The intention of these programs is to bring athletes together in concentrated training blocks, providing opportunities for development and preparation without the full commitment of FTG or Integrated programs. Information posted soon.

Targeted Teams

The objective of this program is to provide the opportunity for committed teams to stay connected to each other and beach off season preparation through dedicated training opportunities.

Targeted Tall Maples

The objective of this program will be to support Tall Maples athletes in building their foundations as volleyball athletes through strength and conditioning and Integrated Support Team services, while using beach training as a tool to reinforce skills that strengthen their overall development.
