Ashlyn Anderson’s story is a unique one that is full of failure, hard work and growth. Not everyone’s path or timing to a college career is the same. Ashlyn’s wasn’t easy and it surely wasn’t a guarantee when she was younger. But now, she’s developed into one of the top attackers in the state of Florida for her graduating class and committed to a Top 50 RPI NCAA DI program in Kennesaw State University. Enjoy! #SkylineFamily #NextLevel

Now that the National Qualifier season is over and the Florida Region Championships are completed, the bids are out for the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships. We are extremely proud to say that- in just our 6th season- we have had THREE different teams earn bids to the GJNC!! 14 Royal earned an American bid at the Big South Qualifier (Atlanta), 16 Royal Earned a National bid at the FL Region Championships (Orlando) and 17 Royal earned a Freedom bid at the FL Region Championships (Orlando).

Prior to this season, we’ve had one team earn a bid in 2021 and that same team earn a bid in 2022. This is SIGNIFICANT growth for the club and a testament to vision set forth by our leadership- the training, the developmental process and the Performance and Strength program. As good as any vision is, it is nothing without coaches and players buying into the vision and putting in the work. Congrats to all. This is an honor that the entire club shares!

Extremely excited to finally announce that we have made the organizational investment to hire a FULL-TIME Performance & Strength Coach for the club!! Alan Edwards brings not only an expertise in training athletes, but also 18 years of college volleyball coaching experience- including 3 years at the University of Tennessee. Alan is very well-respected in the college coaching profession and will help to elevate our athletes to another level of performance. Welcome to the family, Alan! #SkylineFamily #NextLevel

Here are some highlights from our 2022 College Coaches Camp. With Texas A&M, Marquette, Wake Forest, Florida State and Tulane as the feature schools, our camp athletes were introduced to some of the best coaching talent in the country! Each school had a morning with those athletes going into 8th grade or younger and then an afternoon with our high school aged athletes.

We’ve already got schools that want to return next year as well as other great programs that just weren’t able to make it work this year. Keep an eye out for future clinics and min-camps with various schools in the future, as this is now a “regular” thing for our club with the new facility!

Stressed about not being able to make tryouts? On vacation? Different club tryouts at the same time? We’ve got a solution for you!

We are offering Pre-Tryout Evaluation Clinics. You can register for any or all of them! Just let us know that you won’t be able to make tryouts and we can get an early evaluation on you before we make teams.

Also, if you are new to the club and want to get in front of our coaches before actual tryouts, these Pre-Tryout Evaluation Clinics are a great way to do that!

Here are the dates:

FIVE seasons are almost in the books!! Looking toward Year 6, we will see the club grow once again. We will be offering two teams at the 11’s age group through the 17’s age group- in addition to one 18’s and one 10’s. Every year, we are seeing greater success on the court with our teams’ success, but even more importantly, we’re seeing our athletes establish important roles on their school teams as well as in the attention the older athletes are getting in college recruiting.

Year 6 will see a fully constructed facility with air conditioning and indoor restrooms. The structural portion of Phase II along with the framework has been up and ready for full permitting by the city, which we finally received this past week!

With four courts and a 2,500 sq ft Performance & Strength area, we are doing our best to create the level of training and resources that we were able to offer our college athletes for over 20 years. Jacksonville Skyline is the ONLY club in Jacksonville with 100% CONTROL over their own facility. No distractions. No unwanted noise. Just a great place to train volleyball! Come be a part of something special and growing!

As our club continues to grow, we are always looking to add coaches for the 2022-23 travel season. Affiliated with Dallas Skyline and the Skyline clubs in Texas, Jacksonville Skyline joins the Skyline family of clubs that are instantly recognizable and well-respected on a national level by other clubs and college programs alike. Our approach to training is fundamentally based upon principles developed in 20+ years of college coaching as well as USA Volleyball High Performance.
