Volleyball is not a complicated sport, but it is a very complex one. Our passion is passing down the many lessons of movement and mastery we have learned, from some of the world's best coaches, in volleyball and beyond, to children in a way that makes competition, in anything they do, a fun, process-based adventure.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SPECIAL CLUB SHOUTOUTS:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486658,"width":"169px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486658" style="width:169px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SKILZ TO PAY THE BILZ.

Amelia S. is one of the finest examples of complete player in the region. A rising u14 Amelia already holds a Liberty Bronze, a PVL Gold, a Coastal Combine Gold and an American Gold from the Far Western as the starting OH for u15 Flow-1. The quiet dedication she has shown to her process has been an inspiration to players and staff alike. Her work in the weight room with coach&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fitlou310/">@fitlou310</a>&nbsp;is in the upper echelon of the club. More Gold coming your way A.S - Les get it!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486681,"width":"174px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image-5.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486681" style="width:174px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FEELING GOOD.

Development takes precision timing and relentless pursuit of the art of the game.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/caleigh.london/">@caleigh.london</a>&nbsp;makes the jump up to u15 as a multi-skill threat. The OH spent a year in the Bounce Academy and then provided the majority of team offense at u13. She now joins a solid core at u15 as a setter. We are looking forward to big growth in the 2024 campaign.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486685,"width":"175px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image-7.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486685" style="width:175px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OG. The voices in the gym that know the most are starting to ring the loudest. Cecilia embarks on her 4th tour with LAVBC as one of the ORIGINAL Bounce Academy founding players. Today her voice echos the coaches before the coach speaks and her leadership comes effortlessly. It's truly wonderful to be a part of this kind of growth. As she moves to the pins, we look forward to celebrating the great season it will be. For club and country Cecilia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486688,"width":"178px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image-9.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486688" style="width:178px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TIME. Time is both the great destroyer and the scepter of manifestation. Marisol, perhaps more than any other player in the club, has used steady work overtime to transform herself into one of the best liberos in the region. Not only that- her work with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fitlou310/">@fitlou310</a>, in the weight room, has her touching over 9'. Her attacking ability may just transform her into an attacking DS this season - THE FUTURE OF THE GAME. Hat's off Marisol who enters competition as a Red Rock Bronze Medalist, PVL Gold Medalist, Coastal Combine Gold Medalist and Far Western Gold Medalist. Keep churning. Keep climbing.

Playing with a joy for the game is so quintessential. Demir brings the joy whenever she plays. The young multi-position player has started to really use her bounce. In ‘23-‘24 we really look forward to seeing her split time on the right side. This year is our year Demir!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486691,"width":"179px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image-11.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486691" style="width:179px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CONTROL.

Is it the dad's first in the history of club volleyball hit hip-hop song or the fact she flys so high? Don't Know. Don't Care. We are just extremely thankful for this wonderful family and the crazy amount of work Gaia has put in in the last 2 years. Season 3 will be a coming out party for this MB/OH/Oppo/WhateverYaGot who was named Performer of the Night in a star-studded&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigca/">@prepdigca</a>&nbsp;showcase just weeks ago. Gaia enters the season as a Red Rock Bronze Medalist, PVL Gold Medalist, Coastal Combine Gold Medalist and Far Western Gold Medalist.

Welcome in Mezi! Sometimes the eyes say it all. The desire to push forward, to accept the challenge, to devote oneself to the path of mastery. When we bet on process we bet on the person.

Welcome in Julia. Julia enters her first season with LAVBC on team Flow-JO. She brings great energy to the practice gym and a diverse skill set that gives Flow options throughout the line-up.

When the switch flips and the athlete is ready to commit to their dream, the structure of the club and the incredible brain trust of trainers and coaches can go to work to exponentially speed up as well as expand the athlete's development arch. Jayla, at 13, hit that point this off season. While many things are still very new, her 6'2” frame and 6'5” wingspan give her an ability to contribute at the u15 Flow level. we couldn't be more excited. The Jayla has accepted the challenge. Les go &amp; let's get after it Jayla - this is your season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":486699,"width":"160px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/image-16.png" alt="" class="wp-image-486699" style="width:160px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PERSONAL. Once an athlete takes it personal, they understand that their name is on the line. Every time they practice and every time they compete - who they are as a person will be tested. The name on the back of the jersey will be questioned. We make questions moot by the work we put in before the whistle blows.
