Duke City Volleyball Academy

which is why we call ourselves The Volleyball Academy. Our coaching philosophy is one of balance:
Life is not black-and-white, nor is volleyball. It is a balance. We strive for a goal of perfect ex*****on, balanced with the creativity to experiment and make mistakes along the way. We encourage drive and dedication, balanced with room for fun and freedom. We encourage our coaches to challenge themselves to strike a balance between the success of each player with the success of each team as a whole. We strive to learn, balanced with our desire to teach. Our system is how we enable our philosophies:
Fundamental skills and how those skills are employed on the court and during play will be taught to players and coaches with a consistent style. How to deal with “out of system” play, basic team strategies, and offensive and defensive systems will be provided as a guidance to coaches to implement based on team dynamics. And so coaches are encouraged to be creative with their strategies and implementations within the bounds of consistent fundamentals. To this end, we will implement a system that incorporates group training as well as individual and team coaching. During group training, coaches will learn consistent solid teaching fundamentals from other coaches, players will hear a consistent message from all coaches, and players will have the opportunity to learn from other players. Our goal is for a consistent foundation and creative play. During team practice our coaches take those fundamentals and build a successful team dynamic and strategy that works best for their players and teams.
