It is the Club’s firm belief that the winning, in all aspects of volleyball and life, will be taken care of in due course if the athlete’s well being is the focus

The principal philosophy behind the creation of the St. Louis Elite Volleyball Club is a shared vision of the founding members.  This vision is to offer a unique training and educational opportunity, which appeal to both the competitive athletes and coaches who share an interest in competitive volleyball as well as mutual respect for each other’s learning and teaching abilities.  The most important part of this philosophy derives from a shared belief that love, dedication, self-sacrifice, teamwork, and discipline necessary for success in life is an excellent basis for a competitive volleyball team.  The interests of the competitive athlete and the sport of volleyball are best advanced when this philosophy is combined with sound, fundamental technical coaching.

The secondary philosophy is to bring together these like-minded individuals to weave their talents into an interdependent and closely-knit structure.   This structure will serve to encourage, support, challenge each individual of the club as well as speak with one voice concerning our beliefs with regard to the sport and the pedagogy of coaching volleyball while also allowing our members to maintain their individuality.
