Congratulations to all of the teams that made it to Nationals!! Now is the time to prepare yourself physically, mentally, and psychologically for Nationals. We will continue to train twice a week and it is imperative that you be there! In order for the Xplosive Edge to have you completely maximized and prepared for nationals, we are going to amp up the training in preparation mode. If you are consistently coming to your training times, be prepared to physically and mentally dominate the national tournament! I am very proud of all of the premier athletes that have invested in the Xplosive Edge and worked hard in the weight room. Keep up the good work!

Congrats Katy, Kala and Nikki!!

The Bruins signed three recruits for the 2007 season from the Premier Volleyball Club. All three players will make a significant impact on the team in their quest to the national championships. Siedlik said, "All I can say about this group is that they are competitive and they love the game. My goal here is to compete year after year at the national level. Last season's success put us even closer to that goal. This made it more enticing to these recruits to be a part of it."

	Katy Gregory, SR, Omaha , Mercy HS: Katy is an outside hitter and plays for Premier Volleyball Club. Her parents are Dave and Renee. "I have known Katy for years. Katy is a very smart player that has court sense of an experienced senior player. She jumps very well for her height and ball control that will help us in big matches. When she goes, the team gets rolling." She was All Area Second team and All State Honorable Mention.
	Kala Holmes, SR, Nebraska City Lourdes HS: She is an outside for Premier Volleyball Club. Her parents are Loren and Beth. "Kala has been on my radar for a couple years. She is athletic and a hard worker. She is only going to get better and better in her college career." She was chosen All State Honorable Mention.
	Nicole Seipold, SR, Westside HS: She is an outside hitter for Premier Volleyball Club. Her parents are Rick and Kelly. "Nicole is just an added pack to the punch. She adds depth to our team in defense and on the outside. Not only will she make it competitive every day, but she will make us better as a whole." .

Monday and Thursday will be at 8:00pm and Wednesday will be at 7:00pm. All of the post testing will be done at the Omaha Sports Complex.

All other premier athletes that participate in the Xplosive Edge are encouraged to be at the testing in order to post test and see your performance results. This will only take about 45 minutes and the athletes only need to show up once at any session that you may choose. If you have any questions feel free to call Gibb Duval at 933-7622.

The Xplosive Edge presents………….Summer Camp 2007!!!!!

The Xplosive Edge Summer Camp is devised to maximize athletic performance; this camp is an intense 8-week camp for all athletes ages 14 and up. Each athlete will be pre and post tested to see the gains that they made. A program derived from Husker Power’s Performance Principles, the Xplosive Edge will make each athlete more powerful, more agile, stronger, and faster. Whether it’s a star striving for a college scholarship, an athlete looking to make the high school team, or anyone trying to get better, we WILL increase the athletic performance of each attendee. The Xplosive Edge camp consists of strength and explosive lifts, speed and agility drills, and a complete sports nutrition profile with the athletes attending camp 4 days a week.

If you are a Premier athlete that already participates in the Xplosive Edge program, we will pro-rate the price of this camp to $335.00 (regularly $395.00). This camp will be the most intense camp ever, but the results that you will see in just 8 weeks will blow your mind. The average increase in the vertical jump in 8 weeks is 4.1 inches with the average 10 and 40 yard dash decreasing by up to half a second! Not only will we be doing strength and conditioning, but also biomechanical evaluations, injury prevention, speed, acceleration and deceleration, jump training and dry ground landing preparation, as well as nutrition and supplementation.

If you are a Premier athlete that already participates in the Xplosive Edge program but do not want to hop into the Summer Camp 2007, we will be training up through the end of June still at twice a week. Times may be subject to change, please continue checking the website frequently for the Xplosive Edge schedule.

Summer Camp Details :
June 11-Aug. 3 2007
The Omaha Sports Complex @ 147 and Giles (we may possibly have a session running out of The Courts)
We will be offering 3 sessions throughout the day for the athletes to pick from: 6:00-8:00am 8:30-10:30am 6:00-8:00pm
This camp will be a 4 day a week camp (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays)
Cost: $335.00 for all athletes that already participate in the Xplosive Edge
