The Legacy difference:
You know what we have, that other clubs don't?
Coaches who are trained to work directly with children on a day-to-day basis;
Coaches who are teachers, school counselors or behavioral specialists, who know how to connect with children and how to structure a practice, redirect attention and handle adversity when necessary. And, that makes a difference!
Our knowledgeable and ethical coaching staff uses a rational and straightforward approach to develop competitive teams and strong players, preparing them for the next level of their volleyball careers.
The coaches are hand chosen for their experience and dynamic coaching styles. Practices are fast-paced and mimic game situations.
Small enough to give each team and player the time and attention they need.
Big enough for everything you want.
