SJVC U15-1 Manifesto: This Is Not For Everyone.
Most athletes want a team that fits into their life. Some athletes want a life that fits into their training.
They don’t ask, “Did I have fun today?” They ask, “Did I get better today?” – Kaizen!
And they ask it every day, for years.
They don’t fear failure. They fear wasted potential.
They don’t chase motivation. They chase mastery.
They don’t hope to win. They expect to win, because they’ve done the work that gives them the right to expect it.
The U15-1 Academy is built for them.
It isn’t for the majority, and it isn’t the mainstream. It’s for a small group of athletes who chose the hard road on purpose. They expect more of themselves and their coaches!
High standards, delivered with respect and collaboration. We push hard, and we never tear an athlete down to do it. “We only Recognize Excellence!” – Andor Gyulai
The SJVC U15-1 Academy is the first program built to develop athletes for both beach and indoor college scholarships, with each sport sharpening the other. Academy players also leverage free coaching through their high school indoor and beach seasons, so their development never stops and parents get more value from their club investment. The program is led by Andor Gyulai (Founder of Volleyball1on1.com, SJVC Owner and Club Director) and Andreas Galan (Co-Head Coach).

🏅 AVCA–Recognized Coaching Excellence
All SJVC Volleyball Club programs are led by Andor Gyulai, a celebrity youth volleyball coach recognized by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) as a leading innovator in youth volleyball coaching.
“Volleyball1on1 has created a 350-page Volleyball1on1 Coaching Manual, available exclusively to High School Head Coaches, with a systematized coaching formula designed to promote their success. 80% of businesses fail in the first 5 years and 96% fail in the first ten. Coaches leave the profession at that same rate and it is way too high. High School Coaches now have an opportunity with the Volleyball1on1 Coaches Manual to get access to some of the most comprehensive, proven, coaching resources that will help them build sustainable high school programs, and help us, as a coaching community, address these challenging statistics.” Kathy DeBoer, Former Executive Director Of The AVCA.
