Girls Club Prep- For grades 6 – 9

Want to try out for a Rapids Rep Team? On a Rep team but want to get more touches? Getting ready for your school team? Club Prep is designed to provide you with the experience you need. The focus is on technical excellence, movement to the ball and aggressive play.

Club Prep will consist of skill development and some informal game play within the 1.5-hour practice session.

Skill Development will consist of innovative teaching and precise skill feedback. Athletes should be prepared to work hard and be able to make skill adjustments quickly. Focus is essential to developing a skill.

Gameplay will be part of the practice session. The focus will be on the skills learned during the session, with an emphasis on learning how to compete.

Elite Club Prep – By Invitation Only (January 2026)

This program had a very successful inaugural program in the winter of 2024. Most of the Elite girls are being considered for the Rapids A and B teams despite not having any previous travel team experience.

I am looking for the girls who stand out in the fall sessions of Club Prep as potential athletes for the travel team. For the final two practices of the winter session, Rapids coaches and travel team athletes were invited to attend. The Elite CP athletes and the travel team athletes played together and met the coaches as part of an introduction to the Rapids Rep system.

Head Coach Beth Schulz – I enjoy developing talent!! Club Prep is an opportunity to build the skill level of the Club Prep girls and instill confidence in them as volleyball players.
