elite teams at an additional cost. AVC members get a 25% discount off the regular price from The Edge to participate in the speed strength programs.
Junior Volleyball College (JVC) Athletes
Agility training is included in the cost for the Junior Volleyball College.
