Regional Boys' Teams

HIGH PERFORMANCE - STL REGIONAL BOYS' 15s - 18s program provides high school age boys the same training as travel teams with less demanding cost, practice time, and travel. The program starts in October and ends before the high school season starts in late February and features seven local tournaments.

THE PROGRAM: trains all players in the basic fundamentals of volleyball, in the advanced skills and techniques appropriate to their positions, and in advanced team offensive and defensive schemes. Players and families who seek High Performance - STL quality training but who require a lower cost, less practice time, or no travel, will find this program to their liking. Teams in this program practice one or two days a week and will not travel outside of the St. Louis metropolitan area for tournaments. While this program demands significantly less than a travel team in terms of practice time and travel time, it still provides the same quality instruction and demands an appropriate level of commitment from the players.

OUR FOCUS: is to provide players the best training possible without the same demands of money, time, and travel. Coaches focus on providing the instruction and practice experiences that will equip players to play on travel teams in the future (should they desire to do so) as well as make greater contributions on their high school teams. Coaches also teach the same life lessons that are a hallmark of the High Performance-STL program.
