We thank all of you who have entrusted us with a role in the development of your daughter's volleyball skills. We also want to thank you for your feedback telling us of your positive experiences.
"Athlete Advantage is a great Lehigh Valley resource for developing skills in volleyball. Jeff and Ryan accelerated my daughter’s (Kaylee) outside hitting performance for the 2009 club season. Attention to detail on the mechanics of hitting, an encouraging environment, all at the individual level, builds skills, confidence and only results in the best to offer the game." – Mark Kraft
“My daughter (Anna) has benefited greatly from her training with AA due to their attention to the fine points of player technique. The staff corrects players in an encouraging manner that pushes them to be their best.” - Scott Mease

Hitting Mechanics Clinic July 31 - August 1 Don't delay. Response was outstanding for this clinic in May. We're anticipating another excellent response. There is a July 28 deadline. We may reach our capacity prior to this date. We continue to hear positive feedback from players who have attended this clinic in the past who are experiencing results in their hitting. The registration form is now available. If you have any questions, please contact us via email advantageclinics@aol.com . This is a comprehensive program designed to evaluate each athlete individually. The purpose is to develop proper hitting mechanics through biomechanics education and skill correction with an emphasis on injury prevention. Video analysis and the industry’s top attack trainer SoloSpike LS2000 provide a teaching environment that develops efficient and confident hitters.
"Thank you both very much for all the time and effort you gave to supporting Danielle's bid to make the Parkland team. Your open gyms, hitters camps, defense camp, and club team made a huge difference for her. Danielle, Christine and I are very grateful for all the support you have given her. Just wanted to let you know that you made a huge difference for her, and that you run an excellent program as well as Athlete Advantage Company. Thank you so much again! We appreciate your program very much!" Ed Pullin (Danielle's father)

Hitter's Club We're wrapping up our Tuesday sessions on July 14. The Hitter's Club is a maintenance program designed to provide athletes with a high number of repetitions to reinforce proper hitting mechanics learned during the Hitting Mechanics clinic.
Volley Fair Expect to see more information in the next month on this new concept. We think you'll like it.
Boys' Hitting Mechanics clinic This is similar to the popular clinic we have offered to girls. No dates have yet been set. Contact us at advantageclinics@aol.com if you have interest.
Winter Clinics. Dates not yet set We are putting together a mult-day offering during the Christmas Holiday week.
Team Camps We will work with Middle School and CYO programs to help you build a solid foundation. Contact us at advantageclinics@aol.com to customize a program to meet your specific needs.
Private Lessons Many athletes have benefited from lessons tailored to meet their specific objectives. We integrate state of the art equipment such as the Aircat (pictured below) and the SoloSpike LS2000 into a program. To speak with us about our program, please contact us via email at advantageclinics@aol.com
All Skills and Advanced Setter camps with Charlene Johnson-Tagaloa June 15 - 18 Bio - Charlene Johnson-Tagaloa.  Both of these camps were very well attended. Charlene, a former assistant-setter coach at the University of Nebraska, former member of the USA National Team, 2000 Olympian, and current clinician with USA Volleyball for the High Performance program is an excellent clinician. Athletes love the way she breaks things down, showing the wrong way and correct way to perform skills. Charlene demonstrates and teaches the latest techniques promoted by USA Volleyball. Many of our campers have said this is the most beneficial camp they have ever attended.

“The SoloSpike helped my younger players develop confidence with their form and arm swing. The veteran players also use it to practice techniques of different attacks from different areas of the court. The SoloSpike is also great for developing serves such as the jump serve and the roundhouse. It gives the players the perfect ball placement so they can concentrate on their arm swing. This device definitely improved my players performance and confidence in the short time we used the machine. It is well-built and sturdy and will last for many years to come.”
