Missouri Thunder trains young athletes to be great volleyball players…but even more, to be great young men. We are dedicated to teaching high level volleyball to players who excel at the sport. It is our goal to be competitive on the national level and we are dedicated to achieving this goal for all teams. Missouri Thunder provides extensive teaching and training at an advanced level of play.
Our coaching staff is very competent, positive and enthusiastic. Many of our coaches have completed requirements for USAV CAP certification. Emphasis is placed on learning all aspects of the game and providing the opportunity for every player to improve as an individual. A positive atmosphere is maintained in practice and game situations. Team goals and team skill development is of prime importance. Players learn team offensive and defensive strategies and are active in establishing team goals and objectives.
