Cloud Peak Volleyball

WHAT YOU PUT FIRST IMPROVES MOST. 🏐

Kobe Bryant was famous for training at 4:00 AM.

But the interesting part isn't that everyone should wake up at 4:00 AM.

It's why Kobe did.

If he trained first, basketball got his best energy—not whatever was left after the rest of the day.

Over time, those choices compound.

What you put first improves most.

That's true for volleyball, too.

There are a LOT of things competing for a teenager's time.

School. Friends. Phones. Jobs. Other sports. Social events. Sleep. Netflix. TikTok.

None of those things are necessarily bad.

But you can't put everything first.

At some point, every athlete has to decide:

What do I actually want?

And then—

Does the way I spend my time match my answer?

You don't have to want to be the best volleyball player in the world.

But if you want to make the team…

Earn a starting spot…

Play varsity…

Compete in college…

Or simply find out how good you could actually become…

Development has to get some of your best time—not just what's left over.

That's one reason we believe so strongly in club volleyball.

A season creates space to train.

To get thousands of reps.

To receive coaching.

To strengthen weaknesses.

To compete, come back to the gym, and get better again.

Practice → Develop → Compete → Assess → Repeat.

Months of putting development high enough on the list that you actually get to see what it can produce.

Kobe's 4:00 AM workouts weren't magic.

The priority was.

In 1990, Cris Carter got cut from the NFL.

Not because he wasn't talented.

His coach famously said:

“All he does is catch touchdowns.”

𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Carter's life and habits were falling apart. Getting cut became the wake-up call that changed everything.

He got sober. Changed his habits. Changed how he trained.

Years later, Carter described the difference between the player who got CUT and the player who became one of the greatest receivers in NFL history:

"𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.”

He showed up early. Stayed late. Caught hundreds of extra balls. He stopped relying on talent and took responsibility for what that talent could become.

The result?

1,000+ catches.
130 touchdowns.
NFL Hall of Fame.

Same talent. Different habits. Different result.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸.

And you can Turn Pro at age12.

You can decide you're going to:
..be coachable.
..do the extra reps.
..pay attention to the details.
..work when I don't feel like it.
..take responsibility for getting better.

We've watched athletes go from the B team or the bench to becoming starters their teams depend on.

We've also watched incredibly talented athletes stop improving because talent carried them far enough that they never learned how to do the work.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Yes, we want to develop GREAT volleyball players.

But even more, we want athletes asking:

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩?

That's why our vision, mission and values aren't just words for the wall.

They're standards we live by.

And our culture puts them into action:

𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢.

Someday volleyball will end.

But knowing how to work, take responsibility for your development, and do things exceptionally well?

That stays with you.

This is me playing in the State Championship my junior year—in a back brace.

I was able to play.

But being 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 doesn't mean your body is able to handle what your sport demands.

Brace it.
Tape it.
Ice it.
Rest it.

For a lot of athletes, that's the plan.

And sometimes those things help.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If your ankle hasn't been the same since you rolled it...
If your knee needs tape or ice after every practice...
If your hips always feel tight...
If your shoulder hurts every time you serve, hit, throw, or swim...

Those aren't just things you have to accept because you're an athlete.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Many limitations can be intentionally trained and progressively strengthened—even during your season.

That's why I'm offering a High School Athlete Assessment.

We'll identify where your body may be limited and what you can train to build more strength, range, and capacity for your sport.

Because the goal isn't just to keep playing.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.

To 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 without constantly icing your shoulder.
To 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦r without your hips screaming at you.
To 𝘫𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 without relying on ankle braces

𝗧𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄.

That's what my 𝗜𝗻-𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 is built for.

It starts with a $𝟯𝟬 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 to find out where you are now—and where your biggest opportunities are to build strength, range, and capacity.

Then we train them.

If you continue into training, your $30 goes toward your first month.

DM me 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 to get started.

We are sad to say Coach Kristine will be headed to Florida for her next adventure this week!

We will miss her dearly, while being equally excited and so happy for her and the opportunities she will have in Florida.

If you'd like to hang out, play some grass volleyball, maybe get some ice cream, and say goodbye to Coach Kristine, we will be at Kendrick Park tomorrow (Monday) night from 6:30-7:30 PM!

I know I am speaking for a lot of people you have touched while you have been here when I say:

WE LOVE YOU KRISTINE!!

Great players aren't built at tournaments. They're built in practice.

Here at Cloud Peak, competition matters. We want our athletes to compete against great teams, play to win, and experience high-level volleyball.

And, to develop great skills, we have found that athletes need to practice much more than they play.

That's why we're doubling down on DEVELOPMENT for 2027.

This season, our athletes can expect more:

🏐 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 — developing the specific skills their position demands

🧠 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 — learning to read, react, make decisions and solve problems in game-like situations

🔥 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘀 — learning to execute skills at the speed and pressure they'll experience in competition

💪 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 — building stronger, more capable athletes who can move, jump, land, accelerate and change direction well

And we're investing in our coaches, too.

Our coaching staff includes Gold Medal Squared-certified coaches, with coaches attending clinics and continuing their education in preparation for the 2027 season.

We're also bringing home techniques, systems and training methods we've learned from some of the 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆—and putting them to work in our gym.

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

In 2027, we're taking that commitment even further.

Our goal isn't simply to give athletes more quality tournaments.

It's to make sure that when they step onto the court against great competition, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁.

This season, there are FOUR WAYS TO PLAY.

Check out our post to see what option is best for you.
National and Elite team registration deadline is September 11th!

If you love volleyball and want to improve your skills in an environment designed for maximum growth with coaches who are obsessed with helping you reach your goals, join us this club season.
