 Parent Testimonial

 

“We came to Volitude 7 years ago after a friend recommended the clinics for my 3rd grader. She’s now a D1 sophomore for a top program. We’ve chosen to stay with Volitude all of these years because of the coaches. My 3 daughters have been mentored by caring, knowledgable, respectable coaches that expect the best of them. They’ve developed into competitive little beasts. They teach skill, accountability, grit, and perseverance. All while coaching them with respect, love, and kindness. Volitude has supported my girls in ways I could have never imagined. We’ll be here for another 10yrs.”

"Volleyball started as something to keep our daughter active. Quickly it turned into Emily wanting more practice time, more private lessons, more competition, in general  more volleyball. We found Volitude Volleyball Club near its infancy, it was a perfect match for us. They not only provided the lessons of volleyball, the dig, pass and hit but more importantly the mental aspects of being a strong minded person. To believe in yourself and how to navigate through not only the ups and downs of volleyball but also of life. They provided an extended family from teammates to parents and especially her head coach Josh. By the time she concluded her club career she was signing a letter of intent to continue playing NCAA volleyball.  In this day of what can you do for us ? We can say that we never wavered. We believed in what Volitude’s vision is and are proud to say she played her whole career with one club. Our family The Volitude Volleyball Club. "

"I first started attending the Volitude clinics at Apollo park when I was 8 years old. At the time, coach Chris encouraged my mom to sign me up for the more advanced classes. He was also the one who pushed us to tryout for club, and become my first club coach ever when I turned 10. That first year, he taught me to grow out of my comfort zone and not be afraid to be aggressive. For the last four years, Coach Josh has been my coach. He has helped my teammates and I enhance our gameplay, and mindset. As a team, not only do we focus on getting stronger and playing our best, but we also work on our thought process and how to work around mental challenges. Throughout the 5 years of club I have been with Volitude, they have helped me chase my goals and dream big. I am now on my second year at Mater Dei High School; playing on the indoor Junior Varsity team, and the Varsity Beach volleyball team."

"Hi, my name is Shayna Martinez, and I am a former Volitude athlete. My journey started at the age of eight years old when I joined the volleyball academy’s which took place at Apollo Park in the City of Downey. Through the coaching of Joshua Nehls, and other coaches, introduction to the sport, I fell in love with volleyball and pursued my journey with it through the Volitude club. Though it was not my first sport, it was Volitude that allowed me to see a bright future with volleyball. My club experience was so fun being able to play with girls who were older than me. It was one of the things that got me to excel in the sport so quickly. I eventually attended Lakewood High School and played in the Varsity team all 4 years.  I then continued to play at Cypress College where I received numerous awards through volleyball and received a sports scholarship for Ottawa University - Arizona where I continue to play beach volleyball. However, my Volitude journey did not end when I finished club volleyball. I grew such a close friendship and family with all my coaches and teammates that I was able to give back to the Volitude club as a coach. It was a full circle moment to be able to see the people who shaped me into the volleyball player I am now and to coach alongside them as we grow the next generation of volleyball players."

"Shayna Martinez started out learning to play volleyball around 2014 with Volitude through The City of Downey recreation sports programs. With coaching from Josh Nehls, she started to really enjoy the sport. Eventually she was asked to join the first Volitude volleyball team and was the youngest player. At that time Shayna was also playing softball and we would bring her to her softball games and then rush her to the volleyball practices or scheduled games. Her love grew so much for the sport that she quit softball to continue solely to play volleyball. This was all due to Volitude and the great coaching staff.  What we also loved about Volitude was that they not only taught indoor volleyball but also incorporated beach volleyball into their practice. Not only did they care about Shayna as a player but they cared about her as an individual and have continued to support and follow her in her decisions even after Volitude, as an athlete. Shayna played volleyball at Lakewood high school, then at Cypress College and now she is playing beach volleyball at Ottowa University in Arizona. Thank you again to Volitude Volleyball Club."

"Volitude has been my home away from home for as long as I can remember. Since day 1 my coaches have shown me compassion and care and a real drive to make every girl who comes in better. The culture at Volitude is an amazing thing here everyone feels like family. When the time came for me to finish club I knew I wanted to be like the coaches before me and help girls who were just like me get better at this sport. Volitude allowed me to express creativity with the way I coach and has helped me grow in this career field. I am truly grateful and can’t wait to keep getting better."

"My name is Jose L. Ramirez, it has been a privilege being a part of the Volitude volleyball club family for the past 10 years, it all started with my daughter wanting to learn to play volleyball, she became such a good athlete as a result of the Volitude coaching, training and mentoring that has become a Volitude coach herself. What sets Volitude apart from other volleyball clubs is: Volitude is a family oriented club, they care about growth and development of athletes, they put so much dedication to prepare the athletes physically and mentally. I would highly recommend Volitude Volleyball Club."

 Player Testimonial

 

"I could not have asked for a better club to grow as a player and as a person. Not only was I able to grow my skill as a player but, I also developed leadership skills that are useful on and off the court. The people at this club feel like family and I know I can always count on them to have my back. Josh has been so important in shaping me into the player and person I am today and I’m incredibly proud to say I have spent my entire club career with Volitude. I wouldn’t be where I am without the support, encouragement, and positive culture that Josh and the entire Volitude organization has created. I always look forward to coming back, seeing how much Volitude has grown, seeing old teammates, players, and families from other teams, and seeing Josh’s ongoing dedication to improving his coaching and helping his players thrive. Volitude is more than a club, it’s a community and a family."
