Training Time: 2 practices a week throughout the entire season, the following page details the practice calendar. The season will begin November 28, following Thanksgiving and extend until March 27. Edge will then look to register another cohort of Edge in Training if the interest is high. Training Philosophy: Carolina Edge believes a couple truths that led to the training model we offer: 1. Your daughter does not need to specialize this young! And that’s across sports, and within a single sport that applies to

positions. So we do not want Edge in Training to be their only activity, they are kids, let them free play! 2. Since we will teach everything to everyone, we have no need for a tryout. The program is all about skill development and not

building a team to travel and perform. Side note—they also do not need the stress of a tryout at 12 years old. 3. We do understand the importance of play, after all, that is everyone’s favorite part, but at the age of 12, there is no need to

travel across the country to play. Therefore, we will introduce your daughter to volleyball system within localized play opportunities that will take the place of Sunday’s practices. These play dates are TBD, but will be local and not all day.

4. They need to have fun! Training Structure: Leigh Mullins has built a curriculum that will 1) have your daughter continue to fall in love with volleyball and 2) set the foundation for what they will be asked to do when they get to Megan Garren on the 13s, and then to Jody Brown on the 16s, all the way up to their college coach. They will learn the importance of first contacts and then they will get quality, well-instructed repetitions on the serve and pass. They will learn to set, dive, dig, attack, etc.—everything you see the older girls doing, they will do, which means they will experience guided play and be put in situations to learn, fail, succeed, and ultimately grow.

Head Coach: Leigh Mullins Assistant Coach: Emma

Celentano/Student Assistant

Story: Carolina Edge was built by four Division I coaches: Jody Brown, Jonathan Paulk, Ben Sheu, and Emma Celentano - all of whom coach professionally with experiencing ranging from NAIA to international professional clubs. Given their coaching qualifications and previous club volleyball experience, Carolina Edge solves the most common problem associated with club volleyball: a lack of emphasis on the individual players. Carolina Edge was founded by four professional coaches executing a superior collegiate-preparatory volleyball program. Decisions are made based on what’s best for the players’ development because it’s Edge’s belief that the quality of training will lead to improved player performance and better college recruiting opportunities. That is why Carolina Edge is, Coached Owned, Player Driven. Vision: A volleyball club nationally heralded for developing its players into the best people and athletes they can be. Mission: Building national prominence by developing college-bound volleyball players through superior Coaching, Training, Strength & Conditioning, and Recruiting.
