A wonderful club that feels more like a family. So happy to have my daughter,not only be coached at A4, but, be a part of a program that believes in developing the whole person and not just the athlete. Kudos to A4 for not just coming up with a good philosophy, but for actually putting one in place and providing excellent mentors both on and off the court

We played for this club for 2 seasons. We were all in, leveraging their onsite conditioning partner Alpha and attending the few events they put on. Beautiful facility but the teams at our level were weak from a competitive perspective and there didn't seem to be any collaborating on how to build the talent to the next level. We tried to help by doing some team building, gaining permission from the owner to do an overnight at the facility. The coach didn’t attend and they turned off the air in the early evening. It was miserable. Last season we inquired about our daughters placement wanting to be on an aggressive development team. The coach said “no problem, she can move up” - and then I got an invoice for another 1500”. How’s that for rigor? We declined and sat on a team that progressed poorly since it was far too late to move clubs at that point. Fast forward to this season. My daughter wanted to play for them again so tried out, was offered a position, then the next day this was yanked (by email, classy) because they didn’t have “enough players accept”. I think that says it all, as does her response.. “figures”. If your daughter isn’t already a top player and is looking to build her skills, I’d keep looking.
Giving no refunds for this cancelled season! The owner was refunded tournament fees and still won’t consider giving refunds to families that paid for nonexistent season.
Several of the coaches are not passionate about coaching volleyball and don't have it as a priority. There is no sense of partnership or family between players and club. The owner is often unavailable and wont even return a call. We most likely wont go back this year. The facility is nice with many courts.
My daughter loves this club. Great instruction, coaches and facility. She is looking forward to joining the A4 familia this fall.
