INTRODUCING GENESIS ACADEMY

ADVANCED SKILL TRAINING

Experience the highest level and style of volleyball training. Don't limit your growth to the "lowest common denominator" of where the weaker players in your grade are training at. Compete and push yourself towards maximum growth possible.

Genesis Academy, led by Academy Director Jared Ray, is focused on hypertechnical training and microadjustments to take your already-strong skills to the next level.

HIGH CALIBER COMPETITION

The program is designed for small-group, high-performance. To maintain this, for the first time at Genesis Athletics, we are preselecting entrants. Athletes cannot register for the program, but instead are encouraged to submit an application.

Applications close on September 15th, and invitations to register will be sent out on September 17th.

GUEST COACHES & EXTRAS

In addition to an amazing Academy Director & core coach, we will be hosting a number of additional coaches from our club and outside as well. One exciting addition is USport coaches that we have coming up to train our coaches, and Academy athletes will be able to be involved in these as well.

Genesis Academy athletes will be able to participate in training events with four different USport coaches.
