2007 High Performance Program Overview

The mission of the CEVA's High Performance Program is to increase the level of competition by providing additional training opportunities for our coaches and athletes by following the USA Volleyball National Team's training philosophies. Also, to identify, train, and assist our top coaches and athletes in preparation to enter the Pipeline to the National Teams.

2004 was our first year of this program. We sent one Youth Regional team to Austin, Texas to compete in the U.S. High Performance Championships (formerly known as VolleyClassic). In 2005, our program grew to three teams and we sent a Junior Regional Team and a Youth Regional Team  to compete in the Junior Global Challenge in Salt Lake City, Utah and one Select Regional Team to the U.S. High Performance Championships in Austin, Texas. In 2006 we sent our Junior Regional team to Europe to compete in the Junior Global Challenge.

2007 will mark our 3rd spring training camp to further develop our coaches and athletes. The player camp and coaches clinic will be led by John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Grass Roots and Erikka Gulbranson, U.S. Junior National Team Assistant Coach. This year, our goal is to send one Junior and Youth Regional Team to compete in the Junior Global Challenge in Salt Lake City, Utah. We would also like to send one Select Team to the U.S. High Performance Championship in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
