The program continues to produce nationally competitive teams and college-bound athletes and trains and develops some of the best junior volleyball players in the Puget Sound area year after year. Hundreds of former players have gone on to play in college, several former players are Collegiate All-Americans, a former player was a member of Team USA, and a handful of former players have gone on to play professional volleyball overseas or on the pro beach circuit. The leadership team includes founder Janice Kirk.
The program’s driving mission is to raise the level of competitive volleyball in the region, and it strives to qualify its teams to compete in the Junior National Championships held in late June–early July at various locations in the U.S. It contributes greatly to the promotion and development of volleyball in the Puget Sound Region. The program notes that over 2,500 colleges and universities sponsor volleyball teams for women, and many of these schools offer partial and/or full athletic scholarships to help defray the cost of higher education. The program also states that a competitive, team-oriented, and athletic experience can enhance social development, instill a good work ethic, contribute to mental and physical health and teach values of personal responsibility, goal setting, self-discipline, and self-motivation.
