Purpose of Team Atlantis Volleyball Club

There is a reason for the name "Team Atlantis".  At Team Atlantis, we are a TEAM.  Our coaches will do their best to teach the concepts of sportsmanship, ethics, and the responsibilities of being part of a team.  Each team should take great pride in being a part of Team Atlantis, and support other Team Atlantis teams.

Team Atlantis’s primary purpose is to take care of our area athletes and high school programs.  It is our opinion that each athlete comes into club volleyball with different needs.  Team Atlantis offers a variety of choices for the athletes.

We have different levels of teams for the athletes to try out for.  We have "Regional" level teams for all age levels.  At the Regional level, coaches concentrate on developing basic individual and team skills for the player.  Regional teams generally do less traveling, and pay less money to participate.

Our "National" division teams have a different set of goals.  The coaches do concentrate on polishing the individual and team skills.  Our National teams also concentrate on learning advanced systems in offense, defense, and serve reception.  These teams will travel greater distances, play in 2 or 3 -day tournaments, and pay a little more money.  Many of our open teams try to qualify for Nationals.

Team Atlantis has many area high school coaches coaching in the program.  We try our best to take care of the players from those schools.  This is one way of rewarding those coaches for their time and efforts they give to Team Atlantis.
