The High School season is under way and League play starts soon… which means… we’re a little more than a month away from the start of the club volleyball season!

We will begin in November with our Open House event Wednesday, October 29, 2008.  For one hour starting at 6:30 PM we will provide a complete club program description, introduce our fantastic staff, and answer all of your questions.  This will be the time to sign up for the season and to sign up for the Tryouts/Team Selections starting November 1-2, 2008 for grades 8 and below and starting November 9-10, 2008 for grades 9 and 10 and November 15-16 for grades 11 and 12.

There are many ways to increase your speed through agility and jump training. The Desert Sports Center proudly offers the PlyoCity Plyometric program. Practiced by olympic gold medalists, the PlyoCity program is designed to increase vertical jump, agility and coordination.

Plyometrics is the term now applied to exercises that have their roots in Europe, where they were first known simply as jump training. Interest in this jump training increased in the early 1970's as East European athletes emerged as powers on the world sport scene. The actual term 'plyometrics' was first coined in 1975 by Fred Wilt, one of America's more forward-thinking track and field coaches. Based on Latin origins, plyo + metrics is interpreted to mean 'measurable increases.' Plyometric training became essential to athletes who jumped, lifted or threw.

New sessions of PlyoCity Plyometrics will be offered at the Desert Sports Center Starting in November. Call or check back for details.
