Missouri Thunder adheres to the National Federation of State High School Activities Association motto…Athletes First—Winning Second. Our program is designed not only to increase a player’s level of volleyball play but also to develop strong character and high self-esteem. High standards of behavior are expected from our players. 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. Training and guidance toward college play are included in the older age division programs.
