High Performance Program

Welcome to "the first step in the USA Volleyball Athlete Pipeline"!

The Carolina Region High Performance (HP) Program provides an opportunity for players (boys and girls) at all levels to be trained by highly skilled coaches, using the methods and techniques which earned our Olympic Teams Gold and Silver medals during the Beijing Olympics in 2008. It is our goal to bring a competitive, productive and challenging training environment to every player in the Carolina Region who wishes to Perform at a Higher level.

If you have more questions on the Carolina Region HP Program, contact Sheila Holloway, our HP Program Director - hp@carolinaregionvb.org

HP Program Athlete Database

In past seasons, we have created and maintained a separate Athlete Database for participants to fill out before attending their first HP clinic of the season. We will not have a separate HP Athlete Database this season as most of the information we collected can already be accessed in the Carolina Region Registration System. We are asking all High Performance Clinic attendees to log in to their Carolina Region Membership Account and make sure all your contact information is current and up-to-date. Also, please go to the "Other Info" tab at the top of your record. Once you select "Other Info", more tabs will appear about half-way down the screen. Please click on the "Player Info" and "Personal Info" tabs and fill in any information you are able. This will help both the High Performance Staff as well as your Club Coaches (Club administrators will have access to this also so can use this information for uniform/apparel orders, etc.). If any of your information changes during the season, you can log in to your record any time to keep it updated. REMINDER: You must be a current member of the Carolina Region to participate in HP Clinics, so be sure your status is "Current" before attending.

The introduction will include the coach’s name and college, club, high school or any other volleyball organization. That will be the only time the coach’s affiliation is to be mentioned during their involvement with the Carolina Region High Performance Program.
