Weekly Development Program
Unlock your potential with the exclusive Sharks Volleyball High-Performance Academy Weekly Development Program.
Over 10 weeks during the school term, athletes in grades 7-12 will experience a focused, high-intensity training environment designed to elevate performance. Each session includes:
30 minutes of dedicated strength and conditioning,
90 minutes of advanced skill training
Direct access to experienced state and national-level coaches.
With a quieter, distraction-free environment, this program is tailored to athletes serious about achieving their individual goals and accelerating their development on and off the court.
Exercise and Sport Science Service and Testing
Athletes in the Sharks Volleyball High-Performance Academy receive some of the highest quality training available. Our program is designed to support every aspect of an athlete’s development, combining expert coaching with advanced performance tools to ensure real, measurable progress.
We leverage one of the leading athlete training apps on the market, providing features such as daily wellness check-ins, pre-set gym programs, performance testing, and access to exclusive HPA content.
This technology, combined with our elite training environment, delivers a truly holistic approach to volleyball performance.
Future Pathway Advice
Our coaches work to bring the experience to athletes! Our athletes get to spend time with the players who have already made it to the state, college, or even national level. This is one of the added benefits of being part of the academy, the opporunity to speak directly to those who have been where you are not that long ago.
Intense and focused Training
To ensure athletes selected for the HPA are getting the complete holistic approach to their training, we push the athletes in the academy to train in an environment akin to what they would experience at a state or national level. It is our express goal that this isn’t run of the mill social or school level training.
The registration fee of $480 per term is due following your application being accepted.
