ABOUT VBPREP-

VBprep offers beginner and enhancement volleyball training.  I try to cover all aspects of the game so that your child will be prepared for competative volleyball or more experienced if they already play competatively.  Most of our students are 10 to 16 years of age, but are not limited to this range.  


VBprep sessions will allow your child to have the opportunity to improve their skills in any position.  This is a great chance for them to try front row or back row playing if they have not had a chance to in school or club.  

VBprep sessions will also help warm your child's skills back up before tryouts.  Don't be caught cold and out of shape. Keep your skills keen and alert.

We have several session sets available to improve your volleyball player's skills.  Each session will be one hour long and only consist of four students max for each set skill. These sessions are semi-private meaning there are a limited amount of participates so that your player gets one on one training but at an affordable rate and without over exhausting themselves.  I find this to be the best way to train.

For our beginner all-skills course I have set a maximum of six girls, this will allow us to do real life scrimmage training and transition training. 

I will be giving one on one instruction and teaching to each student. These lessons will focus on the individuals abilities and limitations. No player is the same so each is coached differently to maximize their performance growth. 

During your session your child may be given homework assignments to work on to better improve their skills.  You will also be receiving newsletters from me with updates on your childs performance, a status report.  I will also be able to tell you the best placement for your child on the court at that time and also my recommendations for further actions (training,tryouts,workouts).  I try to keep the parents as informed as I can.  

 In the summer VBprep will be offering youth and adult outdoor sand volleyball leagues.   All I can say is the more volleyball the better. 



ABOUT COACH BRE-   

        I have played volleyball most of my life.  I am very tall, so for the majority of that time I was a middle blocker/attacker.  In the past 16 years of playing, I have played every position; including setting.  I have played almost every level of volleyball, including competitive adult leagues, college, club volleyball, varsity, junior varsity, freshman team, and recreation leagues. For the past five years I have been giving individual instruction.  I have coached students from the ages of 11 to 45.  
    In the fall of 2008 I decided to create Southern Elite Volleyball club.  For our introductory year we had five junior teams. For our second year we have 8 teams, check them out at www.southernelitevbc.com . Already in our first half of our season we have medaled over 24 times!! 
     I have also taken an active role in the developement of the Belton parks volleyball program and created the competitive rec. volleyball season offered in the spring.  We will continue to offer this comp rec. program this spring, please contact Belton Parks and rec for more information or to sign up 816-348-7400.
    In the fallof 2009 I coached the Junior Varsity volleyball team at Raytown High school, and this year (2010) I will be their Head Varsity Coach. 
        VBprep has now had 7 official groups of sessions and I have trained over 200 students since May 2008.  If you would like a free evaluation of your player's skills to see where we can best place them, please let me know and we will set up a meeting.
