What is TPV's philosophy regarding the club season?
TPV will always put our focus on TRAINING first. We know that what we can do in our OWN GYM is far more important and valuable for the long-term development of the volleyball athlete. If a club is promising you more results with less work, they are misleading you! There is no substitute for high level training that forces player to develop muscle memory while performing skills at a high level. The only way to achieve that is through years of hard work. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS.
It's for these reasons that we focus on player development and training through ALL our programs. Regardless of age or team, EVERY ATHLETE will be treated the same and be given the same technical instruction.
