The Payoff
What Six Weeks Changes
Most fall training covers one piece of the athlete. This program covers the whole player: how they move, how they play, how they think and how they fuel.
Jumps Higher, Moves Faster
Volleyball-specific strength, speed and plyometric work that shows up as a bigger vertical and a quicker first step.
Sharper On The Ball
Serving, passing, hitting and footwork coached in small groups, ready to carry straight into club tryouts.
Plays With Confidence
Mental Edge training builds focus and composure, so the tight moments in a match feel like their moments.
Fueled To Finish Strong
A nutrition plan built for their age and goals keeps them energized for training, games and recovery.
Tested at both ends. You get a baseline in week one and the before-and-after numbers at the end.
Enroll
One Program. Both Sides Of The Game.
Performance training builds the athlete. Volleyball training sharpens the player. Run them together for the full six weeks, September 14 to October 24, or start with one.

Inside The Gym
Where The Work Gets Done
Real training, real coaching, and athletes the same age putting in the same work.
A Typical Session
Coached Every Rep
Sessions run about an hour: movement prep, speed & agility, plyometrics, strength, and core.
Training is individualized, so each athlete is pushed at their own pace and level.
Strength That Protects
Stronger hips, knees and ankles: more power on the court and fewer landing injuries.
Coaches At The Net
Private lessons and skill sessions on our court, run by experienced club coaches.
Athletes Their Age
Most fall groups are middle school volleyball players chasing the same club season.
Why Drees
Why Families Train Here
The program is built on a few firm beliefs about how young athletes develop best.
Expert Coaching, Both Sides
Led by the head performance coach for Northern Lights, one of the nation’s top volleyball clubs, plus experienced club coaches.
Small Groups By Design
We keep sessions small on purpose. Your athlete gets coached every rep, corrected in the moment, with a plan that fits them.
Feels Like Family
Training here is fun. High energy, coaches who know every athlete by name, and a family feel that keeps kids excited to come back.
Numbers, Not Guesswork
Objective testing at the start and end of the block. The results are black and white: you see exactly how much better they got.

Fall Program Questions
Who is the program for?
Our primary group is 6th to 8th grade volleyball players getting ready for club season. Younger and older athletes, and athletes from other sports, are welcome too. Email us and we will place your athlete in the right group.
Is strength training safe for younger athletes?
Yes. That is a common myth, but research actually supports resistance training for young athletes. Every session here is coach-led, and athletes progress through our L1 to L5 development system, so a 6th grader and a high school athlete are never doing the same workout.
Can my athlete train during the school season?
Yes. In-season athletes get a volume-managed track: enough work to keep improving, light enough that it does not compete with practices and matches. Tell us their schedule when you enroll.
What if we can only make one session some weeks?
That is normal in the fall. Sessions are booked week by week through your account, so a light week is fine. If you know you will miss several weeks, email us before enrolling and we will tell you honestly whether the block is the right buy.
Can we join after September 14?
Usually yes, though testing works best from week one. Email info@dreesperformance.com and we will sort out timing and pricing.
Do we get the test results?
Yes. You get the baseline numbers after testing week and the full before-and-after at the end of the block.
What is the Complete Athlete Package?
Everything on this page in one program: performance training, volleyball lessons, Mental Edge coaching and nutrition. Email info@dreesperformance.com for all the details.
