Program Philosophy

Our philosophy is to create an intense learning environment that challenges everyone to excel. It's not only about winning and losing; it's about Personal, Team, and Program success. Every athlete in this program needs to have the chance to fail and then learn from their failures. For the athletes it's about taking themselves out of the box, being aggressive, and attacking every obstacle put in front of them.  We push one another to improve with every drill at every practice.  This program is not for the timid, lazy or uninspired.

Coaching, Physical Training, Mental Training = Athletic Success

Our program is 3 dimensional;  coaching, physical training, and mental preparation.  We have the best of experts in all 3, and all 3 are necessary for success.  An athlete cannot improve in their sport without a good coach, they cannot compete athletically without great trainers, and they cannot be successful without conquering the mental aspect of focus and prevailing under pressure.  We provide the best in all 3.

The Coaches and trainers take Stats and test each athlete to determine what the individual athlete needs so he / she can set our Personal, Team, and Program goals accordingly. The trainers do testing to determine the specific training program necessary for each athlete. Without the numbers, how would we know what improvements need to be made and what we need to practice? Knowledge is power and well informed athletes, trainers, and Coaches can move forward together in a positive way. We focus on the task at hand so we always understand what needs to be done.

Volleyball:  We are a get-on-the-court-and-play club. This doesn't mean we're an equal-playing-time club. We believe the reason you practice is so you can apply that knowledge to the court during tournaments. This is the only way for you to know if you're improving and it's the only way to get real game experience. Plus it's fun and that's why we all do this in the first place. Playing time will be decided by each coach and it's somewhat determined by the make up of the team. If the team only has one Setter, they will play more then an Outside Hitter who shares time with 3 other players. Playing time will be given to everyone when it is warranted and where the team can still be successful.

Wrestling:  The concepts of hard work at practice along with the wrestling testing and training provided by our trainers will prepare the athlete to compete at the highest levels.  We provide the best coaches and training partners to advance the athlete's skills.  The testing and training provided are designed specifically for each individual athlete's needs to optimize his wrestling potential.  Participation in the tournaments of the highest levels of competition including international competition will be offered to anyone in our program.

We are a one Player, one Parent, one Coach, one Team, and one Program moving forward accomplishing the same goals. That's the way Sabotage Volleyball succeeded in our first year as a U17's team and that's the way we're going to succeed in all our sports for years to come.

Sabotage Sports Online Store : The Sabotage Sports Online Store is an internal fundraiser. Products purchased from the store or vendors in the store earn the member credit points. Each $25.00 spent = 1 credit point. 30% of the net funds generated from the store will go for scholarships and 70 % will go for travel. SWA and SVB funds raised and awarded are kept separate and credit points are awarded to the sport of the purchaser’s login. The online store manager will produce a report each quarter and a members’ board consisting of the Volleyball Director, the Wrestling Director and an accountant will receive both scholarship and travel funds requests and from that information will award funds. Only members of current SVB or SWA teams can apply for travel funds. A sponsor or member can apply for scholarship funds for a SVB or SWA team member. The funds awarded will be based on the following criteria:

1. Funds earned and available per sport
2. Demonstrated need based on scholarship application
3. Points earned for travel funds are for regional and national events only
