Power Family,

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

We are heading into the busy part of the club season with tournaments quickly approaching. Our athletes have worked hard during practices over the last two months in preparation and they are ready to compete!

Often we think about success in sports as the number of wins your team has or your team’s ranking within NTR. While that’s a primary and perhaps most well-known measure of success for youth sports, success is not just measured in wins, medals and trophies; there are other important factors to consider when assessing the success of your daughter's team.

We view success not solely by the wins and losses, but by the lessons learned, the development of each athlete and team over time, and the attitude, energy, and effort each athlete displays during practices and competition.

Part of the joy of watching your daughter play club is seeing her learn to overcome adversity and challenges as part of a team. She will learn to view losses not as failures but as opportunities to grow. She will learn to celebrate successes and how to win and lose with good sportsmanship.

We are extremely grateful for each family and athlete that chose to play with POWER this season.

POWER UP!!!

Tony and Chris

Power Volleyball Hotels and Flights for Travel Tournaments Policy
 
Hotels
Many have asked what the options are for travel tournaments. Here is our stance.
 
Power will secure a room block through the tournament housing agency to ensure we are meeting the requirements needed to enter the tournament. Each family attending the tournament is highly encouraged to book a room within the club block. If your family cannot meet these requirements please reach out to the directors as soon as possible.
 
As part of our player development we strongly believe and highly encourage all players stay as a team when they are at a travel tournament. You will find the teams that are the most successful and that compete at the National level have team chemistry and have developed a team concept. This is also becoming an important characteristic coaches at the next level are looking for in recruiting players. We want to make sure our athletes are fully prepared in all aspects of the game. We do understand that this may cause an additional cost for our families who travel to tournaments but it is one that has value in the development of their daughter.
 
Please stay in constant communication with your coaches and club directors regarding your families plans on hotels.
 
All players must secure transportation to all tournament locations. Players must arrive to the hotel by the specified time and attend all team meetings. Players must also remember to bring meal money when attending tournaments.
 
 
Flights
We ask that all athletes arrive the day before competition, and depart no earlier than 5:00 PM on the last day of the tournament.
Private Lessons

Power believes in offering our athletes every opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge of volleyball. One such way is to participate in private lessons. “Privates” are a great way for individual attention to be given to your athlete to focus on a particular skill or aspect of volleyball. If you prefer a more one-on-one environment or maybe a small group (2-3 kids), privates lessons with our experienced coaching staff is the best option for this. During a private lesson the parents will be responsible for the court fee (generally $55-65)+ coaches fees ($25-$35).

If interested please reach out to our coaching staff here: http://powervolleyballclub.us/private-lessons/
