About FVA-Freeport

Program
The FVA program starts in December and concludes in April at a fun, competitive multiple day event at the WI Dells Sports Center. Our teams compete in 1-2 tournaments (typically on Sundays) per month throughout the season in Freeport, Machesney Park, Marengo, Aurora, etc. Players have at least 2-2 hour team practices per week at our "home site" the Fitness Lifestyles Center (FLC). The FLC provides Fusion with the opportunity to have multiple teams practicing at one time enabling quality scrimmage time within our teams. Quality touches and technique are the cornerstone for our athletes success. FVA trains its athletes under a "master coach" system of training. This is a proven system that provides a consistent progression of teaching the skills of volleyball within each age division. This will create a more competitive practice environment and promote the development of individual skill. For example, an athlete on a 15-3 team will receive the same technical training as an athlete on the 15-1 team. As the "Master Coach" will be responsible for developing all the practice plans for each age division. Under the MC, there will be one "Lead Coach" at each age division to assist the MC with the development of that group. All FVA coaches are Impact certified. Our coaching staff attends multiple coaching clinics with the top college and club coaches in the area. We believe that teaching proper technique and fundamentals by our unified coaching staff in a fun intense environment that our athletes will have a strong foundation for their level of success.

Multi-Sport Athletes
Flexibility for the multi-sport athlete ~ Fusion requires athletes to provide competition schedules to their coach prior to the start of their season. Fusion allows multi-sport athletes, but expects athletes to communicate as early as possible with the coach any conflicts and to make-up missed practices with another team that week. FVA staff works to design a practice schedule that works best for each team and their other scheduled commitments. Due to this flexibility in the practice schedule FVA teams are practicing typically every day of the week allowing amble make-up times for our athletes as well as opportunities for extra practice time for any athlete.

Recruiting Process is 2nd to none!
Club Fusion's recruiting process is second to none! Our success in the recruiting process is due in no small part to our recruiting director, Jim Mohr, and his dedication to finding the right school for each athlete. Jim works with the families to educate them on the process and creates a profile for each player that is directed towards understanding their wants and needs in finding the right school. This service is open to all Fusion athletes and their families at no additional expense. Club Fusion Volleyball has a close relationship with multiple college coaches many in which visit the Fusion facility on a weekly basis. These collegiate coaches have the utmost respect for our athletes and Fusion coaches.  This is a free service offered to all Fusion families.
