We are...

QUICK OVERVIEW

We are a consortium of The Colorado Flyers, Denver Parks and Recreation and Shinkara Volleyball Clubs.  We started our club on the premise that club volleyball should not be an elitist sport.  We wanted to provide club volleyball to any athlete that has the desire and talent to play but not necessarily the means. We wanted to even out the playing field.  Established in 2004,  we are well on our way to being a leading force in the Rocky Mountain Region.

THE MISSION...

We are a provider of equal opportunities for girls from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, committed to train and compete at the USA Junior Olympic Level. We promote academic achievement, teamwork, health and positive life skills that are community-based and self-sustaining. We support a national effort to develop inclusion and diversity within the sport of volleyball.

THE VISION...

We are providing skill development, performance training and academic guidance to acquire scholarships for Higher Education to underserved young women to empower them to reach and grasp for a better future through volleyball.

FEES...

Our 2012 Fees will increase slightly for rostered and practice players, however, we will make every attempt to remain the most affordable club in the Rocky Mountain Region. Travel teams pay their travel fees separately.  Any athlete that cannot pay the club fee will be considered on an individual basis for scholarship.  We provide several fund raising and sponsorship opportunities, we also scholarship a percentage of deserving athletes. Unfortunately, there is no scholarship funds available for practice players or travel expenses.
