ambition is the first step towards
SUCCESS
The goal of SWAT Volleyball Club is to strengthen the skills of our players while building character and emphasizing exemplary sportsmanship
What makes SWAT unique?
-Our coaches teach and coach in a positive manner, aiming to please God with their actions. Our coaches will not use profanity or yell at the players. Our coaches will love on your daughters - they will attempt to build the confidence of each girl.
-Our practices are FUN! Our players love coming to practice. We play a lot of "game like" drills because we believe the game teaches the game. We try to avoid drills where girls just stand in long lines.
-We try to keep travel to a minimum. We look to play all of our tournaments within a 2 hour drive.
-Play with your friends! Sign up together! If you have a team of players but need a coach and a gym, contact us as we may be able to accommodate you.

TESTIMONIALS
"I played club volleyball for four years before I came to SWAT. Every experience I had prior to SWAT was very unpleasant and I was even contemplating quitting club volleyball. Luckily, I decided to go to an open gym for SWAT and that was when I realized what a club team is supposed to be like. The girls I met were unbelievably welcoming and kind, and the coaches were supportive and always held me to a very high standard. This will be my third year playing for SWAT and I truly would never want to play anywhere else. The coaches are phenomenal and the people I met are now some of my best friends; it is incredible" - Emma E, Player
"We really enjoyed playing for SWAT. We loved the fact that it wasn’t a club that was too big for our daughter, as we were afraid she’d get “lost in the mix.” SWAT was the perfect club size and had a family feel to it. Because of this family feel, my daughter made some really good friends while playing for SWAT, which was one of the most important factors when deciding on a Club Program" - Joe F, Parent
