MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Delaware United Volleyball Club, DUVBC, is to support and encourage our athletes and coaches in their pursuit or excellence in volleyball.  DUVBC strives to teach players the value of teamwork, responsibility, self-discipline and leadership so that every athlete has the opportunity to be the best they can be on and off the volleyball court.

GOALS

• To focus on developing players for their high school and college careers 
• To provide a high level of technical training for players on three levels: Body, Mind & Heart
• To encourage each player to be a Universal Volleyball Player, ensuring all players understand and are capable of all aspects of volleyball
• To expose athletes to collegiate volleyball programs through recruiting efforts

PHILOSOPHY

The coaches at DUVBC emphasize development of the long-term athlete and work individually with each athlete to determine and develop their long-term goals. A holistic approach is taken with our training, and we strive to train for not only the physical aspects of the game but mental aspects as well. We do this through programs such as Excellence Through Athletics as well as strengthening and conditioning sessions.

DUVBC is focused on making each athlete the best volleyball player they can be. Our players have lots of practice opportunities through extra practice sessions with the director and our open practice policy. In practices coaches concentrate on maximum number of touches of the ball and “training ugly” using game-like situations. 

For players looking to further their volleyball career into college and beyond, DUVBC will utilize their many relationships with college coaches as well as the latest technology in recruiting software to help DUVBC players maximize their exposure to D1, D2 and D3 colleges.
