Jacksonville Skyline Volleyball

What a weekend in Tallahassee for our teams at the Capital City Classic hosted by ProStyle Volleyball Club! Both 12 Royal and 16 Royal finished in 1st place in the Gold Division, while 13 Royal, 14 Royal and 15 Royal placed 2nd in the Gold Division.

Our athletes are improving at a great rate and it isn’t a surprise that when you focus on fundamental skill and doing it the right way, success follows. Keep up the good work.

Now we’re off to Orlando for the Sunshine National Qualifier this weekend. Good luck, teams!

We like to say that you haven’t seen a warmup until you’ve seen a Coach Steph warmup! This isn’t your circle stretch and run around the court a couple times. Our dynamic warmup keeps our athletes always moving, but also includes elements of speed and strength training that is such an important part of the development of young athletes. And if you’re lucky…you get a day when you’re competing!!

Our travel teams competed in their first tournaments this past weekend. At Jacksonville Skyline, we dedicate the majority of our training time in the first couple months of the club season to fundamental skill work- with just a small touch of offensive and defensive systems.

Our primary focus and goal of the club is to get each of our athletes as technically sound as possible so that their skills can translate to wherever they are playing in the following season: be it middle school or high school. With this focus, we do our best to ensure that our athletes are prepared to play in ANY system and as they continue through the program, this will be essential for those with goals of playing in college.

That being said, we did see some great team performances this past weekend.

• Both our 12 Royal and 14 Black teams finished 2nd in Gold in their tournaments at PVA down in Lake Helen
• At the local Jax Jam Regional Ranking Tournament, we saw 3rd place Gold Bracket finishes from both 14 Royal and 16 Royal, while 15 Royal finished 5th in Gold

It was a great weekend and we look forward to playing in two weekends In Tallahassee!

At Jacksonville Skyline, we take great pride in offering more than elite-level volleyball training to our athletes. Our Core Training program focuses on speed, agility, quickness, vertical jump, explosion and conditioning. These are some of the best days with our athletes. We get to watch them gain confidence, compete and bond with each other.

Our Club Prep program is back! Over the last 6 months, not only have our travel teams doubled in size, so has our extremely popular Club Prep Academy. Club Prep focuses on developing young volleyball athletes not yet committed to travel volleyball.

We’re celebrating our partnership with Jax Beach Volleyball by hosting two beach volleyball clinics together. These 2-hour clinics will be a great intro to the sport and run by the experts in the sport!

Due to high demand for our clinics in the last 6 months, we recommend registering early before the clinics fill up! CLICK HERE to register.

We’ve been patiently waiting to expand our club offerings to beach volleyball and the time has come! Jacksonville Skyline is extremely excited to announce a partnership with Jax Beach Volleyball to offer our athletes the very best beach volleyball training in the region.

Please refer to the press release below for further details and quote from Skyline as well as Jax Beach VB Director and professional beach volleyball player, Kent Ammons.

Back by popular demand, our Skill Clinic series are back after a wildly successful turnout this past summer. Our Friday night Skill Clinics focus on four fundamental areas:

– Serving
– Attacking
– Passing/Defense
– Setting

Each clinic is 1-hr long and features training from Hugh and Steph Hernesman. Hugh and Steph are currently at Nease high school after a 20+ year career as college coaches. After finishing their college careers at Clemson University to focus on their own children, Hugh and Steph partnered with one of the top clubs in the country- Dallas Skyline to bring high-level training to Jacksonville!

Sign up for one clinic or make it a regular Friday night event. Each clinic will focus on fundamental skills, cues and progressions that will help to improve the skill level of all players. These are the same training techniques the Hernesman’s used with their collegiate athletes as well as their High Performance athletes while working with USA Volleyball.

This fall, we’re continuing with another Club Prep Fall 8-week session. Our goal is to continue to train younger athletes and help prepare them for middle school volleyball as well as introduce them to the benefits of training outside of school ball in a club setting.

Our Club Prep program this past spring and summer saw an incredible amount of growth in our athletes and was a huge success. We want to continue to give our younger athletes access to training and continue to grow our sport!
