Practices
At RUSH volleyball club, we believe the culture of practice should echo the intensity, discipline, and communication we aspire to showcase during competitions.
As coaches, it's our responsibility to instill this culture in our practices, consistently setting high standards and providing the guidance and support our players need to meet them. Our aim is not just to produce talented athletes, but well-rounded individuals who value discipline, teamwork, and mutual respect.
All teams in each session will train together in a Master Coach structure. This practice format has been the favorite of our National teams this past summer. Allows for top level instruction, increased reps, elite competition within practice, and increased coaching feedback. The result is an increased rate of growth from every player regardless of "team coach" or age group. All athletes will be instructed in the same elite manner.

National Teams: Practice Tuesday & Thursday 7pm to 9pm.

Travel Options
Throughout the season, we often encounter situations where a player cannot attend travel events due to a parent's unavailability. To address this, we are offering travel packages for athletes in need of chaperoned club travel this season.
​
Benefits to Families:
Decreased Costs:
Sending just your player instead of the whole family reduces overall travel costs significantly.
Increased Flexibility:
Parents who can attend will enjoy the freedom to spend their weekend as they wish, without being tied to a tournament schedule. They can come and go as they please, enjoying the weekend at their own pace.
Build Team Chemistry:
Teams traveling together build stronger bonds. The time spent together fosters lifelong friendships and enhances team performance.
How is This Executed?
We understand that every family travels differently, so we aim to provide flexible options to accommodate everyone. Here's how it works:
Travel and Hotel Costs:
Each travel event will have optional travel and hotel costs. These will be provided after tryouts. Families can opt-in for a full hands-off experience.
Example: SoCal Cup:
-
Travel Costs: $100
-
Hotel Cost: $300
