React Volleyball strives to create successful athletes.  We expect success to be shown not only through the number of wins, but through the
development of our athletes.  We challenge our athletes in both the mental and physical aspects of volleyball.  We believe that in order to
compete at a high level, we must train at a high level.  React Volleyball players will be challenged in practice and pushed to increase the speed
of their game as they master fundamental skill techniques.   React Volleyball players will be taught to be various concepts of the game so that
they can have the deeper understanding/intelligence of volleyball that is crucial to becoming a great volleyball player.  We believe that if we teach
and train our athletes the right way, they will gain so much more than just another tally in the W column.  React Volleyball is a program designed
to offer the best players in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa a place to come together to make an impact on the national and local volleyball
community.

Multi-Sport Athlete Policy
We understand that many of our players will be multi-sport athletes.  That is why we designed a club with the multi-sport
athlete in mind.  In the Regional Program, If there is a conflict between a school sport and a club practice/tournament, the
school sport comes first.  Make-up practices are available for all athletes who have to miss a practice, and most volleyball
tournaments are scheduled around school sporting events.  In the Junior National Program, if there is a conflict between a
school sport and a club practice/tournament, the school sport comes first
except for qualifiers and nationals.  This way, we
can ensure that our best teams will be together at the qualifiers.  

Jump Training/Plio Training:  Click Here for more information
React Volleyball offers a strength and jump training program that focuses on the health of each athlete.  Our aim is to build
balance and strength through core exercises that keep a low impact on the body.  For example, some of our jump training is
done at Nash Recreation Center's indoor pool to reduce shock impact on the joints.  We want our players to be able to play
for a lifetime.

Position Training
Every program at React offers position training so that each athlete has time to work in her specialty area.  At React, we
ensure through our position training that every athlete from Junior Olympic Travel to Junior Regional will have the same
opportunity to improve their skills and work with a variety of coaches.

React Youth Volleyball
React Volleyball prides itself on the innovative and creative techniques we use to make the sport of volleyball accessible to
our young athletes.   We introduce the proper skills and techniques so that players have the building blocks to a successful
future in volleyball.  For our younger players, we run our drills in proportion to their age and size level.  Scrimmage games
help the athletes put their skills to work while having fun learning the game.  React Youth would like to work with volleyball
players throughout Illinois - doors are open to everyone.

Summer Camps
Through high repetition and strict technique work, players can expect to refine their skills in any React Volleyball camp.  
Camps are run by experienced coaches who know the value of skill development.  Camps take place in the summer for
different age groups at different times.  Camps are open to all Illinois players.  


Our mission is to provide an environment to increase a volleyball player’s skills, abilities and knowledge of the game.  Our
success is determined by the continual improvement of each player’s ability, physically and mentally, while always being
respectful of the players, parents, and coaches.  Whatever program you chose, we are determined to make it a worthwhile
experience for everybody involved.
