High Performance Program

Maverick Volleyball High Performance (HP) Program was designed in consultation with leading Canadian volleyball experts. It is based on recent athlete development research and is proven to provide maximum physical and mental development for young athletes.

HP is a solid launch pad for a motivated youth towards a college, university or national volleyball career.

"HP is an innovative training approach to volleyball that permits young athletes to maximize their development. I strongly recommend the program for high school athletes."
