The Serve

This an overview of the season opener for the 15u and 16u SoCal Cup Qualifiers. 

When it comes to growing the game of volleyball, First Point Volleyball Foundation is at the tip of the spear when it comes to the mens side.  I had the privelage to sit with two legendary figures in the volleyball ethos, Kenny Rogers of California and Sarah Conklin of North Carolina.  They are two links in the chain building and growing the high school branch of boys and mens volleyball.  Pay close attention as they both share with us the journey of growing the game of boys volleyball with all the challenges and triumphs that come with it.

If coaching makes a difference, then this is the coach you're looking for!  When it comes to the development of a player, you cannot skip steps.  One of the biggest contributing factors of development is the environment in which you participate.  Coach Earl Laulusa is the greenhouse for your player.  His approach to the game is solid as is his approach to managing and developing his players.  The culture of his team is reflective in their character as well as their play.  Join me as Coach Lulus and I talk about the essence of team culture and his approach to the wonderful game of boys club indoor volleyball.

In this episode, I sat on the beach with US Olympian, USA Volleyball Coach, LOVB Head Coach and Team Rockstar Volleyball owner, Matt Fuerbringer.  We had a great conversation that spanned the gamut of volleyball from young kids who play to the international professional level.  My summation... You've got to put the work in.  Matt breaks it down for us as we endured all the airplanes, crying kids and every other audible distraction you can encounter on the beach in Southern California.  I hope you enjoy this episode and subscribe to the podcast.

A brief conversation with the MB Surf 18u coach, Parker Boehle.  Having gone undefeated through last seasons SoCal Cup league and tournament play, the MB Surf 17u team took second place at JO's.  In this episode, Coach Boehle talks about the experience and how resilient his team is as they prepare for the opening qualifiers for SoCal Cup for the 2024 - 2025 season.  With a new roster for this year Coach Boehle and his team embarks on their final journey to Orlando with this group.
