Xplosive Edge and Premier Volleyball

Designed specifically for Premier Volleyball athletes since 2005, the Xplosive Edge has teamed up with Premier to create the superior power athlete. Trained on site at our "Courts" satellite facility, premier athletes can train immediately before or after practice with X-edge.

Emphasis is put on increasing strength, balance, agility, and range of motion, all while developing more power. These Premier Volleyball athletes are increasing their vertical jumps while at the same time learning how to jump and land on the ground as well as accelerate and decelerate. Plyometrics are included in our training regimen only when the athlete has become strong enough to control their bodies in space.

Premier athletes are trained twice a week (45 min. sessions) right before or after their practice. Each athlete is pre and post performance tested to see their own individual performance index score created by Boyd Epley of Epic Athletic Performance.

Premier, Xplosive Edge, Hruska Clinic Partnership!!!!

August 25th, 2009


Through partnerships with the Hruska Clinic and Xplosive Edge, Premier Volleyball continues to provide the most well rounded club volleyball experience for young athletes. We believe these partnerships are essential for the growth of Premier Volleyball because they help ensure the physical health of our athletes.

The Xplosive Edge is a strength and conditioning company known for its cutting edge research and technology in the field of maximizing athletic performance. With the integration of biomechanics, the Xplosive Edge will remain years ahead of the competition. The Xplosive Edge is a results driven company that places a major emphasis on decreasing injuries while creating a faster and stronger athlete.

The Hruska Clinic offers a unique approach to physical therapy called Postural Restoration. This approach addresses the underlying faulty movement patterns or mechanics that are directly influencing pain symptoms. Specific exercises are instructed to restore proper alignment and movement strategies. Exercises progress as strength allows, eventually including very dynamic activity, so re-training is similar to the athlete's sport demands.

Premier Volleyball is excited to offer these partnerships to our athletes, who will benefit by becoming more explosive volleyball players while reducing the likelihood of injuries.

Xplosive Edge Strength Training

October 31, 2007

We will be recommending everyone in our club to get involved in the Xplosive Edge Program for the complete development and care of their children. Part of the Xplosive Edge program is the pre-testing criteria. Whether the athletes decide to participate or not we want every player to get tested. They test for vertical jump, 10 yard and 40 yard dash times, pro-agility drill time and body fat. They have reduced their prices for Premier over 70% and have quipment at The Courts for on-site training.

Xplosive Edge plans to have one coach there every day and two on days required, to maintain a ten to one ratio per session. The testing will be held at Xplosive Edge (144th and Giles). Testing times will be announced at the tryouts. Players selected to play for Premier will be asked to attend one session. There is no extra charge for the testing.

Payment plans for the Xplosive Edge program will be available through Xplosive Edge. The training will be scheduled twice per week for 30 minute sessions. The players will also have access to the interactive video training through a member password. This training is not mandatory. It is a great opportunity for very little cost to get additional coaching from experts on injury prevention and strength training with the leading program in the country. If players and parents are serious about their child's athletics, they will jump on this opportunity. Xplosive Edge has brought the training facilities to us! They have equipment installed at The Courts. This allows us to coordinate the training sessions with practices. This is a "Division I -quality" strength program for anyone that wants their child to develop safely, under the supervision of expert strength coaches.

Rick Welch, Club Director
