Our journey with volleyball began in high school and continued through our university years. After graduating, we coached high school varsity programs at a highly competitive level for several seasons. Volleyball has given us—and our family—so much, teaching us invaluable lessons in teamwork, dedication, and individual accountability.
We started FPC-STL after witnessing the pressure placed on young athletes to deliver immediate results. We saw this often leading players to chase quick wins and temporary gains over true, long-term athletic development.
When it came to our own daughter, we chose a different path. For the first few years, her only job was to focus on foundational strength and skill development and, most importantly, to keep loving the game. After three years of dedication to those fundamentals, she was prepared, confident, and ready to excel at a competitive level.
We built FPC-STL to offer the same blueprint to the St. Louis area: a challenging, but fundamentally healthy environment where young athletes can truly blossom. We are committed to teaching the core skills and demanding the consistent effort required to build a rock-solid foundation, ensuring every player is prepared not just for today's match, but for a lifetime of high performance.
