Katy, Kala and Nikki - Premier's Bellevue University Recruits!

February 15, 2007

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." .

Summer Conditioning Xplosive Edge Camp

May 1st, 2007

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

It has been a pleasure working with Beth over the years and a rewarding experience, not just because she will continue her career in college but also due to all of the great coaches she has had the opportunity to play for!

Congratulations Beth and best wishes for the remainder of the season and beyond!

The NEW Facility!!

May 31, 2006

Premier Volleyball has a new home during the 2006-07 Season!

We have been involved with the initial vision and have served as one of the consultants for Ron Hoffman, the manager of the new Omaha volleyball facility that will be known as “The Courts”.

The Courts are located at 8930 So. 137th Circle. Click here for map/directions. It is a 24,000 square foot training facility housing six volleyball courts, office and storage area, restrooms and concessions. There will be space for 4 competition courts in the same space for tournament events, also. This facility is only for Volleyball!!

Check out The Courts!

Open House
Wednesday, June 7th
6pm-9pm

Premier Volleyball is a “Founding Member” of The Courts. Being a “Founding Member” has a few inherent advantages, such as early choice of times and days, “tournament host” possibilities each month during the season and the opportunity for us to schedule additional practices or special sessions during the week.

We have practice times for the upcoming season secured, as well as events this summer for those interested in Premier Volleyball.

The Courts will offer year-round opportunities for volleyball training. We will be active in using the space during the off-season as well, just as we did in the past, to help our athletes continue to develop their skills.

A special thanks to everyone that has helped out over the past 2 months to get this facility up and running. We really appreciate all your hard work and dedication!

Premier Volleyball is very excited to be a part of this new Facility and is looking forward to the upcoming season!!!

Minneapolis Selected as Host for 2007 USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship

Octotber 23, 2006

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 20, 2006) – USA Volleyball is proud to announce Minneapolis as the site for the 2007 USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship. The event will be held June 29-July 8 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

“USA Volleyball is excited to have one of our premier events for 2007 located in the city of Minneapolis,” said Mike Chandler, USA Volleyball director of events. “Minneapolis has been an excellent host of USA Volleyball events in the past. Participants and parents should have a tremendous experience not only with the event itself, but also with the many things to do in the Twins City area.”

According to Chandler, USA Volleyball normally announces the host site for the USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship much earlier in the year. However, complications existed this year after the initial city targeted to host the event dropped out before the final contracts were signed.

“The Minneapolis Convention Center and Meet Minneapolis, the local convention and visitor’s bureau, has stepped up to the plate to make this work at such a late date,” Chandler said. “To put on such a huge event takes a lot of coordination through the CVB to insure availability of the convention center and hotel rooms during the specified time period.”

This year’s USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship has been extended from eight to 10 days to help balance the start and finish of the event. Another advantage to the staggered start and finish to the tournament will be each age group having its own championship day and championship court to itself. A quick look at the tournament format and schedule can be found at .

The tournament has also expanded from 756 to 788 teams as requested by the Youth and Junior Olympic Division. The 13 American Division has doubled from 24 to 48 teams. The 12 age group has gone up from 64 to 72 teams by splitting into a 48-team National Division and a 24-team American Division.

The USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship attracts nearly 8,500 athletes annually to the event hosted by USA Volleyball. Last year’s Open held in Atlanta attracted 756 teams from across the country. Further, the event draws not only thousands of family and friends, but hundreds of college recruiters looking for the next top players for their programs.

Minneapolis has served as host for four other major USA Volleyball events in the past four years. The city was the site for the 2006 USA Volleyball Junior Olympic Boys’ Volleyball Championship, as well as the 2006 USA Volleyball Junior Olympic Girls’ Invitational Championship. Minneapolis also was the site for two World League men’s matches between Team USA and Japan. USA Volleyball also conducted its Adult Open at Minneapolis in 2003.

USA Volleyball has permission from the United States Olympic Committee to incorporate the word “Olympic” into the title for the USA Junior Olympic Girls’ Volleyball Championship through 2008, so long as the event does not have a title sponsor included. Individual clubs and regions are prohibited from using the term “Olympic” for any other purpose, including the name within their own

Premier Volleyball Class of 2006 - 15 for 15!

July 11, 2006

As we set up our tryouts for the 2005/2006 season and made coaching assignments a comment was made from my staff that we could have two pretty good 18’s teams this year. As it turned out, we did develop two very solid 18’s squads with 9 seniors and one junior on the Gold team and 6 seniors and 3 juniors on the Black team.

As of July 10, 2006 all 15 of our seniors had received and accepted offers to play at the collegiate level. 2006 marks the second time in Premier Volleyball history we have had 15 recruited athletes in one year! We are very pleased with the performance of both teams this year and wish all of the seniors the best as they start college.

Congratulations to Bellevue University, College of Saint Mary, Concordia University, Dana College, Doane College, Iowa Western Community College, Midland Lutheran College, Northwest Missouri State, University of Nebraska - Kearney and Washburn University for securing such a talented group of athletes. Our best wishes to all of our seniors who begin their future careers in a couple short months. We’ll miss you all!
