BOYS, GIRLS, BEACH. PACIFIC RIM TEAMS TRAIN AT A COLLEGIATE LEVEL

Pacific Rim strives to provide a comprehensive athletic experience in a positive and fun environment. It is the objective of the Pacific Rim Volleyball Academy to stress preparation, fundamentals and teamwork within the concept of good sportsmanship. The primary emphasis on education, training (Academy), and competition (Club) are the key components utilized to achieve our objectives.

As the player progresses through the program, we will provide the path for athletes to test their abilities, in order to reach their highest potential.  Through private lessons, and the opportunity for year-round skills classes, athletes of any age or level can learn and improve the skills needed to gain a competitive edge.  For those athletes with limited playing experience, we will help develop solid fundamental skills, as well as a passion for the sport.  Our advanced training, for junior levels (12th grade & below), will provide athletes the opportunity to excel at becoming elite players in preparation for high school and/or collegiate volleyball.
